Anyone seen these hood risers & know how to get them down. Spun the Z on wet roads and caught back wheel on curb. These popped the hood open - can’t open or close hood

Maybe this video from Malaysia would help. Poor resolution.

In short, you can remove them to close the hood as a temp fix.
To fix, maybe a dealer visit and/or insurance claim if applicable.

@Marshall58of240 hate to see this happened to you. are you running the factory tires? those seem to spin out on dry roads, probably worse in wet conditions.

meantion to the dealer that nearly every review on the Z the tires said be an issue. maybe the dealership can help you out.

I have no idea but maybe the dealer would know?

So, how would a rear end collision affect the hood???

 

[Marshall58of240]

No collision- no body damage at all - spun it - went back wards into grass - might have popped edge of curb - car seems to drive fine but with hood popped i obviously can’t get up to any speed - it’s going to Nissan tomorrow

Yep that’s it - and it looks like they must be replaced not reset - I’ll take this info to dealer - chances are no parts availability - could be months to get them in.

To OP, if the front end was not hit, then, it could be a warranty repair.... you can argue that.
That's Donalex's point, I believe.

The video said, it was "rebuilt"... the parts they used.

Did any of the prior Zs - Z34, Z33... - have these? I doubt it. Any other current Nissan/Infiniti? This is not good for any intending to be tracked. Sometimes things happen, like spins onto dirt, hitting curbing, even bumping others unintentionally of course, what about towing situations? I wonder if they can be removed without any SES lighting up? That I'd prefer to do, disable it completely. Then not sure about any warranty issues. Dumb safety feature.

looks like it's already a thing for the R35, so should be straighforward to deactivate

Sure seems it will work, nothing conclusive on that thread, though. And nothing about insurance claims either. More info would help, I'll search too.

Your wallet is going to hurt.
Looks like the actuators are $1204.78 each.
Hopefully that's all it is. Only thing that's concerning are the yellow cables. Yellow is part of the restraint system. A lot of times, if an airbag blows, other parts need to be changed.

I would not be surprised if the book says hood, hinges and/or diagnostic unit has to be changed.

Insurance might cover this.

Some older GM cars use to blow airbags when coming out of driveways/parking lots and bottoming out on the street. I've seen insurance cover it.

Now you mention this….it makes me a little concerned that just a bump could do this.
We have massive speed bumps all over the place. If a bump is all it takes it’s a worry. If more than a bump is necessary then Nissan should pay
