Z1 Upgraded 350Z Hatch Struts

starstarstarstarstar_half 4.9/5 - (155 Reviews)
Fits models: 350Z...

Product Description

Z1 Upgraded Hatch Struts are a great solution for your old worn out ones.  These high quality kits are now available in 3 different strengths Mild High Pressure (MHP), High Pressure (HP), or Ultra High Pressure (UHP) upgraded replacements. 

Each kit includes a new pair of upgraded hatch struts with socket ends, ball studs with retainer locks, and new lower mounting plates with ball studs. 

No Cutting required!  Install in minutes, just transfer over your bolts from your old lower mounting plates and install the new mounting plates, thread in the new upper ball stud with the strut and snap the lower strut socket into place.  Install the lower retainer lock and you are all set. You won't have to worry about your hatch falling on your head anymore. 

Our new Mild High Pressure Units (MHP) are great for cars without spoilers or the stock standard spoiler, while still being stronger than stock they are the lowest pressure we offer and closest to stock strength.  The High Pressure (HP) units are great for almost every application, they are substantially stronger than the originals and will support most large aftermarket spoilers or just be strong for a standard application.  The upgrade to the Ultra High Pressure (UHP) units offer maximum added lift support for the Largest heavier aftermarket spoilers, or just a workout for those looking for it.

Available in MHPHP or UHP for your 350Z. 

Each set comes with an 18 month warranty

View our detailed Installation Manual HERE.

  *Please note;  These hatch struts are stronger and intended as an upgrade to the stock units, not just a standard replacement.  Upgraded MHP & HP hatch struts will require a little more effort to close the hatch if a heavier spoiler is not in place, while UHP units will require a notable amount of effort to close the hatch if a heavier spoiler is not in place.

Questions our customers have asked

Is it $68.00 for a pair or one thx Don
These are sold as a pair with hardware.
what's the $5.00 for ? Don
For the pressure option upgrade.
Is the price for one strut or for two. Why are the originals marked right on one and left on the other. Do you offer one for the right shock and another for the left shock? My Z is 2005 Anniversary model with the standard spoiler. Please advise Thanks Noel Grady
This price is for the pair with brackets. The struts can be used for either side. Regards, The Z1 Team

Last time i bought some cheap ones that required you to pull the hatch open, with alot of force….and i mean all the way up. These are great and seem worth the money. You just start to open that hatch and then it goes up on its own. I got the medium pressure ones. Requires a little extra force to close, but nothing crazy. Im happy with then.

Parts seem to be high quality, install a piece of cake, fast shipping. Only thing is I wish they provided replacement gaskets for the hardware, but not a big deal as my factory gaskets were fine. For those purchasing - the pressure on the "HP" version is significant, IE it takes a lot of force to close the hatch. Like a lot. An elderly person probably couldn't physically close the hatch because there is so much pressure. For most folks I would probably recommend spending an extra $5.00 for the MHP version. But one thing is for sure, my hatch is definitely not closing on its own anymore!!! Thanks Z1, only knocking a star because the gaskets aren't included.

Super strong struts, when you first put them on it’s gonna be hard to close your hatch. But i have a wing on my hatch that’s really heavy and these struts hold the hatch up and take it up when i open it, no problem. Easy install took 5 mins definitely start with the connections on the hatch first than the ones on the car.

Fit perfectly. Require minimal excess effort compared to oem to close. If you don’t want your hatch to hit you in the head, especially in the winter when the seals shrink, these are a must.

Solid replacement over OEM. Definitely need man strength closing the hatch. Word of advice, don't let hatch open on it's own, use hands as it comes up. HP Shocks are very strong, it slams the hatch up, if leaving it to come up on it's own. The installation is a breeze BUT the upper strut was no aligned with the Ball head on both shocks. Couldn't use my hand to twist it into position so had to use my 12mm wrench to adjust the upper struts position so it can snap into the upper ball head. Basically, both were facing in opposite direction of the upper ball head. I though it was a defect but took me about 10 extra mins to figure that out. lol. Overall Happy with the product.

These are great. Definitely stronger than stock. If you don't have a wing, do not get higher than the HP. Purchased the HP's and could not be happier. Z1 shipped quickly and threw in some great decals, which for sure add at least 5hp lol Z1 will be my go to for Z parts. Thanks to all at Z1!

5/5. hold my heavy wing up no problem, i should watched a tutorial first because when i was lifting my hatch i lifted it too high to install these and i ended up bending the top of the hatch where it connects to the A pillars, so definitely watch out for that.

Nice and strong replacement for my OEM struts. I don't have a wing yet so I cannot speak to them holding a wing but much better than having to prop my hatch with a 2x4. Will be replacing the poppers next since those just went out.

