I'd say he would, but I think this is a case of form over function.

Get a price to get one fabbed up....it is after all....just a brace.

You've got the JJ one to go off as a template anyway. Just a thought. At least then you'd have one of a kind

+1

sounds like a good idea to get one made up.

the jj one is so shit it touches the top of the plenum of the stock rb25 and i think the bonnet as well coz it has scratches on it at the top and i dont know where from.

yes it is just for looks really but i think that i will notice some difference in the way it drives too

they don't serve that bigger purpose on the skylines anyway due to the way the suspension is setup, compared to silvia's etc that rely on the top of the strut more

so no, he won't see alot if any difference driving

if it's rubbing on stuff etc then get a new one, i was considering getting a JJ front one but if they rub on stuff i might look elsewhere

the rear ones are pretty much completely useless in skylines

no way in the world will you feel any difference between brands of strut brace. In fact odds are if someone took it off and didn't tell you, you wouldn't pick it at all.

unless you mean a difference in how your wallet feels?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
