Thread: New bracing idea!

that an excellent idea! I'd love to see pics of the finished product

wow. That is a really good idea. There's a few SX's that I'm rather sure are base models up here...If anyone wants to make a trip, haha.

odd thing is...it seems the base is more rare than the se-r on the road. i've only seen one or two base models running around here. that piece of metal only came in the base model b/c of the lack of fold down seats.

hmm i should go to the junk yard and see if i can find one of these

We don't got Folding seats at any MDM Sentra or Lucino (200sx), so this bracket is at all cars & within the years it's bolts loose tightness, so it's good to tight 'em once a year

Also, It's almost mandatory to remove 'em when any rear suspension job is done.

Without bracket (octostat RSTB)

A couple details



That were my 97 GA16'ed B14, I miss 'em, slow but trustable.

That flimsy metal is there for sear support, not for bracing. I recommend a true RSTB.

it's the IKEA solely for shear support? i didn't mean for it to replace a strut brace, just to be an alternative to having a huge chuck of steel sitting over your rear axles.
