steve.m Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Cusco strut brace for sale. This came off my TT and i'm unsure if it will fit an N/A. Offers around £65. Would prefer collection but delivery could be arranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 No sorry i said i'm not sure if it will fit an N/A. All it has on it is JZA80. I'm in corfe mullen if you want to pop over and give it a test fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 surely that must be quite weak having threads in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 surely that must be quite weak having threads in the middle? You need that to adjust tension and/or minor fitment issues:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 A strut brace is only there to stabilize not to take any real force so you'll be hard pushed to break it! I'm sure Cusco would of done there testing on in to be sure it's up to the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 so what is the difference between an expensive strut and a cheap strut? they would both do exactly the same right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Why wouldn't it fit an N/A? Both the TT and N/A and the same model (like the steve said - JZA80). It should fit both. And a more expensive strut, I'm assuming would be a stronger strut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 but if there is a thread in the middle it would only be as strong as the thread, which I would imagine is not as strong as a cheaper solid bar..? I am asking because I am interested by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Why wouldn't it fit an N/A? Both the TT and N/A and the same model (like the steve said - JZA80). It should fit both. And a more expensive strut, I'm assuming would be a stronger strut. Same body and chassis, completely different engine, IIRC it's an issue with engine component placement, won't clear the manifold on an n/a etc..

Supranature Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 NA bar will fit TT. TT bar will not fit NA because of the shape and size of the intake system.Probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 A strut brace is only there to stabilize not to take any real force so you'll be hard pushed to break it! I'm sure Cusco would of done there testing on in to be sure it's up to the job. Yup, if you are putting enough strain to cause a strut bar issues the wheels would be going everywhere Why wouldn't it fit an N/A? Both the TT and N/A and the same model (like the steve said - JZA80). It should fit both. And a more expensive strut, I'm assuming would be a stronger strut. Intake sits much higher, and they snag on it. Just to say I had this brace on my old Supra and it is excellent. The fact that you can tension it up means it is a lot more function than form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
