Thank terry will give you the money on the tech night

Great Bobby. Now, out of this Ti strut brace, $250 will be going to an Aussie Reg'd Charity.

See you at Tech Night at J.E.M. this Wed :)

Congrats to the new owner! I've seen the brace in person and the workmanship is fantastic. It is expensive for a brace, but that is the going rate for these things - check out the Yahoo Japan auctions and you'll see the older style ones like Terry's going for around $3K.

With regard to the label thing, The black label / red label remark is just a reference to the logo on the top of Terry's style of Nismo brace; his label is black; the "red label" is just the later Nismo logo which has the red "rising sun" for an "O". AFAIK the brace itself is no different.

Bobby's brace like he said is supposed to only be available for cars that were built in the Omori factory, and there was a choice between two labels, a black one that said Omori Factory and the Nismo logo. It's just a coincidence that these labels also happen to be either black or red. You can find details on them here / http://www.nismo.co.jp/omori_factory/original_menu/ttb/index.html

As EM1 said it's also aimed at people who have either got every other mod on their car, or are happy with every other mod on their car, or both. So it's a finishing piece and it's not going to be for everyone, but it does really set the engine bay off very nicely.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
