Fitment questions
Does the Nissan 370Z actually use bonnet struts or a bonnet stay rod?
The 370Z uses a traditional bonnet stay rod (a simple metal prop rod) to hold the bonnet open, not gas-filled bonnet struts. This means there are no bonnet struts to source for this model. If your bonnet won't stay up, you are most likely looking for a replacement stay rod or its mounting clip, not a strut.
I've been told to get a bonnet strut for my 370Z - could the seller mean something else?
It's a common mix-up in parts listings - the 370Z has a manual prop rod rather than pneumatic gas struts, so any listing for a '370Z bonnet strut' is likely mislabelled or referring to the stay rod itself. Double-check the listing with the breaker and confirm they are describing a rigid metal stay rod, not a gas-pressurised strut. If you have an aftermarket bonnet fitted, it's worth confirming with the seller whether a conversion to gas struts has been made, as some aftermarket bonnets are supplied with strut kits.
Could the 370Z facelift (2013 onwards) have introduced bonnet struts when the pre-facelift didn't?
No - the 370Z facelift, which updated the front end from around 2013, did not introduce gas bonnet struts; the prop rod arrangement carried through the entire production run from 2009 to 2021. Both pre-facelift and facelift cars use the same style of manual stay rod to prop the bonnet open. You do not need to search for struts on either generation.
Does it matter whether I have a GT, GT Edition or Nismo trim when looking for the bonnet stay rod?
Trim level does not affect the type of bonnet support mechanism on the 370Z - all variants including GT, GT Edition and Nismo use the same prop rod design. The Nismo model does have a slightly different bonnet with its own styling, so confirm the stay rod and any clips are taken from the same variant as yours if you want a guaranteed fit. Either way, no trim level on the 370Z came with gas bonnet struts.
What should I actually search for on Findapart if my 370Z bonnet won't stay up?
Search for 'Nissan 370Z bonnet stay rod' or 'bonnet prop rod' when contacting breakers through Findapart, and mention your exact year so they can confirm which bonnet variant they have. If the rod itself is fine but the bonnet drops, the retaining clip or grommets at either end are often the culprit and are worth asking about separately. A good breaker will be able to confirm which part of the stay mechanism is typically worn on this model.
