240sx strut bar on a ra65 Fri, 19 August 2005 09:52 Go to next message
I found this writeup on using a 240sx strut brace on an ra65 with a little modification. http://www.speedtoys.com/~teranfirbt/240sx.htm

Now what I want to know is are the 180sx and 200sx bars the same as the 240sx bar? It is just that there are not many available for 240sx cheaply.

On the whiteline website it lists their 180sx strut bar able to be used on 240sx as well...does this mean that I can buy something like this

off ebay and use it for the application?

AFAIK if it's an early 240sx... i.e. an S13... then it's the same chassis as other S13s (180sx, 200sx etc). I don't know if the front strut bars are different between s13, s14, s15 etc.

Just read the tutorial again and it says 89-94 which is in fact an s13. So I should just be able to use a 180sx brace.

should be fine, australia never got the crappy 240sx and no one ever imported one because theyre shit.

did i mention theyre shit?

(only because we have too much ca/sr aftermarket support here) but the car itself is the same chassis wise.

How hard are you finding it to do? What tool are you using to grind the metal?
