Current seller options

WHERE TO BUY

Open an exact listing, then confirm fitment, stock, price, and shipping with the seller before ordering.

Seller links checked . Prices and availability can change.

What you need to know

Use physical left/right first: left is driver side and right is passenger side only on a US/LHD car. Cited catalog fitment is 2003-08: 2003 coupe; 2004-08 coupe/Roadster; VQ35DE for 2003-06 and VQ35HR for 2007-08. The factory manual treats the main and sub sender circuits separately. Diagnose sender resistance, wiring, and gauge/combination-meter behavior before buying; a dead-pump/no-start complaint belongs in a separate fuel-pump-module row.

OEM numbers

Fuel-level senders only. Left/driver sub sender: 25060-AL51A. Right/passenger main sender mounted on the fuel-pump assembly: 25060-CD00A. Scope is US-spec 2003-08 coupe and 2004-08 Roadster, covering VQ35DE and VQ35HR. Complete fuel-pump modules and G35/V35 applications are outside this row.

Supersession

Left/driver sub sender: 25060-AL511 or 25060-CD010 -> 25060-AL51A. Right/passenger main sender: 25060-CD000 -> 25060-CD00A. These are two separate side-specific senders; the old left-side numbers are alternatives superseded by the same final number, not a proven sequential chain.

Fitment

Use physical left/right first: left is driver side and right is passenger side only on a US/LHD car. Cited catalog fitment is 2003-08: 2003 coupe; 2004-08 coupe/Roadster; VQ35DE for 2003-06 and VQ35HR for 2007-08. The factory manual treats the main and sub sender circuits separately. Diagnose sender resistance, wiring, and gauge/combination-meter behavior before buying; a dead-pump/no-start complaint belongs in a separate fuel-pump-module row.

Aftermarket options

No trustworthy direct-fit aftermarket sender was verified for this page. The checked purchase paths are new genuine Nissan senders. Used senders are not recommended because wear at the resistor card and float mechanism is difficult to judge before installation.

Before you buy

For US-spec 2003-08 350Z only. This page covers the two fuel-level senders and inaccurate-gauge diagnosis; it does not cover complete fuel-pump modules, G35/V35 applications, or the 2009 Roadster. Diagnose the sender circuits, wiring, and combination meter before ordering.
