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

thanks ill take it all out tonight and have a look.

i got my head under there last nite but my gf drive way doesnt have good light so couldnt see too much.

do i need to supply the bolt or r there already existing ones there for me to use

cheers

cheers

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.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
