Anyway that link is for the trunk ones right?

sinceday1 04-29-2010 03:24 PM

So let me clarify. You only need to cut the Rubber portion where the ball joint needs to be exposed? about an inch of it or so?

And your website says "Carbon Fiber Hood Damper" but on selection scroll down menu, it says "370z REAR DECK"(?(?(?)?)?)


thanks

You will need to wait for the website to come up. we are having issues with the add to cart button.

JB-370z 04-29-2010 03:46 PM

Techincal-diff-aculties :)

kenchan 04-29-2010 03:52 PM

ryan- while your IT guy's figuring out the basket button...

how much further does the hood open vs the stock prop post?

the washer fluid hose on the passenger side looks okay in you pict, but just wanted to make sure the dampers dont open the hood too far cause i know that hose is kinda short when the hood's open.

does that make any sense? :D hahaha

kenchan 04-29-2010 04:02 PM

hummm... open 9-5 EST. looks like the store closed for the day. :D :icon14:

Prosport Gauges 04-29-2010 04:51 PM

man im never closed... at home now ;p

Actually the hood opens probably a micro meter more.... Hose should be fine.

Ill double check it tomorrow at the warehouse!

anyways, button is fixed now guys!

SE 04-29-2010 04:57 PM

Let us know if we can improve on things with the review. we are always looking for feedback.

Vegitto-kun 04-29-2010 06:22 PM

I shall do so.

I will also look for a way to minimise cutting of the rubber.

Wouldn't it be possible to cut the rubber open and then put the bearing in. like the bearing being INSIDE the rubber instead of just removing it.

I shall revolutionise this product :roflpuke2:

kenchan 04-29-2010 06:54 PM

yah, i looked at the rubber/plastic cover (you can just peel it back from the side to see the screw for the ball joint). it'll take some trial and error to cut it but i think i can definitely cut the plastic without trimming the rubber seal at all. :)

the area removed in ryan's pict is pretty significant... like 12" or more.

i also realized that the washer hose does not stretch before the hood's hinge hits the a-pillar cover.
as long as there is no contact on the a-pillar cover when fully opened, i think im sold. :p

Caravanshaka 04-29-2010 10:03 PM

so, any kind of guarantee against hood bending? Since our hoods are aluminum, the force should be lower on these than typical steel hood struts to ensure that the power of the struts don't damage the hood.

Marco_xyz 04-29-2010 11:32 PM

Will there ever be dampeners specifically for carbon fiber hoods?

we sell about 20+ kits for other make and models and no issues with bending.

Vegitto-kun 04-30-2010 08:47 AM

So ryan. Am I the first that bought them? :roflpuke2:

And what is the ETA on delivery

NewYorkJon34 04-30-2010 08:48 AM

So when you go to open the hood, will it pop up on it's own just like the trunk already does?

Hood pops open like trunk then raise it a little, shock takes over from there and pushes hood open.

theDreamer 04-30-2010 08:56 AM

Ryan, are you going to do any non carbon fiber versions?
I am sure weight savings is minimal with the carbon fiber and I would just like a nice black.
