Stock Gtr Front Strut Brace Mounted In A Gts!?

[KrazyKong]

I bought a GTR front strut brace some months back. Went to mount it today and found it's not going to fit. The top of the throttle body is too high and makes contact with the brace.

Am wondering if anyone here has had success in installing one of these?

that pretty much explains itself mate, doesnt clear means doesnt clear unfortunately.

With some spacers/risers bolts it would be possible to fit it I think. Plus shaving off the top of the throttle body where that small hose connects, it looks possible, but it's alot of work and thus was wondering if anyone had done it.

I have a rear GTR brace as well which fit just fine, so wanted to keep both matching. Crap, money down the drain unless I go all out and modify things. Using spacer/riser thingies might not be a good idea too since that could make things weaker for the suspension as well.

spacing the brace up i think will take out some of the work it does to brace your struts, not much but still... depending on how much you space it i guess.

not much you can do mate, personally the loss of modifying a throttle body and spacing the brace up takes away whatever you gained from keeping 2 braces matching.
