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

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
