I did the bonnet struts when the car go there - they were dead. Maxima bonnet struts fit and worked fine (sorry the guy didn't know the series they were from so I can't confirm exact model code).

Anyway - my next problem is now the boot struts are dying - does anyone know a local replacement or do I need the bloke to bring his whole collection again?

If you go to any truck or bus spare parts joint they will have them. You only need to know two important things: 1. the pressure rating from the sticker on the side of the strut - in NM newton metres. 2. the travel length of the strut.

no pressure rating on the struts unfortunately - that would have been too easy.

Also - they are L and R according to their casings, and they don't use standard ball/spring type mounts. Looks like this is going to be a pain

I think you'll find the L and R mean jack shit. I had mine re-gassed the other day and I think I remember the man saying this.

Got my bonnet struts replaced from a mobile guy that has at least heard about stageas... i.e he didnt give me the ususal 'you have a nissan what???' when looking for parts.

Can come round to you if need be. Did them for bout $80 on exchange where he gets to keep your ones... they werent any use to me so was happy to hand them over.

Have his details round somewhere, let us know if you need them.

prolly the same guy then :) he asked me "nissan what eh?" but then wrote it down afterwards....I'll get him out for the boot as well

Sorry to start up old thread, but my S2 bonnet struts are dying a slow death and will fail shortly i think. So Nissan Maxima bonnet struts fit yeah? The mobile guy should have a pair?

true that if you are unshure take your strut with you and show them so the can measure it and they will have a rough idear of the stenth if it's not ritten on it.

go to a truck supplyer or a company that manafactures truck bodies or tradsman trailers and toolboxes.

in newcastle we have ovesco. hope this helps yu out

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
