You need to be with a Motorsports Tasmania affiliated club to get in for $55.00.

Do you have some pic's of the turbine end? Thanks.

Nah, It didn't bother me it's more fun chasing, you try a little harder

Well, when you grouped with a couple of GTR's I thought I'd better do something half respectable , cause I knew I wouldn't keep up with them.

It was a good day! Improved my time 2 sec from last year, so I was happy. Just a tad cold though.

Do you have any pic's

Sorry for the wrong sign in, it is my son's. I'm asking the questions.

Thanks, will you have pic's up soon?

Does it have weather shields?

Look forward to list and pictures!

The FAQ link isn't working. Is this due to the site migration?

The Bosch Z32 AFM still has the Nissan (JECS) part # on it (22680 30P00 A36-000 N62) and the Bosch part # is on the box (F00E000202).

Sorry, sold it yesterday on ebay.

When I priced one here a couple of weeks ago, the Bosch Z32 AFM was actually dearer than the Nissan one by nearly $40.00.

I have one, I've done a few around here.

Try this place, they are in Melb. They make and sell struts for OEM's (Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota etc). They supply the company I work for as well. Visit the web site, heaps of good info! www.stabilus.com.au

O/K I see. That setup would require a realitively high pressure strut to work at such a tight angle, unless the bonnet fibreglas or simmilar. I took the measurements for mine off a Camry (distance from pivot points etc)

Guard bolts are 6mm, how were you going to do this? If you were going to screw the strut ball in to one of these the strut wouldn't swivel enough to raise the bonnet. Just curious.

What size thread are you after? All the automotive struts are 8mm thread, you really wouldn't want to go any smaller. Bonnets are quite heavy and at the geometrey the strut are at there's alot of weight on the thread. Bursons and Repco sell the balls, but generally they should come with the struts.

There's a couple of reasons, 1- I think this looks more stock, if you look at alot of the factory setups they are all screwed into bonnets and guards, no brackets involved. 2- To manifactuce brackets as good as in the Tien kit can take alot of time and some fancy equipment, I did this at home and it only took around 4 hrs just taking it casual, it was easier in my opinion.

Any Z32's left?

Bonnet opens further than using the pole, no different than stock when closing, just let the bonnet go 250mm - 300mm from latch & it locks no problems.

Attached are some pic's. Drilled some 8mm clearance holes in the guards, cleaned up & painted. Got some 8mm panel washers then removed plastic inner guards, placed a 8mm nut & washer up inside the guard over the drilled hole then screwed in the ball end from the strut, tight! (this may sound straight forward, but it was a real pain in the arse! Specially if you have fat hands!) For the bonnet I got some 3mm x 12mm flat bar & drilled an 8mm clearance hole in the middle then got an 8mm nut & welded it on, drilled some 8mm clearance holes in the bonnet, cleaned up & painted the bits & holes. I used a telescopic magnet to lower the flat bar bits through the large hole in the side of the bonnet until it lined up with the drilled holes (this was also fiddly!) then screwed the ball ends in nice & tight! To stop the F/B from falling if ever I undid or if it can loose, I drilled a couple of 1/8 holes & riveted in. Just a brief outline of what I did. Have some patience & it will look great & no more pole!!

Why not just machine what you have? Costs about $40.00.
