for me, they made a big difference, rear end used to be a bit unpredictable due to relatively soft coilovers, and since i've had the rear strut brace in it's helped that a lot. I've noticed especially when drifting, weight transitions on corners where you change direction have been a lot more smooth than it used to be.

sorry to be a hassle mate, but would you be able to take a pic of how much height clearance you get over the plenum/throttle intake. I've got an rb25 in my 32 and its hard to find a strut brace with enough clearance.

Thanks

Oh, and i'll grab a rear brace too..!

by the looks of things there is ok clearance. take note of where the actual bar runs in realtion to the intake piping before the manifold (in 3rd pic) - as in the case of the rb20 the bar is to the side of intake pipe, (not directly above it).

There seems to be plenty of clearance over engine and at least one inch clearance from rb20det intake manifold. No idea how high rb25det manifold sits.

The only suggestion I can make is perhaps use washers on the drivers side to increase the height of the bar. This is quite safe as long as you don't run out of thread on the strut top bolt's.

Hope this helps, PM me if you wish to order and I'll send bank account details.

cool, thanks for that.

only strut bar that has trouble fitting, is the S13 one with a CA18DET as the rocker cover is slightly too high. It can be fixed by using washers to space one side up a bit.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
