Hey, my mate took the front strut brace (width adjustable) off his 94 toyota soarer and basically said i could have it. my question is, is the strut bolt pattern on the soarer the same as on

my R33 / will it fit? Thanks, Nikk

Bolt pattern is not the only thing that could/would stop you from being able to fit it. How about the angle of the suspension tower tops? How about the position of the plenum and crossover pipe in the R33 bay?

Seriously, if there were less of this sort of question posted on here, and more of just grabbing the strut brace and holding it over the engine bay in question, there'd be a whole lot more knowledge gained.

^^^was just going to say the same thing - just grab it and stick it in your engine bay and have a look. If bolt pattern is the only thing holding you back you could redrill them. And let us know how you get on!

having seen the supra engine bay im 100% sure its not going to fit

the strut tower is way bigger than skyline as well

Hahah tried to fit it up today, not a hope in hell lol, could be done if the holes were redrilled but not worth the fuss and the chance of damaging the structural integrety of the bar.

so can you fit a supra/soarer front strut brace to an R33, answer no. (well not without modification)

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