Just installed them it took less than 20 mins. Bought the uhp and it works extremely well. I used to have to hold up my trunk with my aftermarket spoiler while trying to grab what I needed and it was a hassle. Now with the new ones it basically lifts itself up and holds up very very well. 10/10

My OEM struts were close to being completely done for. Depending on the weather, the hatch would start dropping on my brain helmet which doesn't feel great. I purchased the HP (High pressure) option and wow..It's a workout compared to my worn out stock struts. Once I got use to the difference, absolutely love them. I then later I purchased the new Rear Hatch Bumper / Lift Springs as I had to push the hatch button multiple times on several occasions. Brand new trunk now :) Fantastic purchase to protect your brain helmet.

I got the extra power because I wanted my struts to pop up by themselves. Needless to say these struts gave me perfect reason to get a big wing. If you’re running stock, stick with the normal hatch replacements, unless you want to get a work out every time you close your hatch. These were easy to put on, even when having to take off aftermarket struts from the previous owner. 10/10 recommend.
starstarstarstarstar
Zac
November 20, 2021
Old struts started to fail to the point where it would fall down and the ring on the back would hit my spine and overall not be pleasant. If you have an older 350Z this is the best value. Just make sure to get Mild High Pressure (MHP) if you're running everything stock and don't have a massive wing. I'm above average in terms of height and weight and even I have to put a little extra elbow grease to pull it down. But now I am 100% confident I won't get bonked on the head or the spine with these. Good product.

Giving it 4 stars because it lives up to its name. These are definitely Ultra high pressure struts. It requires a lot of force to push down, might not be for everyone. I can’t give it 5 stars since I haven’t own them long enough to know their longevity.

Installed within 10 min, I bought the Mild High Pressure and with 1 pump only, it could hold the 350z hatch for a few minutes, and we all know how heavy the 350z hatch is. All and all these struts are a bit more powerfull and much more durable then the stock/OEM struts.

WOW! they are strong and fast to lift, thank you.

Seems like great construction and really holds it open at full open, my only issue is that when electric or manual trunk open is pressed they are not strong enough to unlock the mechanism, So you have to hit the button several times while assisting to get the thing to start opening. MHP ordered with no spoiler

OEM hatch struts were worthless and dangerous as the hatch would slam shut on it's own. Z1 struts are great! When I start to open the hatch the struts finish the job and do not fail and drop closed. Better than home cooking!

After install, I was very happy with the strength of the struts, but I did notice something odd. Once the hatch reaches the full height I kept hearing a clunking sound. I noticed that the passenger side strut was the culprit. It seems to have the smallest amount of play between the shaft and the housing at full extension, and that is what’s making the sound. I did reach out to Z1, and I was told that this is not normal, but there hasn’t been any offer to replace the strut.

Love these struts. Easy to install and holds the hatch up just fine. It takes a little muscle to close at first due to fresh install, but after a few uses it takes less effort. If they ever wear out I will definitely purchase them again!

Bought to replace my blown oem struts, install was easy with easy to understand instructions. I don't have any spoiler on my car and the HP struts I ordered due to living in a colder location are definitely more than I needed, if I would purchase again I'd get the MHP ones instead. Regardless great product, very happy with it.

Honestly, if you have the factory lip spoiler, the MHP may be best. But I've had the HP on my hatch for about a year and it absolutely doesn't disappoint! Great one arm workout everytime! I couldn't imagine the next level struts...

Definitely considerably stronger than the OEM struts. (HP version bought). Makes it so once I press the release I can lift it just an inch or so and it opens by itself, and then I get a nice workout closing it. I can only imagine how ridiculous the next step up is. Gone are the days where my hatch drops on my head just when I think it was going to stay up.

These struts are as advertised: UPGRADED. I've had the HP struts on for about a month and since owning my Z, I've never seen my hatch open itself until now! These are basically a NECESSITY to not having your hatch fall on your back! Install was super easy except when you have one strut off and the hatch just wants to drop it like it hot. Highly recommended!

My first experience with Z1 Motorsports. I originally purchased a set of $22 hatch struts from a vendor on Ebay. What a waste of time and money! After researching Z1 Motorsport and watching an online installation, I purchased the Z1 upgraded 350Z Hatch Struts. Installation took less time than it took to find my metric socket wrench. What a difference a quality parts make. The hatch goes up gently by itself and closes with ease. Thank you Z1 Motorsports.....

I got the regular high pressure (HP) and they are WAY stronger than the stock struts. I'm not exactly a big guy, but I have to darn near hop up to get it closed. I couldn't imagine what the UHP's are like. That being said, it feels like a really solid closure and I like the product. No real need to watch install video, even though it is a good video. Install is pretty striaght forward. If you can't figure it out when you are working on one, just look over to the other for an example.

