how to mod the boot gas strut in a way that it will allow shutting of the boot lid nicely rather than slamming shut????? i have handled cars with boot lid struts and bigger sized boot lids and it does not SLAMMMMMMM like how Persona's do.
Change the hydraulic suspenders.. And add a stopper..

and btw, to those who do mods to their Persona engine like exhaust or especially air intake to aftermarket, please be advised to "refresh" / "reset" your ECU by unplugging the battery and leave it disconnected for half an hour or more and plug it back in.
i myself first hand experienced it this month. I replaced the intake to aftermarket panel filter by Simota / Works Engineering and i did not really felt the difference. Soon, my car got more and more less responsive, less power and the automatic gearbox got very sluggish. My fuel consumption got from bad to worst. I then wondered what happened to it and tried to think of the possible causes.
I then figured, ok try "reset" the ecu by unplugging the battery terminal. Plugged it back more than an hour later, guess what? I got my car back! Now, i can just "tap" on the throttle to get moving and the car is light again. I got back the all the performance.
So........lesson learn!
Added on October 24, 2011, 1:37 pmyup. it does not need to be slammed. I am referring to as in you cannot close the boot lid without assisting it. meaning when its close to closing, need to hold it a bit and let go. Or else it will go banggggg!
Kinda suck if compared to other exact design boot lid with gas struts. Other makes i can just continue pushing the lid down from start to finish and it wont slam.
The ECU reset part is normal. Esp. if u mod extractor. U have to do it, & u have to clear the error codes. But most ppl Jz tend to ignore it until something happens.
