these struts on my car were already f**ked up when i got it...

the old owner drilled a hole through it to put a pin in there to let them hold the hood :pwned:

so i need new ones...were at 2 nissan dealers over here, the one told me it cost me ridiculous 150USD for new ones from japan???:blink:

i think thats a bit too much lol, the other dealer said they were not available...

anybody know where i can get some cheap second hand or some interchangeable ones from other cars?

Monroe Part# ML4371

I got them from Malz and yep $52.50 each. Straight fit, job was done in about 10 mins by myself.

Big stick / something to hold weight of bonnet, 12mm to take the factory struts off, 13mm to put the new ones one (bolt size is different, but again, they're a direct fit, no stuffing around).

Nissan genuine ones can't be rebuilt for some reason, to do with their odd seal design or some shit.

Edited by Nic_A31

I've been using them for over a year now, and no drama's, they feel exactly the same this afternoon as they did the day I installed them.

A bit better than the factory ones if you ask me...just lift the hood a couple of inches and it'll extend all the way up by itself. Likewise if you push it down halfway and let go, it doesn't slam onto the radiator support, it goes down gently.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
