R33 Centre Brace Bar?

I've got my hands on a "centre brace bar" for an r33. I may have been living under a rock, but I'm not too familiar with it, or more to the point, I'm not sure if its even going to do anything... It looks like it bolts behind the front seats inside the car and runs along the floor, with an adjustable section in the middle like a strut brace under bonnet. I'll take a photo of it when I get home but I'm a little curious whether it's worth me pulling up carpet and then cutting holes in it to fit. Or whether it's just going to be one of things you show your mates and let them tell you how shines it is.

i dont see how this part of the chassis has enough flex to warrant a brace. its not like a cage that braces all 4 corners near suspension pick-up points (or at least tie the rear 2 corners to the centre of the car)

i see this brace doing nothing, and i was under the impression it did just that.

Haha! I figured it was a little odd. I laid it in the car to see how it fitted and it was terrible anyway. This one seems to be hollow, so i don't think it would take any body flex even if there was any in that area.

      Wheel refurb?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster.

      I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240

      Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.
