Hey guys,

Just wondering if someone can perhaps put up a pic and maybe some measurements, of where the bolts for mounting a rear strut brace in an R33 are.

I want to put one in the 4door but there are no holes or bolts. Apparently the 4doors didn't get the holes from the factory.

If anyone has one fitted or just have the boot linings out, some info would be much appreciated.

Thanks to ya.

Rob.

One of these ones.

ps, I've read conflicting opinions on whether they are beneficial and most people say you don't need it, but I have one and I want to install it.

The 33 GTR's do. Not sure if this will help you though?

I'm pretty sure 33 GTS-t and GTR both have holes or bolts already in place on the back of the strut towers, visible from the boot when the linings are removed.

I just basically need to know where to drill the holes.

Pics or measurements or both would be awesome. :)

I have one in my 33 and i can take apicture of it for you tomorrow if you want. It will be with a crappy quality iphone though...

Sounds good. Just need to see where the bolts actually should be. Can you get some measurings also? Would be helpful. :cheers:

There are braces that attach to the strut tops like the front, which require hacking the parcel shelf and the there's the in boot style.

I thing both GTR and GTS-t have the mounts from factory for this.

just sent them through, they arent great. You're more than welcome to come around and get measurements etc if you require them.

Cheers mate, I'll chuck 'em up here for curiosity sake. I should be able to figure it out from these...

Once you put this in getting your Bat in/out will be fun :P

I had that convo with Rob out at Japspec. My battery went dead and I could not get the strut brace off. I had to get it into a shop so they could get it off!!

I just pulled it all apart using the mother of all shifters. The ones holding the bar to the bracket were tight as Bro!

Especially tight were the middle bolt/lock nuts. Someone say, left hand thread?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
