fairladyz2013 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Welcome I had the same with the struts.. Replaced mine with sgs engineering ones for I think £50-£60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.hezlett Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Welcome Mike. sgs-engineering.com provide struts which get excellent reviews here. Most people go for the unrated version for the small difference in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.hezlett Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sorry. Last post should read updated not unrated. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Removing the counter weight is a no-cost option, you might wish to try first see pic/advice here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ight-too-heavy/ If you have a larger than standard spoiler on the bootlid that will cause the problem and the weight removal is really a must, but we have seen enough posts to know the struts get tired and either replacement or re-gas should do the trick.

Sam Mcgoo Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Welcome to the club. I also recommend SGS struts. Have them fitted to mine and have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boot struts dont hold the boot up and I do have a heavy spoiler on it... never realized you could remove the weights.... That link and every link I have googled for some reason says I do not have permission to view the page.... is it in a secret forum or something!?

bamdc2 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome! SGS shipped mine super fast, got them next day. Just get some mates to help you fit them as the boot weighs about 7 tonnes when you remove the struts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
