Sarin, I see that you used a 3rd gen FSTB, and I understand that you can do this because you swaped to a full 3rd gen suspension. But my question is when you did this did you have to drill new holes to mount the strut mount studs (the studs that come thru the strut tower, and then held down by a nut)? Or did the third gen strut mount fit in the factory holes? The reason I am asking is just to see if a third gen FSTB will fit our car without modification.....In my eyes it should fit if you still used the factory holes for the rubber strut mounts.

max95q

iTrader: (10)

Ill buy one from ebay and check, if it doesnt I can always sell it. Ive been wondering about this and I see Sarin actually did it. Im curious too. I have a custom rigged FSTB and I wouldnt mind getting a non rigged actual fstb.

max95q

iTrader: (10)

Cardana Im trying to catch you in posts...stop posting.

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

The front struts, spring seats, strut mounts, thrust seat, and tophat are still 2nd gen parts. So had to modify the brackets to fit. That meant increasing the size of the inner most hole on the bracket and redrilling the mounting holes for the strut bar becasue the 3rd gen bar is actually wider.

S

cardana24

iTrader: (81)

ehhhh?.....^^^^^

Sarin, which one fit better? The 3rd gen bar or the altima bar? Which one was easier to modify? And if you could just tell me how you had to midify each on to make them fit, and can you use simple tools? Does it look like it was made for the car once you are done or is it rigged up? Which one has better clearence on the EGR valve? Sorry for all the questions, I would like to get a FSTB and would like to get the one that will fit best .

max95q

iTrader: (10)

I think the altima one fits the best. He only had the problem with the egr valve because he has an 86. 87's and 88;s dont have that problem because we have different ones. For the altima FSTB's I believe is all he did was modify the strut brackets holes to fit on the strut tower. Sarin, please correct me if I am wrong on this.

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

Altima one fits the best as far as size, and minimal modifications to the brackets (you just widen one of the holes with a dremel.

The 3rd gen one clears the EGR valve better. The 3rd gen one can be made to look like it was made for the car if you drill your holes right. I'll try to post some pics on this.

Here is a pic of the mount. The bolt nearest to the bar had to be enlarged:


I still need to find pics of the newer bar since I currently have it out of the car right now. (my engine mounts need to be filled).
