Look at my post above yours.....

"Mass dampers are then fitted between the unibody's left and right frame members to control the extra vibration inherent in a seam-welded chassis."

From what ive read about the nismo before I bought mine, was that its 140% stiffer than the standard 370... I'll try to find the article i read it and post back. I thought there were more things besides just the dampers...

Probably the extra welding, the added support in the corner up front and some added braces on the tower brace ... but, all those things are not a easy add. Perhaps us guys with the Sports Model can get a little added stiffness to the chassis buy just adding the dampers. At least, I'm hopefully that it might be a good mod.

OK, were talking the same thing. I'm wondering if it's an easy add?
