if u are talking about a standard one, it doesnt attach to the top of the struts, the bar itself is attached to a black bracket on either side, which is attached to the back of the strut tower on two studs either side, (in the boot) you can see it when u remove the boot trim.

if u have a brace that actually attaches to the top of the the struts, u can access them by removing the rear parcel shelf from inside the car.

not true, there are two types of rear strut braces for the R33.

one that sits on top of the struts (requires parcel shelf hacking)

and another that sits on 2 pairs of studs that sit on the rear of the struts and face backwards. (requires boot lining to be cut)

the latter is a bit more rare to find - u can buy a ~$200-$300 cusco one, or find one from a wrecked 33GTR or some 33GTST (series II)

Yeah want to install an aftermarket Brace on my R33. So basically i need to get to them from inside the car on the parcel shelf. I think R32 are different aren’t they as the 33 has the battery and fuses in the back.
