g35 doesn't have hood dampers

I know there are some G35 posts on other forums saying how their trunk struts went out and they went to NAPA to find an alternative, which turned out to work just as well. I'm hoping we can do the same for our hood struts. $104 per strut, that's definitely on the higher end (heck, I even read Porsche hood struts are like half the price).

Hood dampers are not something I'd ever buy used unless I personally knew their history. They'd have to be pretty new. Maybe it's just because I tend to work under the hood and check things more than the average owner, but I've never had luck with OEM Nissan/Infiniti hood dampers lasting more than a 4 or 5 years at most. And the aftermarket replacement ones I've gotten for various cars were hit or miss. Some lasted as long s 2 years. Some 6 months. Mine on my 08 need replacement now. I guess 5.5 years is as much as I should expect.

Thx guys, I guess I will search around some more. I'm with BB on not getting used ones. It's not high on my priority list but it just bugs me that I have to put a stick to support it everytime I pop the hood.

Hoods not gonna hit you with those vice grips clamped onto the damper plunger

I have a cheaper solution for you which I may be doing myself too.

Drill a small hole right under the piston of the hood damper and stick and rod there when you want to keep it open.