In Australia, it is almost impossible to get good aftermarket Z products at anything close to a reasonable price. My hatch struts have been failing for 12+ months (at 140,000kms or 87000 miles) and I haven't replaced them because OEM are $350+ here. I came across these on Z1 and decided to bite the bullet and order from the USA instead, since I'm sick of the hatch falling on me (its winter here and the old struts get much worse in the cold). Ordered on Monday delivered 4 days later, half way across the world! Installation was a breeze - took me 10 minutes and a helper to hold the (very heavy) hatch open. Only needed 2 tools (12mm open spanner and 10mm socket + ratchet) and now the hatch opens much better and stays open. The HP struts take a little more effort to close, but this girl can still close it 1 handed (no aftermarket spoiler or hatch mods). Definitely glad I found you guys at Z1, and anyone with the same annoying Z hatch issues should definitely give these a go before throwing your money at Nissans well overpriced parts.

Shanna's video made the installation process really easy since I'm a visual learner. The HP pressure is solid for a 350z without a spoiler like my 07'. I can see the HP pressure level being harder for someone who is on the smaller side to push down and it's definitely stiffer than the stock. I'm 5'10 170 lbs and this stiffness was fine for me but I definitely feel it. Someone on the shorter side might have trouble getting leverage when closing the hatch and I'd recommend the lowest pressure struts for them. 5/5 for now and will update review later in 2017 on how they hold up.

Very satisfied with these. Apparently the stock struts are terrible since I see so many people buying these. These z1 struts are the answer you're looking for... when you install them, make sure you GENTLY set your hatch down to test them for proper placement first... if the hatch won't shut easily, it is because you have the brackets upside down. Just flip them and you're all set! I made that mistake and made a 5 minutes job a 30 minutes job. They are simple to install when done properly though! Get them!

Super easy to install and so far seems to be a great product. Once lifted manually about 4 inches, the new struts take over and lift the hatch for you. One problem I experienced was that my oem screws for the oem ball joint at the top were really IN THERE. I would recommend hitting them with some penetrating oil before trying to remove them. Great product z1!!!

I received the MHP struts for my wife's 2006 350Z since it had no spoiler and these are definitely stronger struts but by no means are they too strong. Very happy with the product and also with the response time it took for delivery. Installation was very simple only taking between 5/10 minutes. Took me longer to gather my tools than doing the job.

First of all, great experience from Z1. Quality packaging, product and instructions. I purchased the HP struts for my Z without a spoiler. The Struts will lift the hatch automatically after manually lifting it a couple inches. I think I would have preferred the MHP struts since it's a bit difficult to close the hatch. I thought at first I had them installed improperly because the hatch wouldn't close, but I soon realized it just needed a lot of force to pull it shut. With that said, I would recommend the MHP struts for anyone without spoiler; however, I'm not sure the MHP are strong enough to automatically lift the hatch. So if that is what you're after, go with the HP.

Great struts! I dynamatted the top of my hatch, and the HP ones were perfect. Side note: Great install video. Before you install them, hit the top screw on your hatch with some PB Blaster a few times every hour to loosen it up. Both of mine were stuck. Stuck real good.

I recently installed the HP hatch struts on my 350z and was impressed by the kit, instructions and quality of the parts. Even the ball sockets were pre-greased and all fit just fine. I did consider some cheaper struts offered on ebay, but decided to go with Z1 due all of the positive comments relative to this vendor on My350Z.com.

I installed the UHP versions today and it took maybe 15 minutes. I figured I only needed the HP version because the aftermarket Nismo spoiler isn't THAT heavy, but it was enough weight that the stock Struts wouldn't hold the hatch up. I ordered the UHP though because both models had been back ordered for a while and the UHP was available first. Taking golf clubs in and out while trying to open and hold the hatch open was losing its fun. The hatch opened fairly normally after installing just the first Strut, with one of the original struts still in place. So I went "All In" and did the second UHP strut and it opens like a dream, but it does take more force to pull it down. Once you pull down about half way it softy shuts perfectly. Mentioning the force to close is not a knock on the product, the product is fantastic, easy to install, and had instructions with pictures. They mention the force to close as well and I'm the impatient guy who couldn't wait for the HPs. I guess I'm just trying to say, that if you're struggling to decide between HP and UHP, if you have the aftermarket Nismo spoiler (or something close in weight) ONE UHP and the stock strut will hold the hatch open with no worries, just to give you a frame of reference. EVERY TIME I have ordered something from Z1 the experience has been stellar-

Just what my 03 Z needed! Now i don't have to hold the hatch up with my head! One of these baby's is enough to hold the whole hatch up by itself! I ended up just replacing one because its even hard to close with just that and the worn stock strut. Saving the other one for later incase i need it (cant imagine why) Super easy installation, took about 5 minutes. 03 350Z (Touring)

I purchased the HP version of these struts to replace the worn out ones on my 04.5. Just installed them today. Installation could not have been easier. Fitment is perfect. Functionality seems great so far. Hatch takes noticeably more effort to close, but then that is the whole point. I suspect these would hold up even larger wings, and all but maybe a hatch with a sizeable wing and additional added weight from something like sound dampening. Fast shipping, good product, great price, detailed instructions... what more could you ask for?
