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...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
