Part #:34-1173
Price: $14.95
See Description.
Supercedes to 34-1179.

Includes:
  • (1) Hood Height Adjuster
  • (1) Hood Height Adjuster Jam Nut*

Description:
This is the genuine, original equipment (OEM) threaded post with the round rubber bumper on either side of the cowl weatherstrip that supports the hood when it is closed. It is also used to adjust the closed height of the hood so that it sits level with the cowl panel. Sold individually; 2 required per vehicle.

*Supercession Note:
Hood Height Adjusters use a jam nut to lock the height setting in place after installation and adjustment. The original 240Z height adjuster included a replacement nut; however, Nissan has since discontinued the 240Z adjusters. The jam nut is not included with the 280ZX version of the bumper that replaces the 240Z adjusters; see 14-1365 in Related Items for a replacement.

Supercessions:
This part number is 'superceded'. Most of our supercessions originated with Nissan. A part made for a Z31, for instance, may actually be the same as the part made for the Z32, but it was given a different number. Nissan would then later supercede the number, so that if you ordered the part number for the Z32, what you would actually get is the original part number for the Z31 (or vice-versa), as they are the same part. Other times, supercessions can exist between different parts on the same car, as is often the case with hardware of the same size. These supercessions were Nissan decisions, where replacing the 'superceded from' part with the 'superceded to' part results in identical performance. The vast majority of them are simple numbering changes, where the parts are literally identical. In some cases, the two parts are identical in fit and function, but the finish is slightly different, or the non-critical overall dimensions are slightly different (like one starter housing being '' shorter than the other on the non-attached side). They do not affect the function of the part, and in many cases, the 'superceded-to' part improves upon the 'superceded-from' part.
