anyone interested?

>>>we are direct with stillen, but we highly recomend using the GT spec strut bar or the NRG strut bars instead.

>>>the GT spec will run you $225 shipped to AU.

>>>Stillen's bars have had fitment issues in the past so we've semi stayed clear of them.

>>>please let me know if you have any one else interested perhaps we can do a group buy and save on shipping >>>overall???

>>>thank you!

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post - but how long ago did you recieve that reply from Tony @ riverside infiniti?

I placed an order with them for something over a month ago, still not arrived and they've been ignoring me.. paypal dispute in progress but no response to that either.

got that reply tuesday,

and my spacer... paid it monday and received it after 5 days!

here's another reply for GB:

>>>the GT spec bar will be $1070 for QTY 5 shipped out to you overseas.

>>>this is roughly $214 each bar AFTER shipping...

>>>please let me know you can email me directly at [email protected] as well.

>>>thank you

but I'm not sure if I'll go ahead with the strut bar... like what fox said! "no improvement on handling"

if you take your car to the track there is an improvement on handling, due to the reduced chassis flex etc. when putting the extreme stresses on your car from fast cornering.

the stiffer the chassis, the better the car will be around the corners. and with a heavy car like the v35, all things will help.

sway bars make much more of a NOTICEABLE difference.

(ps if anyone in sydney need help installing their motordyne iso thermal spacer, i can do it for you - pm me)

b.t.w guys there's two separate forum threads for Strut bars & Sway bars on G35 Driver that compares models from different manufacturers. Some strut bars will foul your bonnet whilst others may not give access to damper adjustable coilovers, worth doing some research.

Just paid for my NRG strut bar. 6 to 10 working days and i'll have it. i'll keep you guys posted with any noticeable difference.

I'm looking for support when i drive up and down "crazy" kerbs in Geraldton WA. I can hear my bodykit squeak when i pull in and out of driveways.

v35 paul

do you have a plenum spacer?

let me know how you go with the installation

looking at Fox's Strut bar tonight, it will not fit with the stock engine cover + spacer

might fit just with the spacer

-mark

hey mark,

i've checked , actuelly it will fit 5/16 and 1/2 spacers.

but won't fit stock engine cover

Put it on on the weekend. it fits :(

if you had spacer and cover on it would not fit. But just the spacer is fine. It's only mm's between plemun and hood of the car.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
