Finally got one, I didnt really think it would make much difference, but coming down hill braking, the pedal stayed were I started, there was none of that bit of fade when stopping, feels normal really and mighty glad I did it.

I took a fully detailed drawimg of it before I installed it, but after starting a new job, I cant really fabricate any yet, but if some one wants them or can plot into autocad give me a PM.

I would redesign it so the nut is in front of the plate.

I've seen them attached to the spring mount as well, I imagine that they would be for a track car more so than a streeter, plus the threads may not be long enough with the cusco bar there but it would make good template for it.

I have got something similar that came on my strut bar. Only mine isnt bolted on to theside of the engine bay like yours..... didnt have any bolts handy and there were not any holes (and didnt want to go drilling willynilly). It seems to hold rather firmly and i dont have any brake fade which is good for when i get pressing pretty hard going downhill.

The locknut doesnt fit in there, no room.

The holes were allready there with nuts/thread in them as standard on mine.

Bad thing about these is that pretty soon you get used to the feeling and it doesn't make a 'difference' anymore.

It does when you heel/toe on your downchanges, which I do pretty much all the time as it is smoother. with the flex in the firewall you need to adjust the brake pedal that much higher to overcome the travel before you start to contact the accelerator. This is for the style I use, but if you are double jointed then it's not much problem with it standard (eg Gan San in the BMI videos). Also braided lines and good pads make a huge difference, along with slotted discs.

Nah didnt make it, but want to, they are a fairly simple piece to make and if I could get them plotted into autocad I can get them profile cut, which is 70% of the work, then just got to source the cup bit on end of bolt.

Drawing not to scale. gotta love Paint.

I made my first prototype today, had a drawing and cut up the steel then lost the drawing, I assembled and welded it from memory, only to find it was opposite hand, lol, I now have an example of what not to do hehe, and can get them painted in acid etch black, I still have to find a cup for the end, its something to do in those slow times.

Here is another one I made (the right way this time) I changed from 8mm bolt to a 10 and put it in the flat instead. If you live in SEQld and want one PM me $15, I will discount for club members $10, supply will depend on work loads and demand. I still cant find the cup and looks to be a bit pricey so they wont have them, I wanted to make them out of stainless but my new job doesnt have the materials or equipment and its more a bling thing anyway.

You can do it!

I tired to do a cad drawing but i am missing a dimention. The one that shows the distance form the bottom main plate to the righ hand side. The one on the right is 22mm but i need the opposite side. Also i have modified it a littel so once finished i will post it up.

It looks good. I had to fuge some of the mesurments. I have got a qute to get these laser cut and it will cost about $5 for each item and about $8 in SS.

Just for the R32 owners.

I dont know if this will fit a 32 or what a 32 one looks likes. if you have one on a 32 give me look.

On a side note, one of my workmates told me about repairs he did to fords, he had to weld the master mount back together on quite a few and this mod was added.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
