Rear Strut Brace For C34 S2

[wyzokie]

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?

was thinking gtr. might call and ask the measurements. just want a cheapish solution for some bracing. since I put coilovers in she's a tad flexy coming into driveways etc..

32gtr top hats make a bar..

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
