KurtB Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Morning, Done a quick search and couldn't really find anything, has anyone had any experience with these? http://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate/nissan/350z/nl1750-uprated-nissan-350z-tailgate-boot-strut Are they any good? Or are there other brands which work better? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenobi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) SGS stuff is very good, I bought replacement struts for my old Mondeo from them and they worked really well, also bought my low profile trolley jack from them and I can't rate that highly enough.

glrnet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Had an excellent service from SGS as many others have but mainly for rear struts. If you are in doubt email them for help and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks for the fast replies, thats encouraging then! I've had enough of being attacked by the boot on cold and windy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes I fitted them last year and they are perfect. You need to get the up-rated ones for a spoiler and you need a pair, very easy to job to fit. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedon Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I'd second that. Good quality for around the same price I was given for a second hand set from a breakers yard! Easy to fit, although if you're replacing the originals you'll need to remove the old brackets from the body. Simple enough but you may need an adjustable spanner to fit around the base of the ball joint, if you follow me.

gsexr Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep i got some of those. I got the standard ones for a standard hatch and they are fine but if i was doing it again i would go for the uprated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Awesome, that's good to hear. Yeah I think I will spend the extra on the uprated ones, that Nismo spoiler is a heavy lump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of money fitting standard ones if you have a Nismo spoiler. You have to fit the up-rated one's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtB Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Just noticed that they do bulk pricing, may be worth seeing if there are any people interested in getting them? Has a similar thing been done on here with SGS before? Not a major issue as they seem reasonably priced, just seeing as grundy is after them too!
