Bonnet wont shut

Been working on the Z and when finished noticed the bonnet was sitting about a 1/2 of an inch too high on the passenger front corner and then 1/4 on the drivers.
I have checked if there are any tools left behind. I have removed the center piece and checked if the bonnet latch is fully engaging. I have checked the bonnet latch if it has moved or if there is any downward movement left. I have used newspaper with the bonnet latched and slid it both ways from the latch with no obstructions.
It didnt do this yesterday...?
Have also checked if I may have damaged it or if it is warped, but the lines are all clean!
What adjustments if any are there...and why all of a sudden?

 

Did you jack it up from the front?

If you jack it up under the rad support it will bend it up and the bonnet won't shut properly.

 

O.K. maybe I did How do you un bend it?

 

Mine was like that when I got it. Since I've got everything off the front at the moment I just 'adjusted' the lower support with a sledge hammer

I've also fixed it on another zed by enlarging the holes on the latch and lowering it a few mm.

 

Yes, you need to jack it up at the cross member, not the radiator support :bash:

 

I know its bad, but I was in a hurry to check where the coolant leak was comming from...the split heater hose was the answer.
By the way, nissan wanted $140 and 4 days for the same heater hoses I got out of the USA delivered for $65 WTF

 

I think you need to see a panel beater

 

Chrispy is right, You need to pull out the radiator and get a bit of 2x4 pine put it on top of the radiator support panel and reorganize it with a sledge hammer.

That was a really naughty thing to do.

 

Dont you mean to tell him to buy my nose cut ?

 

Thanks for all your kind words, I'm off to give myself 10 lashes for my mistake and then plan a way to use a porta-power to "jack" it down.

 

Just an update....
Correctly jacked up the car and set on jack stands. Removed the electric fan and used a six foot crow bar with the scissor jack on top up against the steel brace of my garage entrance. Wound the jack until I had made the correct adjustment on my indicating rod. Bonnet shuts as it should again.
Thanks to everyone for there advice and aid in diagnosis...this is a 3hr quick fix I dont want to have to do again.

 

Great work, well done. Glad to hear you were able to fix it.
