In the boot Nizmokid, just behind the partition between the boot and battery compartment.

My cars at the panel beaters right now and I cant for the life of me remember exactly where its bolted onto. From memory, I think its on the back part of the panel that surrounds the suspension rig (shockers and springs).

Strut braces obviously stiffen the car. This is a good thing if you have the suspension to match...if not then sometimes the flex can actually work to your advantage rather than to your detriment. Skylines are also quite stiff in stock form when compared with a commodore or a falcon for example, especially in the rear sections. I would suggest that your money may be better spent than a rear strut brace.....

If however you have too much money and are stuck with what to do with it....different story....rear strut brace does look good when the boot is open.

Cheers

Hi Guys, front strut brace on a Skyline = definitely worth the money. Stiffens up the upper/inner mounting points for the front upper control arms, so actually does something.

Rear strut brace on a Skyline = not really worth the money. The upper/inner mounting points for the upper control arm, don't mount to the body, they mount to the sub frame. So achieves almost nothing.

Hope that adds to the knowledge base.

There is two studs on the bask side of the suspension towers. It should slide straight on. GTRs and Type M's come with these standard don't they??? I picked up a Cusco OS type one second hand a little while ago. It does stiffen the body a bit. I noticed that when getting a bit of drift it seemed to be a little easier to hold, I think cos of the extra chassis stiffness?? And now when taking the angle over kerbs into driveways it will pickup the inside rear wheel. Besides it looks tuff when you open the boot!

hey guys,

i have one in the boot of my R32. it site rite in the middle of the boot but make a diff on the handling. plus i have after market suspension which is fairly stiff and it sticks to the road like s**t to a blanket.. the only thing is my amps for the stereo are mounted on the back panel of the seat makes for a pain if you want to do some adjusting

;)

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
