Fitment questions
Does the Nissan 350Z actually have bonnet struts, or does it use a prop rod?
The Nissan 350Z uses gas-charged bonnet struts rather than a prop rod, so this is a genuine part on the car. There are two struts, one on each side, which hold the bonnet open when you are working on the engine. If you are searching for this part, you are looking in the right place.
Will a bonnet strut from an early 350Z (2003–2005) fit a later 350Z (2006–2009)?
The 350Z ran from 2003 to 2009 in the UK, with a facelift arriving around 2006 that brought changes to the front-end styling including the bonnet and surrounding panels. Because the facelift boundary is the key question for bonnet-related parts, you should confirm with the breaker whether the strut from a pre-facelift car will interchange with a post-facelift one, quoting your registration so they can check against their stock.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need — for example, does a GT or Touring spec use a different part?
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the 350Z — the struts are dictated by the generation and facelift period, not by whether the car is a base, GT, or Touring specification. You may find cosmetic differences around the engine bay trim on higher-spec cars, but the strut itself is the same. Any 350Z of the matching facelift period should use the same strut regardless of trim.
Does the engine variant matter — will a strut from a standard 350Z fit my car if the donor has a different exhaust or tune?
Engine specification, state of tune, and exhaust setup make no difference to bonnet strut fitment on the 350Z. The strut is a front-bodywork component and is shared across all engine variants within the same generation and facelift period. Simply match the year range and confirm pre- or post-facelift with the breaker.
I have a 2007 350Z — which year-range cars should I be asking breakers about when sourcing a bonnet strut?
A 2007 350Z sits within the post-facelift period of the model (broadly 2006–2009), so you should ask breakers for a strut from another post-facelift 350Z. It is worth confirming the facelift boundary directly with the breaker against your registration, as production changes do not always fall neatly on calendar years. Avoid assuming a strut from a 2003–2005 pre-facelift car will drop straight in without checking.
Is the bonnet strut on the NS (nearside) and OS (offside) the same part, or do I need to specify which side?
On the Nissan 350Z the two bonnet struts are typically handed, meaning the nearside and offside struts differ in their mounting orientation. When contacting a breaker, specify which side you need — NS (nearside, left-hand side as you sit in the car) or OS (offside, right-hand side) — to make sure you get the correct one. A good breaker will confirm this against their dismantled car before sending the part.
