HoodTech were brilliant when I took it there last year - it's ran by a guy called Charlie. The issue that was causing the hood on my car to stick was the bungee straps, which I think someone else mentioned in this thread. He replaced those and that fixed the issue but he also replaced the 5th bow bungee as I decided to try and future proof it a bit. Fingers crossed, it's been great since (although I don't do that many miles in it)

Yeah I didn't get an exact figure but it sounded around that ball park price. I'll do a bit more research before I commit to it, but it might be worth it for peace of mind!

Hi all, just a quick update if anyone was interested. I dropped it off at Hoodtech today, Charlie there had a quick look before I Ieft and said the bungee straps were definitely an issue and would need replacing. I've left it there for a week so he's also going to check for any other issues. He also suggested some type of upgrade kit which would reduce the chance of the frame cracking in the future (although mine didn't specifically need that yet but it would give peace of mind for the future) I'll be in touch with him again next week so I can keep this thread updated 👍

Thank you! just sent you a message if you don't mind. Much appreciated

Thank you! I hadn't considered using ebay for a second hand shock absorber tbh, but for the time being its better than waiting 5 weeks!

Hi, my 370z roadster has just failed an MOT due to a leaky shock absorber (front, right) but the garage are struggling to source a part - 5 weeks from Nissan Does anyone happen to have this part for sale? Thanks in advance!

Yes, will do, thanks!

@pintopete58 yes, will do, I'd settle for £695 now to be honest!

@Alfie370Z thank you, I've been in touch with hoodtech and looking to arrange for them to have a look over it for me

@Alfie370Z hi, have you used hoodtech's services previously? I'm starting to have have a couple of issues with the roof on the 370 so looking for recommendations as to where I can go for someone to have a look at it for me, thanks in advance!

Brill, thanks for the advice all 👍

Brill thank you That’s a useful tip thanks, I had searched using the sites search function but that definitely didn’t return as many threads as using google 👍

Hi all, I’ve paid a deposit on an 11 plate 370z roadster (auto) with 19k miles on the clock. This will be my first Z and I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of it. I’m looking to go and test drive the car on Monday ahead of purchasing it. With the car at that age and mileage, is the gallery gasket something I should already be considering? also, any suggestions on what to look out for while test driving? any advice is hugely appreciated!!
