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

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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
