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. :)

pretty sure the gtr and gtst both use the same rear strut brace dont they?

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...

Found this one in a Subwoofer install thread.

Thanks again Mitcho.

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?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see 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.
