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!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
