Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) 350Z Bonnet Dampers £55 plus £6 delivery So here are some close ups of all the component parts Really straight forward to fit, remove the brake fluid and battery covers together with their surrounds. Remove the two bolts (one either side of the engine bay) discard these and remove the front most nut on the bonnet hinges. Fit the the top mounts onto the bonnet hinge bolt. Fit the top fixings of the dampers to the new top mounts. Use the countersunk bolt (more about this in a bit) to secure the lower damper mounts to the front wings, these replace the two bolts discarded earlier. Fit the the lower damper fixings to the lower mounts and replace the brake fluid and battery cover plastic surrounds. The surrounds fit perfectly over the lower fixings because of the countersunk bolts, so no need to trim plastic surrounds to fit. I also like the non metallic ball joints receptacle so very little chance of rust as experienced with other kit. A doddle to fit, took me no more than half an hour or so, all in all seems like a good bit of kit Edited March 28, 2017 by Tarmac@TarmacSportz Quote

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 Lol, no bud. You would have to buy the whole unit Quote
HAMLNJ Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Not sure if those photos are a bit backwards or I am but they seem to show things the wrong way around. First attempt the bonnet didn't lift all the way up. For a novice it can be left and right as you look at the car or the other way round. These photos seem to show as you look at the car. The top mounts in the pictures seem to be fitted wrong. But... I might of just got it completely wrong...I am a complete novice. Quote

The 'L' and 'R' refer to when you're in the car as opposed to looking at it from the front. Quote
HAMLNJ Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nearly threw the spanner at the wall half way through lol Quote
bc1987 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Do these open the bone higher than with the metal pole? Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Graham can confirm but I think its about the same height Quote
bc1987 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Go on then can you add them to my pile of bits to collect? Quote
