Ok i got a strut bar for christmas for the 240 and sice ive droped an rb25 in it dosent fit.It almost does but it hits the throttle cable pulley.So i was wondering if any of you have done this and if you could post some pics of how/what you had to do to make themj work.thanks in advance.

I know that Nico member 'RotorPimp' fabricates his own bars for sale to members. And they clear everything and are hella sturdy.

I was able to Drill new holes and slightly twist mine to fit! Its an effort but will work with a little modification!

Hey whats the name/model of that cusco front brace?

Not a very good picture but its all I have at the moment.



I just took my brackets and used a vice and a torch with a big ole hammer

so do i heat it up were the bar mounts to the strut mounts and puch them forward and up.thanks for the picture.

Ya be sure to put a bolt through the hole to keep the tabs lined up!

You will have to do the process several times to get it all to line up correctly. The Drivers side is going to mount very close to the Master cylinder. Be sure to do it first. Took me about and hour to get it to line up correctly and fit nice.

[leesredgt]

so did you push yours backwards and then up,is that the reason its close to the master cylinder?or is i because yo rotated the mount so much.sorry for the question i just want to be sure before i go bending stuff.

thanks alot

[rb25drag]

Can you send me a picture of your bar?

Maybe this will help a little better. This is the bar I purchased and this is what I done to it.

looks like a mile long of intercooler piping; looks great nonetheless

[rb25drag]

Ya its very very long!!! I know its gotta be un efficient. Prob why I loose a full pound of boost on top end. But its all a poor man can afford!! LOL.

one year Ill afford an intake upgrade to elliminate the piping. Ill find a crashed rb settin in the junk yard with a nice Greddy just laying there dying to get put on!!

[leesredgt]

sorry i didnt get a pic my computer messed up and i couldnt upload anyting for a while and plus i forgot to tkat the pics but i think i got it.i just ended up bending them upslightly and i put the bar on the out side of the mounts and got two bolts that were long enhough to run through both of it still looks good the only difrence is the bar sits to one side of the mounts,it should serve the same purpose i would think.

Anyone happen to know what the model of this cusco strut bar is called?
