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)

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
