Engine Torquing (twisting?) Need Some Opinions.

[theDETlife]

Gidday,

I have done a 25det engine replant in my r32 and have kept my old front strut brace in place but have noticed that strut brace only just clears the engine by about .5mm!
I have raise the strut brace as high as it will go, and slid the engine mounts as far down as they go and have only got .5mm of clearance between TPS and the brace.
So, this leaves me worried as engines under load torque or twist the same way the crank spins, especially the rubber r32 engine mounts, so do i take the brace off and let the engine do its stuff or keep it on and when giving it heaps and let the brace flight against the twisting of the engine?

If left on could this be bad for the struts and rip the brace off the threads? or would it be oky?

im not sure what to think of this.

Put a few washers under it. Or if you have already done that get a welder to raise it a bit more.

Given how little front strut braces do on Skylines........

[XKLABA]

Given the top arms mount to the strut tower they do a little bit, a very little bit

Put some spacers under it like Bob already said

It's the back that is absolutely point less

The engine actualy twists the opposite direction to how the crank spins (anti clockwise)

Take the strut brace off, problem solved.

Or take it off and give it a bend in the middle, its not doing much anyway, morso if you want it there for looks.

Sweet, thanks guys.

another option you could try if find engine mounts that are shorted, look threw a macay catalouge for something that will work
