As per above. I have had to remove my Cusco brake stopper because it hit my Plazmaman plenum. I have seen strut braces that have master cylinder stoppers in them but have no idea of which brand.

Any takers?

The NISMO strut brace has a built in brake stopper

Just looked up nismo strut braces and couldnt see any master braces

I have aNISMO strut brace and definitely has one. I bought it new about 4 months ago. I think that I bought it from www.greenline.jp if you find it on their website it says that brace comes with the brake master cylinder stopper.

Cusco do one. I got mine from Greenline but had to email them & ask as it was not listed.

Same as the normal strut braces except the drivers side mount has the bits on it for the brake stopper.

Get a buddy to press the brake pedal in your car while you look under the bonnet. If he pressed hard you'll see the brake booster moves. It's flexing on the mounts.

A stopper essentially braces this and can give you a slightly better feel.. Not a lot of difference in my opinion though.

i had the same thing with my plazaman, cusco strut brace and separate cusco master cylinder stopper - was rubbing - put in a decent engine torque damperner, one with a little bit of give - never had a prob with hitting or rubbing since and not screwed engine mounts or anything else either

R32 or R33? R32 clashes on mine.

Not paying 3 times what my engine is worth for a ti one either :) May attack my Whiteline one with a welder and see what I can butcher up

Thanks people

R32 gtst just like yours

Have a bit 15mm gap between stopper and Plenum when normal after few track days noticed a small rub mark wearing away was from engine torque pushing engine over under load. Engine dampener on that side worked a treat no probs at all.

Maybe look at that?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
