Ok...During a thread, a few people picked up on something I did this weekend and I got so many requests that my PM got filled up so I am going to show and post it here..


Now...what we are dealing with is somthing that is marketed but it did not really get a huge response...and I said to myself..this is a great idea...but it could be done better...so without further ado...here it is...


Engine shock absorber. Not a rubber bushing in a small shaft but a true gas shock hand picked for compliance, very strong and relatively short and stocky. A shock witb a 2600 LB capability but short.

I found it. took a lot of time to find it.'

I rigged up a mounting system (not beautiful but very functional) and I installed it.

WHOA MULE...what an improvement!

When I start the car, instead of the shifter shaking about 1/2 inch side to side (engine, tranny etc) I get this super smooth startup.

The car now feels like an SC 400 in smoothness during startup and idle.


Damn I say..

Next, I get on the road and the head to strut tower vibration is not vibrating but emmiting this Lamborghini type sound that is sex to the ears. So I start up in first, move to second and lay into it at around 30MPH and I see the front fenders rising and being pushed back in the seat like not before..

Instead of power twisting on the driveline, it is going to the rear suspention. The shifter is hardly flexing and if you hit a gear, totally absorbed big time...tires come on line.

You know how the older 300Z's would squat down? Now my 240 Squats like this ...front raises up and total stability. In wet weather, I used to fishtail with the open diff. Now, strait line pull, stability. Both tires are spinning...level and deep pull.

Am I over hyping this?

NOT!!!!


You must do this and see for yourself. Best mod for the money..

I am working on a pretty mount but at this time, it works so well..I may keep it ghetto for a while.

Ok..picture time..

BTW, you can get this shock through me and zilvia will make a healthy percentage. I will make 3 dollars on it..and zilvia can make almost 20 or you can try to source it. It is the only one I have found that does the magic..so if you want to help zilvia..I want West to provide the zilvia stickers and lets make this one of our first products offered...and it works big time.

You think $50 for the whole mounting kit and shock would be too much?? This is for the KA24SOHC engine only at this point.

At this price, Ziliva is makeing some change that is worthy.

It is an awesome value. I make about 3 or 4 bucks...and you pay shipping. Zilvia can make 4/5 times what I make. Lets help the site pay for the new server and all...and your car will love it. Mine does...very nice mod.

You don't love it? I will buy it back. you pay to ship (6 bucks?)

DOHC and SR to follow and I will make killer mounts once I have the cars to measure.

You can go buy a gas shock...this one is really thought out for compliance. Worth something eh?


I cannot imagine driving my car again without it.

It works great.
