Anyone have one? Does anyone even make one for the HR? I looked at some of the existing ones for the DE engine, but saw nothing in terms of it working on the HR.

How about solid motor mounts? Admittedly I did not search for solid mounts for our engine since I drive my Z daily and would like to retain what little civility it has.

 

never have seen one for the HR

 

Interesting thought though, EEEH, Z1?? *nudge nudge* Maybe that can be your next project.

Ready... Go!

 

eh, they were pointless (IMHO) on the DE. With the advent of the rear diff bushings, the rear traction issue is all but resolved. The engines really don't have much movement to them. Certainly not like most other cars out there. I can't see how it would be all that beneficial to the HR. I'd rather focus on the stuff the car really needs

 

Oooh, okay.

How about a hood mount that makes it open like the old 240SX.

AaaandGO!

PS, check out my sig. Pretty dope, huh?

 

lol -I hear ya!

like a 240Z-280ZX (S30/S130) series you mean?

 

Yeah, that's what I meant. You better hurry; time's a-wastin!

 

Engine damper like this?

Yep! Sorry, I said "dampener".

But if it isn't needed on our cars, so be it. Just curious.

OT - hey Z1, any news on the HR cooling plates?

 

anyone have a picture of this installed?

i knew these existed for some engines, and i kinda want one for my vq35HR swapped s13. my concern is for tight clearances as much as 'loss of power due to vibrations' though.

anyone know how much reduction in total movement there is? or does it just slow down the frequency of vibrations and leave the maximum torque related twist mostly unaffected?

 

I have it installed. It's pretty well tucked away but i'll see what can be done about pics tomorrow.

 

Installed pics, sorry I use picasa and it doesnt allow me to embed the pics.

Up close under passenger side intake tube

View from above, can't really see it here.

Little blurry, but you get an idea where it is.

^^Hey is that a nismo brace under your strut bar you have there and if so where did you get it? I have been looking everywhere for one and can't find one. lmk

 

It's the stillen core support brace powder coated black to look OEM.

What kinda intake is that? Looks like wall insulation... does it actually function the way I assume it's supposed to?

 

It appears the be an Injen intake and he put some form of insulation over it to stave off the dreaded and fictional "heat soak".

Looks good under that hood though, minus the insulation. Notice anything different after putting on the damper? Extra vibrations in the cabin? How easy was the install?

 

Make a thread NAO. I wanna see.

 

haha damn yea i forgot how cramped it was in them engine bays...

does the other end just bolt to the frame rail?

i am wondering if i could mount this im my car.... I bet I could.

how long would you guess it is from rod-end to rod end?


yea, i'll start a thread for the vq35hr s13 im working on sometime real soon.... i have a decent amount of pictures but im at work now.

link to it will be in my sig.



EDIT:
apparently no sig linkage for me...
but i finally posted it
HERE

 

Fictional heat soak? It's very real imo. Have you guys felt the ingen tubes after even just a cruise around the block? The ugly wrap serves its purpose, it definately keeps the tubes cooler. You can't see it, but there is more shielding on the bottom half of the tubes. There is a reason Nissan choose plastic/rubber composites for those bits.

Install was pretty easy, hardest part is fitting the socket into those spaces. Universal joint ftw.

Added some vibrations, I don't hear much of a difference, I feel it through the steering wheel under hard accelleration.

 

Other end bolts to the lower front of the passenger strut tower. You replace a bolt with a slightly longer one provided by Stillen.

About 7" end to end from eye bolts.
