hey everyone

ok so i was just browsing at things to buy for my car and was interested in the ENGINE DAMPER KITs

that are available. I've read some of the advertisement things for them and they state the following:

Features Engine Damping Adjustment

Flying Mega Engine Torque Damper (FMETD) for all R32 GTR with RB26DET Engine is designed to protect the engine mounts and to reduce engine vibration to the chassis.

Less chassis vibration enables the engine to transmit more power to the ground and therefore greatly improved off-the-line acceleration. It will also improve gear shifting response.

Wheel hop is reduced and enhancing vehicle stability.

Anodised in ELECTRIC BLUE to prevent corroding

Super strong 1 piece piston structure

Complete bolt on kit, very easy to install.

My question is has anyone got one of these installed and do they actually improve acceleration, gear shifting and enhance vehicle stability?

do you even notice it being on there? seems far fetched, but if i'm wrong i'm willing to try it. let us know about your experience.

thanks

Guesty

i got one just cause I think it looks good. i just trick my mind and my wallet into thinking it improves performance.

mines just raw, no attention grabbing anodising.

So you've noticed no improvements?

I disagree, should I have had one installed on my last engine the clutch kick that aided in the splitting of my engine mount, allowing the engine to lift to the point of ripping off my boost controller and free boosting, kissing goodbye to the engine all could have possibly been drastically reduced with fitment off this unit.

That being said in daily usage, one mightent perhaps do the above and have the same result.

nah the brace just drives the two retaining bolts nicely into your rocker covers and if it was violent enough cracks the rocker cover.... :cheers:

but they do look cool.

nothing that made me go "WOW, best money ever spent". a slightly better feel in acceleration, but like I said, its like taking an energy drink and believing you have heaps more energy after drinking it. You dont really know if its doing anything unless you get Mythbusters onto it.

Maybe you should have had the "clutch kick"(not really sure what that is) issue sorted out in the first place?

a clutch kick is used to get wheels spinning... ie accel and then dip or 'kick' the clutch whilst still holding accel. used alot in drifting etc.

      Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
