Looking to sell my nitto torque dampner. Few things you should know. First off its set on max stiffness. Its locked in place with threadlocker so nearly impossible to undo since you cant really put a wrench to it. I got sick and tired of it coming loose since you can only adjust it with your fingers. Also the rubber bushings were all shot i supose from my agressive driving on max stiff. So i filled them in with quicksteel which is equivalent to JB weld. So now the engine has zero movement whatosever. The result is instant pedal reaction soon as you press the gas the engine responds. Helps eliminate that slight lag. Feels like you gained 5 more hp. Downside is at idle there is quite a noticible vibration. Still a much cheaper alternative than switching to trd mounds or filling them with poly. You can experience what its like without having it permanent. This dampner is easy to remove with only a 14mm wrench.

Another thing is the cabin noise has increased. Not a bad thing i think though it sounds like you are driving a camero now.

So this would be ideal for someone who has a manual transmission since its in neutral waiting at a stop light you dont get to experience the negative effects but gain all the max positive effects.

Sitting at stop lights and having to put the car in neutral has been bothering me looking to see if someone wants to buy it the way it is.

Also if someone local wants to buy it ill help you install it. Requires minor modification to the bracket for the main harness

Soon as rain clears ill try to take a few pictures. Theres one bracket that holds a wiring loom that comes in contact with the dampner. You have to bend it a bit and rotate it around otherwise it will rub.

As you can see i did a quality job on filling the bushings. I completely gutted out the rubber so none remained and sanded the inside as well as the center piece before filling. Looks almost like it was that way from the factory. Its completely solid all the way through no movement whatsoever. Drove it really hard no cracking showing at all. Looks like it will last forever.

It shouldn't need to be adjusted, the way he's got it set up. It's a "damper extreme version", they probably should offer a super stiff version just like this.
