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....

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
