I would like to say I purchased an engine dampner for an R33 GTR on Tues, it arrived first thing this morning (Thurs).

It looks great, extremely solid and appealing to the eye. I have been looking for one of these for ages, and cannot recommend it enough.

Thanks to "Just Jap" for such a quick transaction and postage, its much appreciated!!

If anyone is after a great dampner, give these blokes a call!! :P

Thanks,

Shane.

I had looked for such a product for so long before i got off my arse and finally made one myself!

Slightly off topic but i was wondering why no one has made a product that includes the strut brace, engine dampner and master cylinder brace all in one clean package at a reasonable price? I ask as i had to fabricate one myself due to the lack of thread avalible above the strut tower. No where near enough room to fit three individual products!

I've got a nizmo strut brace - it has an incorporated master cylinder support, no damper though.

Sorry - off topic.

Thanks guys, we have plenty of stock remaining for R32 and R33.

Satanic, we have yet to try one of our kits on an R34 GTT but you are welcome to drop by and one of our staff can look into this for you and see if there is a way to adapt the R33 GTS-T kit to an ER34.

Ive heard of these things being used on S13's before. Does anyone know if they actually make a beneficial difference to the handling of the car or not? Or is it because it looks cool :)

Hi Baz, these are not a handling product. They are designed to reduce wear on your engine mounts caused by engine flex/movement so they are very functional, not a looks thing.

Cheers,

Steve

can you please post up pics of them fitted on the 33's.

would like to see first before i buy

cheers.

Would installation be an issue for cars with Nismo strut brace which includes the brake master cylinder stopper?

Hi mate, I wouldnt imagine so, however we have not fitted one to a car with that specific strut brace setup as yet.

Hi guys, we have now got some photos showing our R32 GTS-T engine damper fitted to a customers car.

thanks for the pics. looks good. im still gonna hold off till theres some 33 pics up so if you could get some up that would be great. mounting geometry seems different from the pics of the product between the 32's and 33's.

cheers.

Same here, will wait till there's a pic of R33 installation. The mounting plate that goes to the strut tower seems a lot different between R32 and R33.

Hi mate, you are entirely correct, the R33 kits differ significantly from the R32 kits.

We are still working on a photo of the R33 kit fitted, we have sold a large number of these already to customers and we are waiting on some fitted photos which we hope to have shortly.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi

I was wondering if the $99 sau price is only for online purchase or can i come into the store and buy it at the same price. Im from Melbourne but will be travelling to Sydney in 2 weeks for some work and wanted to drop in and have a look around the store.

cheers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
