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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
