Assuming the 370Z hood is about the same weight, though, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.

I had hood dampers on my 350Z, will have to wait and see for the 370Z.

Not big of an issue for me now.

So to clarify, no one has created a kit that fits the 370z as of yet, correct? However, now it appears there might be some interest, so the vendors and/or you crafty modders are hard at work creating a set of hood dampers that will fit the 370z?

heh I was working with a local shop to produce these like 6 months ago, but nothing ever materialized. I'd be interested in a set.

Man I must have missed this thread. I've been looking for some hood dampers for my 370Z. I've had them on my 350Z for a number of years. Hopefully someone will figure out how to make a set soon.

The hood dampers on my 350Z were made by CTD in Germany. Courtesy Nissan sells them among other vendors.

TipsZ · 12-30-2009, 11:36 AM

Any updates on other vendors making a set for the 370z yet?

theDreamer · 12-30-2009, 11:38 AM

"we tried test fit and will not work we need to re work the part to fit that car sorry at this time we dont make

nrg"

I'll try to get a 370Z in next week and have them made. for sure we need a bracket for the hood the other end of the damper will have a ball join bolt which replaces factory screw. Should be easy to make.

This is great news EVOR .. let me know when they are produced, or if you need a guinea pig, as I am #1 on your list to purchase a set.
