Unlike most engines, the VQ series water pump is chain driven and sits inside the engine block rather than on the front of the engine. It is one of the most labour intensive service items on the VQ platform, making it essential to fit a quality replacement that will not require the job to be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-pull\"\u003eThe VQ35DE water pump sits deep in the engine block and is driven by the timing chain. Access requires removal of significant front-end components and partial disassembly of the timing chain cover. Because the job overlaps directly with the timing chain, front crankshaft seal, and camshaft seals, most workshops and engine builders treat a water pump replacement as the trigger to refresh all timing-end components at the same time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"wl-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"wl-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWP8345X\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine water pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain driven (internal timing chain)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVQ35DE · VQ35HR · VQ37VHR · VR38DETT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes O-rings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes block and backplate side O-rings included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"wl-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOEM cross reference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"wl-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNissan \/ Infiniti\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21010-AL525 · 21010-AL526 · 21010-AL527 · 21010-AL528 · 21010-JK00A · B1010-AL50B · B1010-JK00A · B1010-JK20A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"wl-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy OEX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM specification replacement engineered to meet the fit and performance requirements of the original Nissan water pump across the VQ and VR engine families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all necessary O-rings for the engine block and backplate sealing surfaces correct O-ring fitment is critical on the VQ platform as a failed outer O-ring can allow coolant to enter the oil sump and mimic a head gasket failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew unit not remanufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from ISO certified facilities as part of the OEX (Original Equipment Xchange) range developed for Australian and New Zealand market conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-references directly to multiple Nissan and Infiniti OEM part numbers, confirming correct application and fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the VQ35DE, VQ35HR, VQ37VHR, and VR38DETT in a single part number suitable for the 350Z DE, 350Z HR, 370Z, GT-R R35, and related Infiniti platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"wl-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-install\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-install-box\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-label\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-val\"\u003eAdvanced \/ Workshop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-install-box\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-label\"\u003eDrive type\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-val\"\u003eTiming chain (internal)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-install-box\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-label\"\u003eBook time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-val\"\u003e2 to 3 hours minimum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-install-box\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-label\"\u003eO-rings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wl-install-val\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-notice-amber\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis is one of the most labour intensive jobs on the VQ platform.\u003c\/strong\u003e The water pump is located inside the engine block driven by the timing chain access requires significant front-end disassembly. Pay close attention to O-ring fitment during installation: the pump uses two O-rings separating coolant from oil, and a failed outer O-ring can cause coolant to enter the front cover and oil sump, replicating the symptoms of a head gasket failure. Always replace both O-rings and apply the correct Nissan RTV at designated sealing points per the factory service manual. Because of the labour overlap, it is strongly recommended to replace the front crankshaft seal, camshaft seals, and timing chain tensioner at the same time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"wl-divider\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wl-fitment\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNissan 350Z Z33 · 2003 to 2006 (VQ35DE · 3.5L V6)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNissan 350Z Z33 HR · 2007 to 2009 (VQ35HR · 3.5L V6)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNissan 370Z Z34 · 2009 to 2020 (VQ37VHR · 3.7L V6)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNissan GT-R R35 · 2009 onwards (VR38DETT · 3.8L V6 Twin Turbo)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfiniti G35 V35 · 2003 to 2008 (VQ35DE)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfiniti G37 V36 · 2008 to 2013 (VQ37VHR)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfiniti FX35 S50 \/ S51 · 2003 to 2012 (VQ35DE \/ VQ35HR)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfiniti M35 V36 · 2006 to 2010 (VQ35DE \/ VQ35HR)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.88em; color: #6b7280; margin-top: 6px;\"\u003eConfirm your engine code before ordering.
