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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
