Air Shocks For Bonnet

[tyaos]

hi guys

has anyone installed the air shocks underneath the bonnet to open the bonnet?

if any, where did you get one?

and does it easy to install? just screw them?

cheers guys

Im sure autobahn etc sell them.. they are called gas struts .. they use a bolt on ball and arm configuration that works similar to your hip joint where a ball rotates in a socket to allow movement..

You will need fairly strong ones to hold up that stock bonnet.. fibreglass is another story

hope that helps

Tein sell them as a kit, however some people have made their own, there is a thread regarding these in the Fabrication section if your handy and want to make some yourself.

cheers guys

im going to change to fibre glass bonnet anyway...

but i think stronger is better... isnt it?lol

cheer!!!

[DECIM8]

depends if you like being cracked in the head via it opening .. yes strong is good but not strongest.. let us know how u go though would be interesting to see... easy install just check your boot ones and then link it to the front

Sounds like a very handy mod to do, i hate lifting that pole up, and always worried about knocking it, or the wind catching the bonnet.

[Craved]

if the gas struts are too strong then you will crack your bonnet when trying to close it (fibreglass and carbon bonnets only)

yeah, and when you open it, it'll smack you on the chin.

lol ok... i couldnt find anyplace sell the gas strut for R34... anyway... i think i have to try any gas strut to fit on my bonnet... as well as my boots....

boot's gas strut is very weak... better change..

Do TEIN sell these for the R34 GTT as well?

I thought it was just for the GTR's which have a lighter bonnet

Cant seem to find the GTT one.

Maybe i'll just get a CF bonnet...save weight...
