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

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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
