Kenchan, thanks for the update. we will be looking at this also. I know what you mean we have to work around things. Even if we made the strut part smaller in length i think the silver part of the strut will still hit that fender piece.
I noticed in the last pic in your review the hood looks perfect! :) |

Modshack-sounds good. I'm curious if your mod can clear the battery cover side (housing side of the damper) cause that's where it rubs most. The stackup requires about another 10mm so relocating the hood side ball joint could potentially help too...unless one just removes the battery cover and surround completely.
The shaft side not so much rubbing...maybe 3mm clearance is all I needed so bending that ledge down helped. Anyway I'm interested what you come up with. :p |
We can also make the pieces modshack is talking about but we looked at this already...
but looking over kenchan last hood shot, it seems fine :) just had to move the cover over a hair |

Just do it... try it and come up with ideas. I want to see and try other's ideas although mine is looking pretty damn perfect right now using nothing but ryan's kit. :p if I have the last 2-3% would be 100% perfect. |

And the hood can take quite a beating before it bends so don't think it's as fragile as you may think. If you have a CF hood, you're on your own. :D |
Modshack, as we discussed earlier here are a couple of pictures of the lower mount on my CTD dampers on the 350Z. After looking at my 350Z kit I'm with you it looks like the lower mounting point for the ball on the 370Z kit needs to be moved in toward the engine.

The 350Z's damper setup looks like my G's damper setup. The dampers are much shorter and more inline with the fender line. The one thing I couldn't overcome was just the physical size of the damper housing. Meaning you can lay it flat on the battery cover with the shaft end disconnected and it still rubs. One of the first things I tried when it first bottomed out. So decided it might be easier just to lower the battery cover surround piece because it is literally a stackup issue. (Well, in my case). Hope your braket works out! :D |
Interesting. When I first saw the size of the dampers I wondered how they would filt under the hood. There isn't a lot of space vertically between the bottom of the hood and the battery surrond with the hood closed.
Also it seems to me that the upper and lower mounting points should be in more of a straight line. |
We tried running it straight and there seems to be no way it will work! it pushed so hard the hood almost wouldnt close!
