s14 butterfly brace

[clark]

i've personally been looking into bracing myself.

my personal opinion is if you do an X brace to connect the frame rails under your S chassis, i think it WILL make a difference. this is only speculation, however i feel others will agree.

i remember something about S15s having addtional bracing in the tranny tunnel and under there more so than S13s and S14s. i searched quick, i can't remember where i saw pictures of that.

if you want to brace, definitly do fender braces and a nismo power brace. i just made my own nismo power brace, and there are huge benefits.

ooohhh i see i see, i just want to get the maximum amount of chassis stiffening and stuff like that without needing a cage. and boltable stuff =) so if i ever wanna sell it of course i can =). i saw that s15 tranny brace before too.

my real question is how would we common folk measure the amount of stiffness increase u know. doubt we'd have the tools to do it though =(

There was a Japan company that made a similar piece that was later copied over here, used to see them on Ebay. It bolted into the rails and tied into the front crossmember. It's been a few years sine I've seen anything but a good welder could mock up something quick without having to pay out the ass for ultra rare JDM only parts or their shitty US knockoffs.
