I'm trying to fit a Nismo s-tune strut bar with brake stopper to my r32 gts4 rb25det.

Firstly the brake stopper didn't line up so I've had to just rotate it for now, so it's misaligned but at least two edges are in contact with the master cylinder.

When trying to connect the bar - at the driver's side - the bar won't line up in the hole properly so the bolt doesn't go in. This is because the bar goes directly over the intake pipe and fouls on the last black joining hose.

It appears to be just millimetres too high. From what I've seen the rb20 plenum/intake is positioned closer to the firewall so it's not a problem.

Anyone else come across this issue? Would washers or spacers under the plates be okay?

Cheers.

I've got the same strut bar, you will need to rotate the stopper a bit more so it sits flush.

Maybe once you fix that, the rest will fall into place?

Here's pics of mine

Edit: Oh wait, I think that strut bar only fits R33 and R34? And not R32?....

Yes, it's an R32 strut bar.

Charles89 - I intentionally aligned it that way. From that picture if I rotate it clockwise only 1 edge will be in contact with the MBC (it's that much offset). So that one gold edge will be sitting against that diagonal bit, hope that makes sense.

blind_elk - is yours a Neo? Forgot to mention that mine is a Neo, but you can probably see that from where the traction control module would be mounted.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
