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

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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
