It was also featured in the Need for Speed video game.<\/li><li>The Nissan 350Z&rsquo;s malleability, playfulness, and overall style are some of the reasons why the model is a popular companion among gearheads.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For nearly 50 years, the Nissan Z has represented Japanese style, sportiness, and engineering. What started in 1970 as a response to Toyota&rsquo;s 2000GT sports car has become a staple in Nissan&rsquo;s lineup and a beloved enthusiast vehicle. Perhaps the most instantly recognizable Nissan Z of our time is the 350Z announced for the 2002 model year. With prominent roles in <em>The Fast and the Furious<\/em> as well as video games such as &ldquo;Need For Speed,&rdquo; the 350Z is a celebrity in its own right. Twenty years later, the 350Z continues to attract a certain kind of celebrity: social media creators and influencers. But why are automotive influencers so attracted to a model that debuted nearly two decades ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its inception, the 350Z had cemented its place in the automotive aftermarket. There were seven available trim levels from the factory alone, and heavily modified versions made their way on to the big screen and into video games. Hollywood perpetuated the idea that the Nissan Z could be modified in an infinite number of ways, which was largely true. On today&rsquo;s small screen, the 350Z makes for an excellent content companion. It&rsquo;s malleable, playful to drive, and can be just about anything you&rsquo;d like it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@devon_ab\/video\/7093987092539165998\" data-video-id=\"7093987092539165998\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@devon_ab?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"@devon_ab\">@devon_ab<\/a> <p>Wheel hub install via @carpartscom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ad?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"#ad\">#ad<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/carpartscom?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"#carpartscom\">#carpartscom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/sponsor?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"#sponsor\">#sponsor<\/a><\/p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7093987086482541358?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"&#9836; original sound &ndash; DRIFTER\">&#9836; original sound &ndash; DRIFTER<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/exhaust-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Exhaust systems\">Exhaust systems<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cold-air-intake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cold air intakes\">cold air intakes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/coil-over-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"coil over kits\">coil over kits<\/a>, and complete engine swaps are just a few of the popular &ldquo;mods&rdquo; that flood YouTube channels dedicated to this modern classic.

JDM, short for Japanese Domestic Market, refers to vehicles produced and intended solely for Japan. The term &ldquo;JDM&rdquo; itself has morphed into an automotive subculture of its own and is often associated with the tuning and modification of Japanese sports cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, Nissan&rsquo;s Z line of cars have been sporty without pretense and fun without being flashy. The 350Z, also known as the Z33 to enthusiasts, was produced from 2002-2009 and it&rsquo;s estimated that 180,000 units were made during that time. Good examples are plentiful and can be had at a reasonable price point, making them prime candidates for customization. Because the &ldquo;Z&rdquo; nameplate has been around for 50 years, they appeal to gearheads of all ages. After all, good, inexpensive automotive fun will never go out of style.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>For nearly 50 years, the Nissan Z has represented Japanese style, sportiness, and engineering.
