Thanks for the photos, Satanic.

I was trying to figure how it would fit under the boot hinges.

I guess its quite different from the R33, where that had a bracket that sticks out as well.

From the photos, you had to cut the lining right? Just a small slit?

Yeah, the rear strut doesnt do much.

My R33 felt the same when I installed one.

Mainly for looks. :ninja:

Damn, why cant Nissan make more parts compatible between the R33 and R34 :down:

i hear that it makes little to no difference...front strut and sways will be all u need...after coilovers or a spring/shock combo of course...

Can confirm that.

The front strut made a massive difference... best bang for buck in regards to handling mods for sure! 2nd hand cusco front strut braces are 100-150 depending on condition. Piece of cake to install as well.. Not sure why these didnt come stock ?

Made heaps of difference on mine, tightened up the rear end a lot.

You're hearing wrong... and no, those parts are not ALL you need... furthermore, R34s came standard with a front strut brace that more than does the job, why the hell would you replace it? So tell me why you'd NEED to do that?

Yeah quick n easy install... those photos are almost 2 years old now. Some dude who did it in Japan had to grind away the edges on the brackets as he was fitting it to a 4 door. As for the trimming, you are spot on, just a small cut here n there so the brackets fit through.

Are you talking about the same car here? R34s did come standard with a front strut brace, not sure how that can be "bang for buck".

Obviously not.

You can clearly see my avatar has an r33 in it.

and under that it says my car is a r33.

so now you can see how its a bang for buck handling product.

If your car has a subframe that all the rear suspension arms bolt onto, the rear strut brace does nothing as the subframe provides excellent rigidity. If the upper arms bolt onto the body (like in the front) then it would be worthwhile.

Remove rear trims... all will be revealed. On each side there are 2 threaded rods poking out, this is where the Cusco brackets bolt to. It's almost as if Nissan was going to put that exact item there, but ran out of money or something.

Umm...relax? I read/heard from SydneyKid's threads...so go tell him he's wrong. I'm just passing on what I heard/read. I didn't say R34's didn't come with one standard...nor did i say it needed to be replaced...I was simply saying that thats probably all he would need for a decent setup...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
