How To: Install A Strut Tower Brace

[wilch]

Here I installed a Nismo-copy strut tower brace that I bought from UAS on an R33 GTS-t.

rrp $165

Steps:

1. Park the car on flat ground.

2. Undo and remove the 2 nuts on the top of each strut tower.

3. Place the strut tower brace over each of the strut towers.

4. Put the nuts back on and tighten them up.

5. Align the master cylinder stopper and tighten it up.

6. Using left over bolts (if you've removed your airbox use the ones from here) screw the master cylinder stopper bracket into the holes that are provided on the side of the strut tower.

7. Remove the plastic protecting the finish.

8. Take photos

Usually its best to remove the plastic before installing the strut brace into the engine bay

Yeah and let it get scratched during installation.

Good work Wil

geez... that bolt that holds on the bar to the plates is pretty short... doesn't even protrude beyond the nyloc nut...

i'd want to change that over...

I know this is a 4 year old thread. But is this for the front or rear? Cause I'm kind of confused by the master cylinder stopper.

I also read somewhere that the front of the car needs to be jacked up before installing the strut brace. Can anyone confirm this?
