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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
