Fluidampr | Performance Viscous Harmonic Balancers
Where to buy Fluidampr in Australia: Chicane Australia sells Fluidampr viscous harmonic dampers online for the Nissan RB26DETT Phase-2 damper for the R33 and R34 Skyline GT-R and the steel internally balanced damper for the Subaru EJ20 and EJ25. These dampers usually ship in 3 to 5 days, and we ship Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Instead of the rubber ring used in a factory damper, a Fluidampr has a free-floating inertia ring surrounded by high-viscosity silicone fluid, so it damps crankshaft torsional vibration across the rev range rather than at one narrow frequency. That matters most once the rotating assembly, boost or rev limit has been changed.

Choosing the Right Part
A factory damper uses a rubber ring tuned to a narrow frequency range. A Fluidampr uses a free-floating inertia ring surrounded by high-viscosity silicone fluid, which lets it respond to vibration across the rev range. This matters once an engine's rotating assembly has been modified.
To choose the correct damper, confirm your engine code before ordering:
- Nissan: the RB26DETT damper is listed for the Phase-2 engine as used in the R33 and R34 GT-R.
- Subaru: the steel damper is listed for the EJ20 and EJ25 engines and is internally balanced.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended. A harmonic damper mounts to the crankshaft snout and drives the accessory belt, so it must be fitted and torqued according to Fluidampr's instructions. Removing a factory damper usually requires a suitable puller and a way to hold the crankshaft while the crank bolt is undone and tightened.
FAQ
Where can I buy a Fluidampr harmonic damper in Australia?
Chicane Australia carries Fluidampr harmonic dampers and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Shop by vehicle above, search by Fluidampr part number, or contact our team with your engine code if you're unsure which damper suits your build.
How is a Fluidampr different from a factory rubber damper?
A factory damper relies on a rubber ring tuned to a narrow frequency range. A Fluidampr uses an inertia ring in silicone fluid to damp vibration across the rev range.
Which engines are covered in this collection?
We list Fluidampr dampers for the Nissan RB26DETT Phase-2 (R33 and R34 GT-R) and the Subaru EJ20 and EJ25.
Should I install a Fluidampr myself?
Installation by a professional is recommended, following Fluidampr's instructions and torque specifications.
