Product Description

Frustrated by the goofy hood prop rod embarrassing you at car shows and getting in the way while you are working under the hood? The Z1 High-Lift Hood Strut Kit fits all '90-'96 300ZX models and replaces the original hood prop rod with two high-lift gas-charged hood struts for a cleaner-looking engine bay and easier service. To improve upon other designs, two rubber bumpers were added to the underside of each bracket to prevent paint damage in the engine bay.

Installation is simple; the provided mounting bracket and ball stud are installed in existing holes on your Z32's chassis. No modification to the chassis is required. After installation, you gain an additional 12'' of underhood space at the leading edge of the hood.

Now available in three different versions!

  • Low Pressure - Intended for use with carbon fiber or fiberglass hoods. These struts have a very low closing pressure, designed specifically for hoods made from materials that may be compromised or damaged from use with higher-pressure gas struts.
  • Medium Pressure - Intended for use with OEM aluminum hoods. This option may also be used with fiberglass or carbon fiber hoods, however, we recommend exercising caution when closing.
  • High Pressure - Intended for use with heavy aftermarket steel hoods. These hoods are aftermarket OE replicas often found on cars that may have had an accident in the past and been rebuilt with non-OE grade parts. These struts should never be used on carbon fiber or fiberglass hoods.

Each kit includes:

  • 2 - Z1 Hood Struts
  • 2 - Lower Mounting ball studs (with captive washer)
  • 2 - Hood Mounting Brackets
  • 2 - Lower Mounting Brackets
  • Installation Instructions

Each kit is covered by a one-year warranty.

Fits:

  • 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX (Z32)

Nice, way better than the old prop rod. Keeps the hood open to the service position.

Work's great, If I had to change anything, using the OEM Hood. I would have ordered the slightly more expensive version that offers a more beffy Strut. With this version, I have to manually support the lift until it's about 50ish percent open, then it fully opens automatically. At first, I was very impressed, then I realized if I went a little bigger, I could have potentially had unsupported lift from about 20-30ish percent witch would have been even more impressive!

Give your ,300zx some modern tech upgrades these modern hood struts kit fit perfectly in your 300zx no modification necessary what's awesome is u pop the hood open and boom that hood lifts all by itself making and giving your ,300zx a modern look but maintaining its uniqueness when u want something to standout from most modern cars these hood struts are a way to show the 300zx was ahead of its time

A great upgrade over the stock prop. These allow the hood to open quite a bit higher than stock, thus giving you more room to work on the engine all without having a hood prop right in the middle of your way. Installation was fairly straight forward, however I did run into an issue using my stock hardware on the driver's side. The instructions don't seem to take into account that there are two brackets sitting under the fuel filter, not just one. The second one drops down into the engine bay and holds a cable in place. That being the case, the factory bolts are not long enough to mount this kit in place with that extra bracket. Fortunately, I had a couple of longer bolts lying around that I was able to use to make it work but I wish Z1 would have added the longer bolts in with the kit for those of us with that issue. Overall, it's a great kit that makes a huge improvement. Just be aware that you might need longer bolts to get the job done!

Anyone who's doing work on their car with a hood prop should realize the error of their ways and quickly replace it. This strut kit lifts the hood as high as you could possibly want and gets it completely out of the way. Replacing cylinder 5 and 6 spark plugs is a breeze now, and every other task gets completed with all of the light from the garage shining directly into the engine bay. Buy this kit now!

Just like the rear struts, these had great directions and were cleverly designed to fit like OEM.

Perfect fitment but challenging install on one side due to the retaining clip orientation.

Great addition to my 1990 Z32. Had an issue with one of the struts in my first order but Z1 immediately sent me a new set and I’m really happy with them. They make working under the hood much easier because the hood is raised much higher than OE hood support without the intrusion the support itself.

Great enhancement that makes working in the engine bay much easier. Installation was straightforward but would have appreciated a printed set of instructions rather than the QR code phone version.

I love these. Should have gotten them sooner. Very cleanly designed and hold the hood at a nice, high height. Not having to navigate around the hood prop is a huge plus. Furthermore, Z1 has really come a long way in their packaging - keep up the good work, guys!

The hood struts are super easy to install! And are a really good quality. The mounting brackets are well made and made the install that much easier. It was my first modification to my 300z since purchasing the car. Really happy and satisfied customer. Would recommend these hood struts and will purchase other products from Z1. Thanks, Milton

Easy to install, the rubber feet under the mounting brackets is a great feature to prevent rubbing. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the kit. I also have the brake master cylinder brace on the driver side and it all fit without issues.

11-27-22 😁 These are excellent quality a wonderful addition to the EXCELLENT hatch struts that I replaced a couple years ago. They are such excellent quality & work so well that I replaced from another poor quality vendor. That’s when I realized that Z1 knew the need first quality for this product to be available & many more products that I have purchased since then. I believe that all older models of Z’s, the interest & parts demand will increase substantially. Thank you Z1! 😁

Easy to install with good instructions. Definitely gives the Z32 a distinct look at car shows. Only complaints are that the angle is VERY steep as others noted, so it's a shame there isn't a lower rise option. Also found that while 3/4 of the pop joints fit fine, one required a vise to snap-in, which shouldn't be necessary.

Works great. Love it. My only heads up is the height of aftermarket battery’s. I have a JDM and an AGM battery. “My passenger side” strut was trying to occupy the same space as the corner of my battery. I pushed the battery toward the firewall and middle of the car. Up on the edge of the tray. The strut now clears the battery.
