You can either made a small cut in the lining or take the whole lining out of the sides..

If you just want to test fit take out the lining and you will see two little bolts with rubber caps on them about 2-3cms long.

Take off the rubber caps slide your strut brace on and bolt it up.

Quite easy, hope this helps man

I ordered one of the carbing ones but had problem fitting them on. The mechanic do believe it is the wrong model for my car. Anyway, we stripped the interior on the back and removed the seats but the bar is sitting at an angle where we cant bolt it down to the strut towers. But from the pic above, it seems to be different though. Is this because of the design from different brands or? I have a woofer in my boot which is secured (which i cant remove) and if the bar is meant to be sitting that way then I might not be able to put the rear brace on. :P

would love to see some pics of the carbing brace. where did you get it from? does it sit in the boot like the cusco? or sits just under/on top of parcel shelf? thanks

nah, i dont have pic of the rear cos it is not the right model so we wasted 1.5 hours stripping the interior. But the front ones is thicker than the OEM ones (OEM is adjustable??) and ooh, the front carbing comes with master cylinder stopper too. :P waiting for their supplier to get back to them on why they sent the wrong rear.

By the way, anyone else here have the carbing rear braces? I need to know if i will be able to retain my back seats and my woofer?? Looking at whiteline sway bars too... LOL

Anyone with pic of a carbing braces on ER34 please please post them here!!

bit of an old thread but...where can you get a rear strut brace from for a r34 gtt?

is this for a sedan or coupe? apparently they (carbing) hasnt got one for the sedan so if you have a coupe then try asking WA suspension (brad on SAU).

so other than coilovers, what do you reckon is effective and achieves something for r33/r34?

Swaybars obviously, the best value for money handling upgrade you can make. Then get the suspension geometry where it should be, so camber kits front and rear, caster kit anmd rear subframe alignment kit. That will get the maximum amount of tyre in contact with the road/track, then it's up to how good the tyres themselves are.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
