Installation Notes
Most owners fit a Nitro Struts conversion kit in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. The kit is fully bolt-on — no drilling, no modifications. Park on level ground, follow the included instructions step-by-step, and have a second person support the panel during bracket installation if you can. The factory prop rod can be left in place as a backup or removed entirely once the kit is in.
Why Fit This Kit
- You're sick of fighting with the factory prop rod every service
- The prop rod has slipped and dropped the bonnet on you (or your tools)
- You want clear, hands-free access for engine bay work
- You're upgrading the look and feel of your engine bay

Press in studs are useless, directions wrong, 11.5mm drill too big had to make acces to fit nut on ball head bolt. Made it work but took hours of work, overall good product, but fitting is difficult.
I found the fitting instructions had some typos were hard to follow. A quick call to Nitrolift sorted them out though.
The smaller ball and socket on the lower drivers side strut is loose in its socket but is currently working as designed.
The struts are very effective at lifting the bonnet and holding it in place when I need to check fluids and battery levels etc. Overall I am most happy with your products and pleased to be able to purchase Australian. Thanks guys!
