Your Z’s factory splash shield is just that, a splash shield. It works to keep water and dirt out of the engine bay, but that’s about all it does well. One well placed bump or unlucky rock and you can say goodbye to the stock splash shield, and if you’re really unlucky, your engine.—-The Mishimoto skid plate for the 2023 Nissan Z provides unmatched protection and performance. This skid plate is constructed from 3mm-thick powder-coated aluminum that’s built to withstand impacts on the street or the track. Our skid plate attaches to the front fascia and extends all the way back to the subframe, covering and protecting your Z’s plastic oil pan. A large vent with pre-installed foam shrouding creates a low-pressure zone under the car to help draw heat out of the engine bay and pull fresh air through the cooling stack.—-The one-piece construction and slotted rear mounting points make installation of the Mishimoto 2023 Nissan Z skid plate is a breeze in about 30 minutes. Our skid plate reuses the factory mounting points, eliminating the need for any drilling, or cutting. Once installed, maintenance is made fast and mess-free thanks to the removable service panel. Our service panel is installed with just three bolts and threaded inserts, so there’s no fumbling around with nuts or spacers for a simple oil change. Like all our 2023 Nissan Z products, this skid plate is backed by our Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for a lifetime of protection.
