Thread: B14/B15 Front Strut Tower Brace on a B13?

I'm shopping around for a front STB, not finding a great number of options. I know there was the Cusco buy a while back, but in looking at their site I can't seem to find one for the B13, they list the products by the engine, oddly enough, and I didn't see our beloved SR20 listed. The last group buy didn't list a model number, so I can't confirm if any of these fit.

I found a company called G International that sells a 'Ractive Type 8' bar, found this online for $34 at Andys Autosport, but not much detail on that, and the price seems too low to be able to do any good.

If I search for B14 and B15 bars, I find more selection. I know that some B14 bars worked with the B13 chassis, and found a reference to some B15 bars fitting with slight mods (washers, taller bolts, etc), but most of the bars being fitted in those threads are no longer available, so I'm really just looking for generic advice here on fitment.

My application is an NA motor, no turbo.

I believe the cusco adjustable one people put on the b13 is for a gtir.

Search for N14 chassis

Since that model wasn't offered in the US, hard to find parts here for that. What I'm really wanting to figure out is if the B15 bar can fit, I may be able to find one in a local salvage yard that has the factory bar from Nissan intact. I haven't had a chance to take any measurements yet to see if that looks possible or not though.

There's another Cusco bar, other than the GTiR one, that fits a B13. @happynole ran a few Group Buys for them, do a search for them, and you may find the answe.

Cusco os. $200 compared to the 160 for the gtir one.

No, not the Type OS. There's are two Type ST's, with differences in how close the bend came to the firewall.

This is the exact bar we sold in the group buy
