chalkie4721 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice on correct piston pressure (lbs) for a zeds lambo door kit? I've fitted kit to my zed and when you sit in cat and try open them up they won't lift, you need to stand next to door and use 2 hands to lift it so o think my 600lb pistons ar not strong enough.

14N Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Assuming it's a new kit, is it not worth contacting the manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 That was quick getting them on! Yes +1 on contacting the supplier, if they were 350z specific then give them a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkie4721 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes they are specific for 350 , manufacturer says they are correct ones but I feel as if they don't assist in pushing up door:/ only got one on Chris took me 7 hrs to do that, will wait and see if I can resolve this problem before tackling other door was hoping to get them done before it goes into bookshop on 18th.

hensh65 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Sorry bodyshop Sent from my C1505 using Tapatalk Would love to see what a bookshop could do with the bodykit your putting on it mate I don't know how hard it was to get the piston on but is it worth trying the other one that isn't fitted to see if maybe just the one you have is a duff?

chalkie4721 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 The piston only takes two minutes to swap over and the two were the same, just trying ground out if anybody has put on a piston with about 700 or 800 lbs Sent from my C1505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Are we somewhere between the year 1999 and 2005 again?! I'll be interested to see what it looks like. The doors are VERY heavy though, if the people who made it don't know that, then they might have underestimated the size needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I would send one to sgs engineering and see if they can supply a stronger one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pm madmarky. I'm pretty sure he has lambo doors. He sure has, I think it's the LSD kit that he's got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I dont know what pressure mine are set too as they were perfect for the car out of the box but then I guess you get what you pay for. As previous experience with gas struts for my bonnet I know that you can get replacements that are over gassed and have a small nipple on them to allow you to release some gas to get them to the perfect pressure. I used this company for my bonnet ones http://www.gasstrutengineering.co.uk/ which luckily is just down the road from me. Not sure its gonna be much use for you being in Scotland but they may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkie4721 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 cheers Markey, I gave up on my lambo doors as zed was going into bookshop to get a makeover, with Scotland being cold for 3 quarters of the year decided to give them a miss as I know what pistons can be like in cold weather, I got mine from a site called CARiD, don't know if they are a duff site but got my money back for them anyway. cheers for info anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
