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,

Din

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 ;)

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...

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
