NRG Carbon Fiber Hood Dampers

These are some pretty good quality hood dampers and apparently can support the stock and also aftermarket hoods.

Not only is it great to show off when you open the engine bay, but it makes working under there alot easier. It also raises the hood alot more than with the stock hood prop. IMO all cars from factory should come with these things!

Installation took about 30 minutes, and was very easy and straight forward. There is alot of info and DIY on these simple mods on the US G35 forums.

Here are some pics, just finished installing them not long ago, its a bit dark!

Nice Mark,

Looking forward to receiving my spacer from you also, once all the items arrive of course, what a pain.

I was thinking of getting Hood Dampers for mine also, saw them on the Riverside eBay Shop.

How much did you pay for yours? And where did you get them from?

Thanks mate.

Got them from a trader on G35driver.com "JDMAutosports"

Ryan is excellent with communication, he is one of the best sellers i have dealt with over there. Ended up paying around $190 AUD delivered for the Carbon Fiber ones.

Nice work Mark, did you have to drill any holes to attach the struts or is it just using what's already there?

I'm not sure why the car didn't come with them in the first place? After all, it's meant to be a luxury sports. :)

yeh you dont have to drill anything at all.

all you have to do, is remove 1 bolt from the fender, and replace it with their own bolt.

then, you just remove the plastic cover over the hood hinges, and then remove the top bolt, and slide on their bracket, and put the bolt back on.

its such an easy installation to do.

hate to butt in, but $190 is expensive (and I just wanna give you guys the heads-up). I got mine for approx $100 delivered from Taiwan and they are carbon fibre look also...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      eBay "Hella" oil level sensor

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
