To be honest, I don't know why Japanese car doesn't use hood-struts...

If such a good quality one only cost $90, the cost for Nissan to put those in as OEM will be even cheaper....

European have them almost 20 years ago.... and Japanese.....

It made C&D's 10 best for this year, so that's nice.

for me, i need to drive a frs/brz to have credible insults to post. so far, only real world vs my honda fitto.

Oh hush it! It took me a second too. Just stick around, otherwise you won't learn jack sh!t. I look back at some of my earlier posts and I sound like a moron.

Don't even sweat it. The mod is pretty subtle. You pretty much have to know what you were looking for (which is why I went back and edited my original post to reflect what the mod was)!

yah, once this question is settled, i shall obtain one for my Z.

i pop the hood every weekend (unplug/plug battery manager) in the warmer months so the dampers come very handy.

i noted after about 6yrs use, the damper ball joints need grease. i used white lithium on my G's dampers.

started to squeak like some old car... oh wait, my G is kinda old.
