Strut Brace Issue (front) For R33 Gts-t

[dineth]

i got A new strut brace and is having some issues fitting it though, it seems that the nuts that screw onto the main strut brace is not long enough, like even after only 2 turns of the bolts (barely holind the nuts together) it still wont be long enough to connect to the joints? maybe they gave me the wrong nuts? it seems as though if the nuts was even a little bit longer it be right but they just doont seem long enough to reach the joints that bolt onto the suspension and i cant losen the bolts to make it reach cos their already pretty much barely in.

did any one else have any similar issues?

cheers,

hey dude, i had the same issue wif my 33 i rekon i finally got it on and it had maybe half a turn each bolt. Just drill out the hole a lil bit wider each outer side so its still its just enuf to get on.

usually that happens when you get cheap strut braces... did you get a cheapo ???

well it wasnt like a cheapo cheapo, but still cheap (Not like cusco or a high end jap brand), but the thing is its australian made so it cant be that bad?

I don't think it matters where it was made i guess maybe it is not designed for your car i would be sending it back asking for a refund. eg maybe they sent you a gtr one and you have a gts-t i dont know

i paid a 100 buks 4 mine so its cheap compared to the good brands but still made a huge difference

So are you talking about the bolts coming from the shocks.Or the ones that go through the brackets and the bar themselves??

If it is the brackets and bar then just go and get a longer bolt to go through it so there will be somthing for it to sit on.

its the bolts that screw into the bar itself.... they look like their a special type of bolt..cos they got a hole drilled through them and everything, so i dont know where u could get replacement bolts like that...
