saw these in the latest Tengoku being fitted to a s13

who's going to try them out first

after my 35 gtr afm testing I'm over trying things out to many wankers

who say they know better than the Japanese

http://blog.car-and-....jp/?eid=191254

What's the theory here??

By elliminating the striker gap the chassis is stiffer and the steering becomes more responsive........

Maybe if your driving an old Corolla but seriously a late model monocoque chassis.....

just cut up an old car tyre and jam it in there.

for it to do anything it would have to make the door harder to open and close. but i highly doubt that anyone would be able to notice the difference with or without them

Totally agree. The difference if any would be so negligible behind the steering wheel you wouldn't notice.

Seems they have moved on from magic earthing kits to magic door strikers....

coming from TRD i wouldn't put it them the same boat as those making earth wire kits

I'm not sure if that was a smart arse remark or not.....

I'd assume they are some type of before and after chassis graph that's been put together buy a Japanese marketing guru at TRD.

Things don't even need to work for companies like TRD and nismo to market them.

Nismo upper arms for the R32.......

The brackets are good but the arms are the same

S chassis castor rod mounts

Same as factory painted silver......

Nismo engine mounts.....

Ever cut both types in half and seen the insides?

Same same just new.

A late model chassis like the 86 would not suffer from extreme chassis flex that would be felt at the steering wheel.

The marketing for these claims more responsive steering. Everyone I know who has punted one of the 86's hard has commented how good the steering is. Chassis flex mustn't be that bad.

If it was then there would be massive amounts of warranty claims from door skins rubbing on door jams taking paint off like the original 350z convertible had problems with

wasn't I hoped they made some sense to someone

all the nismo arms are claimed to have different bushes material used than the nissan stuff

most are braced, different length for more camber more caster etc

pretty sure nismo mounts are again made with different material than nissan mounts so there more rigid

I've never cut open a brand new nissan mount compared to a brand new nismo mount never had a reason to doubt the claims

I've just tried rocking my motors before and after and noticed a difference which I guess your saying is just new compared to old

the graphs probably show the "improvement" claimed by trd

don't forget the nismo sticker.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
