New R32 ball screws have finally turned up.

PM me if you need them and ill send them out.

If there is anyone in Sydney who bought a R32 damper set and can bring their car to my house for a test would be great.

Hi Dave - Great news mate.

I bought 2 sets for R32 GTR so would appreciate 2 sets of the ball screws please.

Like me to send you my Postal details again and any additional cost ?

Cheers

Richard

[NYTSKY]

Please PM details again. No additional cost.

[Sinista32]

Thank you

[NYTSKY]

Just tested them out (thanks Braden), ball screw with damper is low enough so it doesnt bow the bonnet.

One thing I noticed, there are two screws in the top corner of the guard. The front one needs to be removed on each side.

Might be able to get away with not removing it if you put the bracket in between the bonnet and the hinge.

Just me being fussy.

[NYTSKY]

Ball screws have been sent to those who have contacted me.

I also have for sale a set of R32 GTR dampers that I used for testing. Works perfectly.

$50 Pickup SW Sydney.

[Sinista32]

Ta - hopefully will fit before the weekend.

Effort appreciated

[NYTSKY]

Fitting advice:

Screw the screw in all the way then back out 5-6 turns.

Fit the damper to it and make sure the can freely move in normal operation.

If you think you can lower the screw head more and still have normal operation, do so.

[NYTSKY]

I also have 4 sets of ECR33/ER34 Black dampers for sale.

$99 Delivered.

[Dahtone Racing]

I'll take the 32 ones, send me a txt or call 0400085000, thanks mate.

[R32GOJIRA]

Cant wait to fit them up.

Appreciate the effort you have gone to.

Cheers

received the ball screws today for the R32 GTR and will fit tomoz

[krzysztof]

33 and 34 GTR sets are still not available.

to be honest, i have no clue as to why no kits for 33 GTR, but is this something that is in the works in the future with the current struts or well and truly too hard basket..

cheers,

Hey Dave - this may help mate for Any one who got the 32 GTR dampers.

I Tried fitting them up today. Followed instructions and found something interesting.

Firstly removed the top bolt on each guard panel and then placed the damper bracket between the bonnet and the hinge and put the bolts in. (didn't use the ones supplied as they are too thin - Suggest use the original bonnet hinge bolts). The bonnet stayed about 1cm over normal (flush) for ²/₃ the distance towards the front lip. I could close the bonnet completely - but only because it's flexible.

Gave it some thought and put a piece of paper over the guard into the bay where the guard bolts, hinge bolts and screw ball support was.

What I found (besides the bolts and screw ball visually not touching anything) was a nice 2cm straight cut in the paper.

Perhaps this pic explains better. I can see 2 options.

1. Grind down to the yellow line on the screw ball support in the pic or

2. Cut the panel guard.

What you do is ultimately up to you. But for me option 1 is the go which hopefully I'll get to tomorrow, if I can borrow a grinder.

Have some tips that make it a lot easier when fitting but don't have time at the moment.

Cheers

Richard

(Edit: There is sufficient metal that it will not weaken where the screw ball is)

Interesting.

Keep us updated with how you get on with it.

[Sinista32]

Will do - I expect I may have to use a flatter head bolt on the panel guard also as hen it closes further it will be the next obstruction.

[NYTSKY]

Use a screw with an Allen hex at the top.
