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 a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
