hi,

i dont mean to speak out of turn here, but i have one of these braces - well it looks physically exactly the same - and while i just cannot fault the manufacturing, i have to say that i'm not that impressed with the design ...

once it is installed, you cannot adjust it to make it slightly tighter, you basically make it the right size to fit the shocks on either side, and place it over the bolts, or squeeze it over the bolts, replace the nuts, tighten them up, and that it ... no more adjustment ...

just not a great desigm imho

just my 2c

[wylie]

yeah, true

im getting this one to test it out. if it works out ok then ill be super happy ! seeing that its only $65

i think its defin worth a shot if not mabey ill get the mad scientist to choppy choppy and we can make it better

what are you talking about??? use the alan key bolts to tighten the brace.

[Hiroshima Screamer]

have you got any for R32- R left (front) ?

[tang0]

ahh, this one must be different then ... couldnt see ANY method of tighening the one i have ... will pull it all apart and replace the existing bolts with allen heads ...

sorry if i put anyone off, i was in the wrong ...

cheers

Hiroshima Screamer : My supplier has heaps left. But I wait till I have enough people to make the group buy, then I go and get a batch. If you want, the next batch I get I will get r32 front for you?

[Hiroshima Screamer]

sounds good mate , thanks

You don't need to buy allen key bolts. Just where the actual brace meets the bracket you will need to tighten those bolts and that will tighten the brace. Easy

1 R33 left without group buy. For anything else it will be put on the list to be order from the supplier. Takes 1 hr to get the parts.

Just a question, in the picture with the 33, does the brace get into the way when trying to change the spark plugs?

The big silver pipe that goes into the intake manifold, can it still be turned upwards to access spark plugs or is the brace in the way.

Thanks.

[MarkE]

You wouldnt by chance have access to R31 strut braces?

[rmahnovetsky]

gtrGhosTDoGG11: I haven't taken the cover off yet to see if it gets in the way. But I reckon I would have to take it off to get to them. Small price to pay though for better handling.

MarkE: Juls bought an r32 off me for R31 was going to make a small mod to fit it. Dont know the results though. Maybe you can ask.
