NRG Carbon Fiber Hood Dampers

These are some pretty good quality hood dampers and apparently can support the stock and also aftermarket hoods.

Not only is it great to show off when you open the engine bay, but it makes working under there alot easier. It also raises the hood alot more than with the stock hood prop. IMO all cars from factory should come with these things!

Installation took about 30 minutes, and was very easy and straight forward. There is alot of info and DIY on these simple mods on the US G35 forums.

Here are some pics, just finished installing them not long ago, its a bit dark!

Also, the Motordyne Iso Thermal plenum spacer i ordered arrived, so looking forward to do another DIY on that item :)

Nice Mark,

Looking forward to receiving my spacer from you also, once all the items arrive of course, what a pain.

I was thinking of getting Hood Dampers for mine also, saw them on the Riverside eBay Shop.

How much did you pay for yours? And where did you get them from?

Thanks mate.

Got them from a trader on G35driver.com "JDMAutosports"

Ryan is excellent with communication, he is one of the best sellers i have dealt with over there. Ended up paying around $190 AUD delivered for the Carbon Fiber ones.

Nice work Mark, did you have to drill any holes to attach the struts or is it just using what's already there?

I'm not sure why the car didn't come with them in the first place? After all, it's meant to be a luxury sports. :)

yeh you dont have to drill anything at all.

all you have to do, is remove 1 bolt from the fender, and replace it with their own bolt.

then, you just remove the plastic cover over the hood hinges, and then remove the top bolt, and slide on their bracket, and put the bolt back on.

its such an easy installation to do.

hate to butt in, but $190 is expensive (and I just wanna give you guys the heads-up). I got mine for approx $100 delivered from Taiwan and they are carbon fibre look also...

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
