    Its been discussed before on here but i can't remember where and my memory is a little hazy.

    But im pretty sure S13 braces fit with a little (2mm) elongation to the bolt holes. I did have a better picture but can't find it. Heres a not so good pic below. Someone else will be able to confirm the S13 compatability.

    If the RA65 engine bay and strut towers are the same as an RT142 then a RA23 strut brace will fit.

    Just buy a cheap s13 brace. You will have to cut down the bar a little and bore out the centre bit by about 2-3mm, you dont need to touch the bolt holes. There is an enginebay pic in my members ride thread of one side installed. Never got around to doing the whole thing. Expect to spend a bit of time with a grinding wheel on the centre though.
