Hi all,

I am in the process of getting some bonnet dampers in to suit R33/R34 and possibly S13's. If anyone is keen on a set I will place a larger order so I can get the price down.

At the moment it is looking to be around the $70 for a black set and $100 for a carbon set.

Will know exactly how much when I place the order, the $$ is tanking which is a bit crappy.

This is just a EOI at the moment, still a couple of weeks away from confirming anything.

Who is keen?

I'd be keen for a set. Been meaning to getting some just never got around to it. I assume they're universal? So no specific brackets or anything..?

Im interested. I have a 180sx (240sx kit because its american) on mine and the struts were to strong and slightly to long so I couldnt use them. The ones I do have are too weak.

Got any pics of the kit you have in mind?

Ill ask about 32's as well.

These dampers are only for GTST/GTT, the bonnets are around the 17kg mark and the dampers are made for this weight.

If I get enough interest Ill see about dampers for GTR's. Can anyone tell me the weight of a GTR bonnet?

I want to order some sample sets for different models so ideally I would like some willing people to test fit these.

ER34

R32 GTST

S13 Silvia

S14 Silvia

I am assured these work with these model/weight bonnets.

If you have the above model and would be keen on a set shoot me a PM. A small deposit will be required.

Here is a pic of what to expect:

First in with PM and deposit gets it :)

I'd like to have the cars at my place so I can check install and operation.

Tried to PM before but got an error that you couldn't receive messages.

Matts probably closer if it is for a test fit! So try it out and let me know how you go :)

Either way if you can make them work i am keen! Would be pretty handy considering the amount of time i spend under the bonnet lolz

Agreed. More room with a higher bonnet plus no obstruction when working. WIN WIN!

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
