Kenchan, I'm not aware of there being more than one version of the ZSpeed 370Z undershroud. There are two versions for the 350Z though. Version 2 being the improved version.

i see. thanks for the info. the pict i saw had a much smaller service hole than the one you have so thought that was a big improvement.

now you wont need to remove like 16 screws just to access the filter and plug.

The trap door is more than adequate enough to change the filter and plug.

Why have you had a third set of shocks changed?

How well is it if you have an oil cooler kit installed? Being the theromstatic plate extendes out a little further.

I don't have an oil cooler installed so I cant really comment on that but I don't think it would be much of a problem especially with a strap wrench. Off the car I didn't think the trap door was large enough but once I installed it I could see it gave plenty of access and the door is completely removable.
