thezguy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Guys my cars front end is heavily modified. I have built everything around the stock hinges and clearances are very tight. Does anyone have photos of the different hinges and how they open? Do the g nose hinges do anything different besides open the hood further forward? I like the g nose hinges because they do no require locks\shocks To stay open. This is the style I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Does anyone have pictures of these mounted? http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt93862/pd2071655/_GNOSE_HINGES_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Most of the guys on this site think their front end has been heavily modified. That's why we can't come together, join hands and sing "Kumbaya" like my wife's coupon and recipe club. That was a joke, sorry, back to our regular programming.....

What I meant by front end is upper radiator support/intercooler etc. are all custom made and not factory. If the Gnose or zccjdm hinges differ from the factory hinges than I will have issues.

S30 SPL Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ^^^ Yep, that qualifies as modified. Nice snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's freakin awesome. Does the loss of the radiator support result in a noticeable loss of torsional strength? If not, I want to copy someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I want to copy someday. If you notice just behind the radiator there is in fact an upper radiator support. I made the support using tube steel and heim joints.

RebekahsZ Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah, I saw that. Looks great. I figured that gave some support in tension/compression but not torsional. Hey, if it works, I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
