how much are my Ultra racing frame braces worth? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

yungjon23 · 08-05-2012, 07:55 PM

I have a full frame brace kit from UltraRacing (front to back) for my s14.

I can't really find anyone selling these, from what I know they are pretty hard to find.
I might be parting out my car soon, and I'm curious to find out what they're worth. They're good stuff, and they are in good condition besides a few scrapes.

thanks guys!

Try Bing instead, should fix your problem.

I have them, they sent them to me for free. So i run them. why not. I sold the front one cause it didnt clear with my motor at the time.

*brndck* · 08-05-2012, 09:46 PM

well, they're worth half the retail price. maybe 3/4 of retail if they're still super clean and the paint isnt chipped. ultra racing was another straight-from-ebay brand. their quality was decent tho. i'd take them over godspeed any day. just because they aren't making new stuff doesn't mean that your are worth more; not like theres some outrageously high demand for them.....

I bought I front brace for my car. It wasn't a direct fit but with a small cut it fit like a glove. I do feel less understeer on corner exit and it saved my oil pan more than a few times. I paid 110 for it shipped and I think it's well worth it

blueshark123 · 08-05-2012, 10:31 PM

Ill pick them up for the right price

Nothing special when you get get them new with free shipping on Ebay. Company head quarters are located Malaysia, China. They have a US office in socal, Ontario, CA I believe. Nothing rare about them, they do make some interesting braces that no other company offers.

Malaysia and china are two different countries, fyi

These?

Is so, friend has them on his s13; mounting points appear to a little weak and it hangs too low.
They wouldn't work on a slammed car.

SuperBlackS14 · 08-07-2012, 09:10 AM

I was actually curious about these too, especially since they do seem to have stuff no one else does...

Anyone have more info?

BOROSUN · 08-07-2012, 12:02 PM

garbage, all their braces (except strut braces) are made for 4x4 cars.

*ManoNegra* · 08-07-2012, 12:28 PM

lol, no these are not going to let you win the "Do You Think You Can Stance" competition at the next car show you scrape/bounce your car to but I would go as far as calling them garbage.

SuperBlackS14 · 08-07-2012, 12:35 PM

Wanted them more for the rigidity than the show car looks lol. My car isn't that low anyways. Quality of welds, fitment, decreases in NVH subjectively, that sort of info lol. I know you get what you pay for in this game, but they're priced close to GREX and GT Spec bars for strut bars...

BOROSUN · 08-07-2012, 12:59 PM

i didnt buy it for stiffness which i doubt helped, mainly as a extra protection for my pan (which they also advertised it as some sort of protection).

it just not made for lowered car with big sway bars and such. its like they did the fab off a stock car.

SuperBlackS14 · 08-07-2012, 07:18 PM

Alright, anyone else want to weigh in? (Sorry for thread jack, but I guess it's tangentially related because we're establishing that they have value or not)
