Yamaha Chassis Performance Damper

Trilitheum · 05-03-2016, 10:50 PM

I have a used Yamaha performance damper off of a G37 up for sale. I bought it a year ago for a project to add the performance chassis dampers from the Nismo to the standard Z.

I found the Nismo parts off a wrecked Nismo so I didn't need this damper.

This isn't exactly the same length as the 370 chassis dampers and has no brackets, so some fab work would be needed, finding Nismo brackets would help. It took me 3 years to find the actual Nismo parts, they are hard to find.

Hopefully someone can make use of this!

$80 USD + Actual Shipping (Located in Ontario, Canada)

Thanks!

What exactly this damper gives?

How was the installation? Did brackets bolt on to stock chassis?

^^It's supposed to stop chassis vibrations, especially with stiffer springs and shocks that were found on the Nismo. In the case the G37 its likely there to make things smoother by dampening the chassis and reducing NVH.

On my car after adding the front and rear dampers it was noticeably smoother on the road.

^The brackets and damper for the front off of the Nismo bolt directly onto the front frame members beside the rad. The rear damper required the rear sub frame brace from the Nismo with the tabs to mount the damper, or you have the weld tabs onto the stock sub frame brace as one member did do here.

I would like to add these, but buying new even from Z1 is too much money. I wonder how many of these survive on crashed Nismos?

Not too many I would presume, it took me over 3 years finding one piece at a time to make the set. If the car gets hit front on, or rear ended, these dampers are right there in the open and usually get smoked.

I couldn't bring myself to pay the cost for the new parts either.
