Just like to say i just picked up my strut brace tonight.....

Very good quality for the price....

Very very happy and suggest anyone who does not have one and wants one... then this is your man....

hi,

i dont mean to speak out of turn here, but i have one of these braces - well it looks physically exactly the same - and while i just cannot fault the manufacturing, i have to say that i'm not that impressed with the design ...

once it is installed, you cannot adjust it to make it slightly tighter, you basically make it the right size to fit the shocks on either side, and place it over the bolts, or squeeze it over the bolts, replace the nuts, tighten them up, and that it ... no more adjustment ...

just not a great desigm imho

just my 2c

what are you talking about??? use the alan key bolts to tighten the brace. :P

ahh, this one must be different then ... couldnt see ANY method of tighening the one i have ... will pull it all apart and replace the existing bolts with allen heads ...

sorry if i put anyone off, i was in the wrong ...

cheers

Hiroshima Screamer : My supplier has heaps left. But I wait till I have enough people to make the group buy, then I go and get a batch. If you want, the next batch I get I will get r32 front for you?

You don't need to buy allen key bolts. Just where the actual brace meets the bracket you will need to tighten those bolts and that will tighten the brace. Easy :D

1 R33 left without group buy. For anything else it will be put on the list to be order from the supplier. Takes 1 hr to get the parts.

Just a question, in the picture with the 33, does the brace get into the way when trying to change the spark plugs?

The big silver pipe that goes into the intake manifold, can it still be turned upwards to access spark plugs or is the brace in the way.

Thanks.

gtrGhosTDoGG11: I haven't taken the cover off yet to see if it gets in the way. But I reckon I would have to take it off to get to them. Small price to pay though for better handling.

MarkE: Juls bought an r32 off me for R31 was going to make a small mod to fit it. Dont know the results though. Maybe you can ask.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
