Q: Is it necessary to remove the hood for servicing the Nissan 300ZX while desiring extra headroom?A: One might not require the hood to be detached for servicing the car while at the same time, having more head space as it is built with an added ability to open wider in the process. Another person should hold the hood up as the two bolts fixing the hydraulic stays are kindly removed. After lifting the hood even more, other bolts can be fit into the groves that are placed underneath the standard screw outlets. Some care is recommended to avoid damaging the stays, for example, they should not be closed along with the hood. After that servicing is done, the assistant should hold the hood to provide adequate support while the hydraulic stay bolts are withdrawn to enable the assistant lower the hood to lock the bolts into their respective slots.
