Hydraulic Bonnet Struts

[Loadmaster]

Is there such a mod kit available for a 2017 370Z, either Nissan or aftermarket?

 

Cheers....

You would have to disconnect the bonnet poppers to achieve this on the 370 buddy. I'm not sure how easy this would be to sort out though.

Also interested in an answer to this. Want some for my own Nismo

Sorry Andy, not quite sure what you mean.

You need to replace the bonnet hinges to do this on the 370, they have those daft pedestrian pop up hinges.

Was considering it myself, then I saw what was needed so never bothered following up on it. Torqen listed a kit and hinges, probably still have them.

And removing the pedestrian protection devices means you are uninsured.

Searched long and hard for a set when I had my Nismo and they didn’t produce any for the reasons above. Too much to change the oem ones out.

I did it to my 370 GT years ago and it wasn't that difficult, no need to remove any sensors or the bonnet lift mechanism but you do need to be creative.

As good as a link that video is, that 370z does not have the pedestrian hood poppers which are the main stumbling block when doing this mod
