M35 Bonnet Strut Kit

[iamhe77]

Installed mine this arvo... Was a breeze. I installed them so the bonnet was the same height as I would be using the hook but that all depends your your own preference.... Thanks again cam. Exerlent work...

Oh? Don't quite understand why you'd need the struts if you are still using the hook, but whatever makes you happy Josh

yeah i am quite un orthadox but had them in my aristo and rather use the struts then the hook. when i start the engine work later i prob will just turn the bottom supports around and get more height.

where can I get my hands on a set of these, the stock latch is gonna ruin my f/g bonnet

[iamhe77]

Dolphin do two sets, one for the OEM bonnet and one for their CF bonnet.

Maybe have a look at the CF bonnet ones?

[WAGON_BOY]

where would I find them Cam ???

yeah the C/F one's would probly do the trick as its lighter

[iamhe77]

Hmm, they aren't on the Dolphin website so I would see if Jesse can contact them to see if they have any left over.

Worth an email at least, no?

[WAGON_BOY]

yes please

Hey guys (and gals), took a chance on this Takashi 350z bonnet strut kit on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOOD-BONNET-STRUT-SHOCK-ABSORBER-BLACK-DAMPER-NISSAN-350Z-/181873752620?

Made in Taiwan but local (Melbourne) supplier. $57 delivered.

Had to swap the hood brackets left to right and needs a longer bolt and a nut for the fender bracket (the kit has short bolts and no nuts, maybe 350z has factory threaded holes?)

Opens to stock height, Dolphin one looks like the fender bracket is longer so opens a bit more.

Remains to be seen how long these "cheaper" struts last.
