370z TOPSECRET Japan Pop-Up hood system cancellers

The Nissan 370z in United Kingdom comes with a Pop-Up Hood pedestrian protection system.

When the car hits a pedestrian, three sensors in the front bumper signal the pop-up control unit, which judges its necessity, will trigger the two explosive actuators under the bonnet that pop the bonnet up so that the pedestrian doesn't hit his head on the engine block.

When this happens, beside the bonnet, front bumper, headlights etc, the following parts need replacing at a minimum:

Actuator - 1 x B5345-1EK1A = £955.90
Actuator - 1 x B5344-1EK1A = £955.90
Controller - 1 x 25348-6GA0A = £856.47
Hinge - 1 x 65401 x 1EK3A = £171.52
Hinge - 1 x 65400 x 1EK3A = £171.52
TOTAL = £3111.26

The Endless PopUp Hood system cancellers can disable the system for special situations like track days. The same cancellers are largely used in the GT-R R35 world, where the above parts are even more expensive.

Note: This system can be illegal for road cars and can also invalidate your insurance policy.
