It will definitely fit a PNM35; I made one for Alex's (PN Mad) HKS fed beast in the last run.

The only issue will be delivery cost; I can get a shipping quote, and them we can go from there. Shoot me a PM to remind me, and I'll get back to you later in the week.

Cheers, Dale.

Sorry mate I wont be going ahead with this now, as I ended up making my own.

Lol! I didn't really do a pink one, yours is glossy, badass black; just like the rest.

Unwrapping it though... :whistling:

Devo. Here I was thinking I'd have a limited edition colour!

Lolz guise; if I'd realised the demand for pansy pink; I'd have doubled the price & brought out a limited edition...

Update; Braces and mounting hardware are bubble wrapped, in cardboard tubes and labelled for shipping.

Tracking documents all filled in to make life easy for the Post Office chicks, and if possible; they will be going to the Post Shop tomorrow, as I think they still do Saturday morning Parcel drop off.

If not; they will be going in early next week. I'll PM individually with a tracking number once they are on their way.

Thanks again for your patience and support with the group buy; won't be long until you're unveiling my shiny my black rod.

Enjoy lads.

time for another kind of bracing...3-point strut bar? :P

I have another part for stiffness! Need to talk to someone who has a M35 Chassis Jig though!!!!

Anyone got one!!! :domokun:

If I cannot find one I'll setup another Group buy.

P.S. This will take away the need for strutt brace......not that we needed a strutt brace anyway with our chassis but is a need!!! :cheers:

It definitely makes a difference, so why not!

I am curious though how much of a difference the chassis brace is going to make when I've already got the strut brace.

I am curious though how much of a difference the chassis brace is going to make when I've already got the strut brace.

Considering most of the steering & braking forces are channeled through the compression rod (piano); which is right next to where the brace mounts, its effect is quite pronounced.

Double A arm front ends don't load the strut towers in the same way that Macpherson strut arrangements do. Macpherson struts tend to push the strut towers toward each other as they compress; which effect camber & caster (and therefore contact patch).

Double A arms tend to direct the forces more efficiently upward; rather than inward, and the arms and shocks actually work better; so a strut brace has a lesser effect. Not NO effect, just LESS effect.

When you see how little support our chassis rails have (the crossmember is about a foot further forward); and how much force is directed diagonally back into them, you start to understand why such a simple brace makes such a big difference.

I know it might sound like I'm just pushing my barrow; but it does work, and it works well.

If I was able to fit the bar to your car, and get you to drive a course; then take it off (but not tell you), get you to drive the same course again, you'd know instantly that it was gone.

I have both strut brace and subframe brace. Strut brace did SFA but after taking out the stupid catt mounts (NA models) and fitting the subrame brace, it works wonders. Can not wait for the rear subframe brace

Glad you're happy Matt. ;)

where we up to with the orders for these things, i forgot all about it...

Daleo i think you can make me a front brace before my car is put back together, will it be different with a turbo and no dual cats etc ?

Hi Nate, I think I have a spare one; let me check tomorrow and I'll PM.

Should be fine; if you haven't already done the exhaust, you'll be able to work around the brace.

Scotty has a 3.5" system, with a 2" wastegate pipe running through there, with a brace fitted; so you shouldn't have any great issues.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
