So I installed both of these items recently, engine damper first and 350evo shifter later. I have to say it makes the car much more enjoyable. I bought the damper used, mounted it from the engine to the strut mount. The engine only moves slightly at high revs. 1-2 shifts are much smoother. Then got the 350evo short shifter (arrived xmas eve!) installed xmas day. Shifts feel soo much more crisp, throw is shorter. I like it alot.

Highly recommend it both, driving experience is much better and the installs are really simple.

hey al, any pics of the damper? what brand and how much did it cost?

 

Its a used stillen damper, but it was missing the mounts. I just rigged it up to mount across to the strut bar area. No pics yet, but I'll try to take some on sunday. It is this exact same damper tho. . .Oh, and I paid $20 for it used here on the forum.

hey al, I saw you parked at pearlridge on sat. I was about to put one of the 350z hawaii club cards on your car when I realized it was you. you work there?

PS: the deck looks so stealth

 

Yup, thats mine, I work there. Phototrends. If you guys have crappy service from there, its probably from me, sorry in advance.

lol. thats funny but probably true huh? don't feel bad though, you'd have to be mr rogers to work retail and not get sick of stupid customers. who's white s2000 is that, you guys kinda match. I used to park up there all the time for 3 yrs when I worked at circuit sh!tty.

 

Well, graduating this semester or in summer, so I wont be there too long (hopefully). Retail sucks, but at least my boss is cool, most of the time.

The white S2K belongs to some hair stylist dude. Some older japanese guy (bummer, why cant it be a chick).

hey al, did you consider the B&M short shirter? i am shopping around for one.

 

I've considered all brands all the way from ebay up to the 350Evo. Basically, there was a deal for one in the classifieds, I read some reviews and purchased. I'm very happy with it. Throw is considerably shorter, but feels like how it should be. Throw is like that of a s2000. Too bad our trans isnt that smooth
