hey everyone

ok so i was just browsing at things to buy for my car and was interested in the ENGINE DAMPER KITs

that are available. I've read some of the advertisement things for them and they state the following:

Features Engine Damping Adjustment

Flying Mega Engine Torque Damper (FMETD) for all R32 GTR with RB26DET Engine is designed to protect the engine mounts and to reduce engine vibration to the chassis.

Less chassis vibration enables the engine to transmit more power to the ground and therefore greatly improved off-the-line acceleration. It will also improve gear shifting response.

Wheel hop is reduced and enhancing vehicle stability.

Anodised in ELECTRIC BLUE to prevent corroding

Super strong 1 piece piston structure

Complete bolt on kit, very easy to install.

My question is has anyone got one of these installed and do they actually improve acceleration, gear shifting and enhance vehicle stability?

do you even notice it being on there? seems far fetched, but if i'm wrong i'm willing to try it. let us know about your experience.

thanks

Guesty

i got one just cause I think it looks good. i just trick my mind and my wallet into thinking it improves performance.

mines just raw, no attention grabbing anodising.

So you've noticed no improvements?

anyone else got one?

I disagree, should I have had one installed on my last engine the clutch kick that aided in the splitting of my engine mount, allowing the engine to lift to the point of ripping off my boost controller and free boosting, kissing goodbye to the engine all could have possibly been drastically reduced with fitment off this unit.

That being said in daily usage, one mightent perhaps do the above and have the same result.

nah the brace just drives the two retaining bolts nicely into your rocker covers and if it was violent enough cracks the rocker cover.... :cheers:

but they do look cool.

nothing that made me go "WOW, best money ever spent". a slightly better feel in acceleration, but like I said, its like taking an energy drink and believing you have heaps more energy after drinking it. You dont really know if its doing anything unless you get Mythbusters onto it.

Maybe you should have had the "clutch kick"(not really sure what that is) issue sorted out in the first place?

a clutch kick is used to get wheels spinning... ie accel and then dip or 'kick' the clutch whilst still holding accel. used alot in drifting etc.

      It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
