Stops your engine moving around.

Increases horsepower and torque...

You will see it most effictive in an SR engine tho.. They move around a fair bit..

Esp if you got cams etc etc.. for 80 bucks from justjap.. probably a nice little upgrade

You might as well get the brake fluid stopper thingy..

i think hes talking about a master cylinder stopper,

its basically a bracket that mounts to your strut tower with a plate or bolt that press up against your brake master to stop it flexing against the firewall when you hit that anchors.

Edit: ^^ yea what he said..

so stops your brake fluid from moving around all the time when you brake hard or go fast around a corner

^ brake fluid right? hmm yea think thats what it does..

I havnt noticed any in my friends worked up s15.. thats got cams etc in it..

If you got adjustable castor rods like me, then you can feel those thru the cabin lol..

not to sure about engine dampers..

Edit: pm PLYNX.. hes got one in his 33.. ask him if he feels anything!!

I'd hope they save engine mounts.

I've done in one set of new engine mounts. :D

A mate in his GTS4 also did a set of engine mounts.

The Skylines appear to be fairly well setup; even with a busted engine mount they don't move around that much. Previous v8 aussy cars I've owned have the whole shifter moving often cracking your left knee. :S

I put in a HPI engine damper in my car and had it on for 3 years+....... i reckon it was a waste of money IMO. haha

i do circuit/drags quite a few times a year and with 135,000kms on the body. engine mounts still seem fine..(ithink)

if i had the choose again i rather put that money elsewhere but i dunno .

As for vibration in cabin.. feels the same to me.....

they hardly do shite on RB's as the attachment point is a flexible bracket (factory lifting pont).

this is all you need to know.

everytime I've tried to buy one in japan my (knowledgeble) friends there have talked me out of it. When I asked if they were good his exact words were: "looks part only". meaning it's just useless bling. if you like the look by all means get one. if you want a stiffer mount for your engine just use the nismo engine and box mounts.

lols. a brake master stopper doesn't stop brake fluid moving around. it stops your firewall flexing when you are hard on the brake pedal.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
