hey i was trying to look for some answers to fitting a front strut bar im looking fitting one but i have a turbo that sits near the right hand tower (its a r32 gts4) was seeing if people have problems with this and if there is special braces people use to over come this??

Hard to tell for sure from your photo, but I dont think you will have clearance issues, Turbo sits just above the cam cover on yours, and their designed to clear the crossover pipe so I dont think you'll have an issue. Mine has miles of clearance between the cam covers and strut brace:

mine was very close, even more so because the turbo has a heat sheild; however the stagea factory strut brace does sit very high. I could see a highmount turbo fouling a strut brace pretty easily.

yeah alright cheers guys yeah was looking at a juran brace

looks like is quiet flat so any one got pics of these sort fitted?

Looks like it has a similar profile to my Tomei9 3 point, it looks fairly flat in pictures but actually sits fairly closely to 89Cals brace up the top.

Only pics I really have of it but should give you some idea.

Edit: having a closer look at that Juran brace it loks like it won't even need to sit above the turbo as it sits further back than the forward-most tophat bolt.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
