would Factory Spec R boot brace bolt into Spec S body?

[- 0h -]

hi, I'm just wondering whether the Spec R factory boot brace would bolt into my Spec S body?
I went to look at my boot but i couldn't see any spot where i could put the brace on?

thanks
Oh

the boot brace goes at the very back of the boot. There are also braces just behind the fuel tank as shown in the pictures.

I don't seem to find the spot where the nuts would bolt onto...
that's weird..maybe they only made for Spec R chassis..

 

[meddler]

The chassis is the same, maybe they just didn't drill the holes in the spec S.

Yep check for the holes, if it's there then make sure it's threaded too - then it'll be a quick bolt on install

went to have a look on my boot, there wasn't any holes or threads for the strut to olt onto...
Nissan probably didnt drill the holes for Spec S body..

Is there any black round stickers in the boot floor? You can aften find threaded holes under them. Found a couple extra holes in my boot which I used to fit my battery

yep...i found the black plastic thingys on the floor...
will try pull them out and see if theres any thread

Was there?

I'm also looking to see whether this will work. I lifted a couple of the black stickers (not the black bungs), and there were threaded holes underneath, however, just not had time yet to make sure that they are mirrored on both sides!

 

[Luddy-C]

If there were a couple of them then I'd imagine they'd all be there. Will have a look later on too

can you still get the rear boot Spec R strut brace form Nissan?

 

[DeanS15]

if you cant its a very inexpensive thing to have made i'd imagine, just two pices of drilled flat plate with a bar welded between the two....one thats been made may even be stronger than the nissan item/more rigid....

I have an Spec S and the previous owner fitted all the Spec R braces. Knowing him i bet the car bringed the holes as he was too scare to even put a little bit of glue in the oem shifter knob to hold into the 5 speed tranny. I'll check tho and let you know!

Sorry to revive a super old thread, but better to revive than start a new one, right?

Did anyone get a definitve answer for this? Looking at buying one

It is the same shell, I can't see why not..

 

[DeanS15]

Look in the boot, if there are 2 m8 (from memory) threaded holes on the tops of the chassis rails each side then you have the mounting points for the brace, there will also be spare holes around the front area of the wheel well for bracing to look for, there's a chance the unused holes will have a circular sticker covering them. Jdm garage uk should have a full set of spec r braces as they are breaking my old car.

 

[Veslux]

I have a Spec S and the Spec R boot brace installed, its definitely plug & play.
