Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount -1 1/8″ / 28.575mm Length: N/A

Chassis Dynamic Telemetry: Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount (1 1/8″)

In the relentless pursuit of lap-time performance, understanding exactly what the suspension is doing is paramount. The Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount in 1 1/8″ (28.575mm) is a specialized interface for mounting linear position sensors to suspension components with a 1.125″ diameter. This mount is a foundational piece of any professional standalone ECU integration that includes suspension telemetry. For builders of RB26 or K-swap platforms running high-end coilovers, this mount provides a rock-solid mechanical anchor for potentiometers, ensuring your wheel travel and ride height data is delivered to the ECU with zero distortion.

Engineering Principles: Vibration-Damped Clamping

High-frequency vibration is the enemy of clean sensor data. The 1 1/8″ split-collar mount is machined to provide a precise, concentric fit around the shock body, which inherently dampens chassis “ring” and mechanical noise. This is critical for the Analogue-to-Digital interface of a linear sensor; a stable mounting point ensures that the 0-5V signal reflects only the true compression and rebound of the damper. By using billet construction and high-tensile fasteners, Haltech ensures that the mount will not slip or rotate even under the extreme shock-loading of a high-power LS-swap or 2JZ launch. The precision-milled sensor platform ensures the rod alignment is perfectly straight, preventing side-loading and premature sensor wear.

Operational Benefits: Real-Time Aero and Traction Tuning

Integrating 1.125″ shock mounts with a Haltech Elite or Nexus system allows the tuner to use ride height as a variable in the fuel map calibration. In aerodynamic-dependent cars, ride height data is essential for maintaining the car’s rake angle, which dictates the level of downforce. Additionally, the data can be used to optimize closed-loop boost control; if the sensors detect high-frequency wheel hop, the ECU can instantly adjust the boost ramp-rate to regain traction. The inclusion of Nylon mounting hardware is an essential engineering detail, providing electrical isolation that protects the ECU’s sensitive inputs from EMI and ground loops.

Fitment and Component Quality

This mount suits 1 1/8″ (28.575mm) shock bodies and is designed for use with All Haltech Linear Position Sensors. The split-design allows for a zero-disassembly installation, making it a favorite for track-day teams who need to add telemetry between sessions. The kit includes the billet split collar and a full bolt set (1 x #8-32 and 1 x #10-32 machine bolts). This component is a universal performance upgrade that meets professional harness integration standards, ensuring that your chassis data is as reliable as your engine management.
