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?

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
