hook yourself up doubt they take long to be copied

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....

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.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
