cool facts.

i just bought tc brace and fender bracing from jonnie, installed them too fit lie a charm, only issue i had, i msged johnny about his tc braces, later on ill buy the front and rear strut bars, but heres some a bit of useful information.

Nissan 240SX Performance Modification/Chassis Strengthening - Wikibooks, open books for an open world

i bracing i have on my car are all knock off good quality.

fender/tc brace - jonnie
front/rear strut bar - generic
c-pillar bar/"RPS" bottom brace - joels "xpertsnowcraver"

jonnies tc brace is actually higher kinda matching with the sway bar

dont have pics of my other custom ones lol

shaggy sr · 04-06-2012, 11:23 AM

Would they use the existing hole, instead of requiring new holes to be drilled? If so, sign me up.

Someone should replicate the RPS subframe braces. In fact, I am surprised no one has yet. It is a really simple part that would sell quite well.

koguchi had this awesome one-off trans tunnel brace

Do-Luck has a trans tunnel brace as well

tacotacotaco · 04-06-2012, 12:14 PM

honestly most braces i've encountered work really well

when the chassis flexes less it allows for the suspension to do all the work

cusco has a video of it on their site... i think of a strut tower bar and compared to the movement of the shock

MadScientist · 04-06-2012, 05:31 PM

rename this threat "Every which way but Flex"

ixfxi · 04-06-2012, 06:47 PM

a lot of these braces are iffy

its dousan said WAY back in the day, better off stitch-welding / rollcage than installing all these bullshit braces - very honda-esque.

i do have the gtr subframe braces though. :P

lflkajfj12123 · 04-06-2012, 06:51 PM

dousan also didn't drive his car on the street

i don't weld nor would i pay someone to stitch weld my car

full bolt in roll cages are really cool on a street car but prob something i don't see myself buying either

bolt on bars look cool and offer some of the same benefits as the stitch welded option

Tanabe Fender Brace:

NeXt Miracle Cross Brace, Cusco 6 point cage & Cusco add-on bar:

Fred Allen Burge · 04-06-2012, 07:08 PM

I think if I made a bar to connect any two random points on my S13 I could sell them on here as long as someone said it "made a difference", hmm....

lflkajfj12123 · 04-06-2012, 07:13 PM

are you some kind of genius?

Moonface roof brace, unfortunately for non-sunroof S13/S14 only.

Great way to have a literal splitting headache...

usdm180sx, I love what you did with the privacy cover with the Miracle!
You gave me a lot to think about now! Haha

Here's mine.

Cedarcbr · 04-07-2012, 10:21 PM

Are these things still available, and did they really make a difference?

[/QUOTE]

I got mine. Pretty noticeable difference, but not mind-blowing like he promised.

Cedarcbr · 04-07-2012, 10:26 PM

well thats fucked, i never did see mine or hear from the guy, i know its a lame thing to bitch about but still a little bitter. lol

corry29 · 04-07-2012, 11:58 PM

I hope someone is able to answer this and hope my post/question doesn't get ignored,

Basically this is the whole Miracle bar set.

Does anyone happen know if I can just run the upper bar and the lower bar as a simple C pillar bar and rear strut bar without the Miracle crossbar?

Thanks for the compliment. You could but there would be no triangulation which is the ideal way to stiffen up the chassis.

I see, so basically it will be the same/function like any other car with just a two piece simple rear strut bar and c pillar bar?
