Evo-R Hood Damper Install
 

Has anyone bought and installed these? The dampers seem to be too powerful and are torquing the mount on the fender side since there is only one screw that holds that mount on. Anyone else have this problem. I'll post pics at some point.

Here is the product:
The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: Hood Damper Kit, Black, 09-12 370Z

Yeah I just received mine and I didn't know there were going to be like this. This design is garbage. Need to find the ball screw style

Here the pictures. What is the ball screw style?

Here you can see where the mount starts to torque with the damper on. It left a little gash in the plastic.

Look up Modshack DIY version

I have the kelleyfields dampers and they are great!

Good workaround. It appears that the damper for that mount location requires a longer length. Mine appear shorter than the dampers in those pictures.

kelleyfields damper are awesome easy install and the work great.

i just installed these today on my Z and had the exact same issue...tightened them down as hard as i could and it stopped torquing the mount. felt like i was going to break my socket extension haha

Here is my on my Nismo. I had it on for over a year. No problem at all.

Maybe I just need to tighten them harder. I'll give it a try.

Let me know if tightening them down worked. I had the exact same problem you were having with them moving because there's just the one screw.

I even tried to call the company to see if I could return them, but they're German-made and I think it'd be impossible to return (kind of ticks me off, but hopefully tightening them will work).
