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?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
