I've done some searching but couldn't really find what I was looking for.

I know greddy made these strut bars, but are now discontinued. I also found cusco still make them.

but I was wondering if anyone has used anything other than these? something from a different model Nissan. I've been told that r32 mounts may fit but will need a custom bar. I'm keen to save some money and not pay $250+

any help would be appreciated.

well given that GT-R suspension goes into the rear then i'd assume the top hats are the same as GT-R's - which means the outer mounts off any GT-R will fit - then you just have to get the measurement in between the towers.

maybe try for a whiteline or something with a rose joint in it, which will allow you to fine tune the length?

When you say GTR, I assume you mean R33.

R33 GTR rear strut braces do not bolt to the top of of the towers like the C34 ones.

They bolt accross the back of the tower on studs

don't know? don't have a GT-R - but i do have R34 GT-R Coilovers so i just assumed the top hat pattern would be the same - and i'd say knowing nissan - that there would have to be other skylines using the same pattern with braces that bolt to the towers.

good to know though. your search continues! but seriously, yahoo japan - second hand - contact aaron at import monster and he'll get it done for you - save yourself the hassle.

actually, contact him regardless - i know he has a few stags that he is wreckign and might have a strut brace for you. if not, he will have a heap of braces that he could try in the back of his personal stagea.

i know the 33 rear strut braces don't mount to the suspension hats, they bolt down else where

keen to see the development of this, seeing as i was too poor to get it very far over summer

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
