does anybody know a way to reinforce this rusted *** piece under my radiator in my 95 240. i would like some suggestions rather than pay nissan $95 for a new one.

not sure why this is in the RB forum, but a nismo power brace will replace the TC rod bracket thats rusted. and it will also stiffen the front end.

gotta love saltwater and the awesome corrosion it brings.i'd say either junkyard a s14 and cut the support off or get a brand new one thru nissan...either way its a cut and weld affair, not hard if you have access to the tools but not fun either way.
