heheh like i said.. probably more suited for the SR motors..

yeah i can vouch for the beneifits on SR (but i still prefer to use decent engine mounts but not NISMO on sr they aint flash at all... URAS or KAZAMA are the go)

sid, the mounts look exactly like the stock ones. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference looking at what you've got on your car now (e.g. look at the mount under the gearbox). They just have a harder duro rubber in there.

I think the issue with the engine damper for the r33, is the bracketing on both sides is no good. i've used engine dampers on sr20s, like the other guys say, they are noticeable. You feel more harshness etc. On the r33, wasn't noticeable.

the problem is how the r33 has that flimsy bracket which mounts on the strut tower which looks like the harbour bridge. Also, like uras said, how it just mounts off the engine lifting bracket.

If someone actually made a decent damper, it would work.

In regards to the mounts, my car still has stock engine mounts. Even though they're a few years old, they're still OK compared to other cars out there. Drove another r33 with nismo mounts, and the difference was very noticeable. Harshness didn't really increase, but it really made a lot of difference to the gearstick wobble when you back the throttle and clutch in, the box move like crazy anymore.

oh, also, for mounts, I lost the link, but I was reading this site where guys recommend filling the mount with this black silastic compound (works especially well with worn mounts). I think the compound was someothing like window sealant or something. really stiffens them up.

thread revival...after buying one of the JJR engine dampers - they're cheap, I was curious - and getting it and pulling it apart, I can't see how it wouldn't do anything. I thought they were a shock absorber type thing but it's actually a couple of rubber mounts inside, so would stop any rocking of the engine but still cushioning so it's not vibrating against solid metal. The "harbour-bridge" bracket is reasonably thick metal, and mounts to both the strut tower top, and 2 points on side as well. Seems fairly solid now installed. Only just did it and yet to do any real driving on it, but from the construction of it, would seem it does what it says it's supposed to do, stop the engine moving around.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
