Hey ppls,

Taking from the "B" Piller brace thread...... and expanding a little.

The R34 GTR has a LOT of extra bracing on it, such as between the rear shock towers (on special brackets welded to the towers) and a very solid looking piece between the chassis rails in the boot.

I haven't got a pic, but the heavy looking bent bar bolts through the boot onto the chassis rails, basically where the bolt go to hold on the rear bar reinforcement.....

It looks reasonably easy to manufacture, but before I even consider it, I would like to know if there would be a great deal of use?

I can understand the bracing between the towers (even though not onto the top of the shock body itself) but not sure about the back.

Maybe the rear brace would only be useful when combined with the tower brace?

Any thoughts?

BASS OUT

not that I can anything technical to this, but this is a popular addition to the 33 gts-t's. I bought a set of front & rear Cusco braces for my 33, already had a front one fitted previously an at the time thought it'd be a good upgrade to have both?

I can honestly say that I notice no difference in having the rear brace fitted. Maybe if I was looking for that .001 sec quicker time round Phillip Island I might? (will have to try i guess :P )

as mentioned in previous threads (the B pillar one for eg) maybe if the brace was triangular in shape it would offer more rigidity? If the brace went from tower to tower and also had 2 more bars from each tower meeting at a central point on the boot floor creating a triangle, it may offer more noticable results?

my 2 cents, Cheers
