After finally taking delivery of my car I discovered that the NISMO Strut Brace had been removed somewhere along the journey.

After enquiring with the shipping company they have asked for a quote on replacing the brace. I contacted Unique Auto Sports regards a replacement but they informed me that NISMO no longer manufacture the Strut Brace that went missing. I have a picture of the brace below.

I am looking for info on a business that may be able to source a similar brace for my R32 GTR. The shipping company require a quote on replacement to put the claim through. Anybody with any leads I would be grateful as I have about out-Googled myself on this one.

As long as it is a similar style and sturdy looking like this one I will be happy. I like the extra bracing on the mounts and the sizing of the bar itself.

Is that the actual one that was on your car?

I have the exact same nismo one but in black and it comes with intergrated master brake cylinder stopper.

You can try importmonster or slidewizeimports. Google those names.

Yep that is the actual brace that was "taken". Picture was taken while still in Japan.

If anybody sees it for sale (fairly obvious clearcoat peeling) I would be interested to know.

Already looked at both those but the insurance people would rather deal with a business that actually holds stock, not buys from auctions apparently.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
