DE or HR ???

[Terryz350]

Hi

I've had my 350z since August and just fact finding to see what info I can find out

My car is a 2008 in ( K51) twilight grey - thanks to the colour post on the club

When reading some posts I've stumbled across people talking about DE or HR

Would I be right in thinking my car is a HR?

and why is it a HR - engine type ?

 

Many thanks

Terry

Does the engine have two intakes and a bonnet bulge? If so it's a HR, if not it's a DE.

 

HR has a bit more power and internals are quite different to achieve the extra power.

HR denotes the engine type, yes (High Revolution). Just check the number of intakes, as some people add an HR bonnet with the bulge to non-HR cars.

hi

yes it has a double in take and a bonnet bulge

so its a HR then - thats what i thought but thank you for confirming it for me

are their any issues related to the HR version that i should be aware of

cheers

I'm sure others far more knowledgeable than me will be along soon, but the only HR specific I can think of is the are the oil gallery gaskets are a common problem.

 

Do a search on here and there's all the info you'll need

Does it have the secret switch?

From what I can see from your pic I believe this is a previous forum car and has the 19" LMGT4 Wheels which were refurbed by the previous owner so take good care of them as they are highly sort after and worth a bob or two.

Hi flex

yes it probably does have a secret switch - i just havent found it yet

 

Hi Shezza - thanks for the info - yes the wheels are nice but you know that feeling when you just catch the kirb and are so disappointed in yourself - ive had it once already

but i will look after the car - it is a credit to its previous owner - i will let you know how good after its MOT on friday - there is always something that comes back to bite me on the bum LOL

 

cheers
