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.

We have plenty of these in stock ready to go, so get your orders in now.

Cheers,

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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
