It will definitely fit a PNM35; I made one for Alex's (PN Mad) HKS fed beast in the last run.

The only issue will be delivery cost; I can get a shipping quote, and them we can go from there. Shoot me a PM to remind me, and I'll get back to you later in the week.

Cheers, Dale.

Sorry mate I wont be going ahead with this now, as I ended up making my own.

Lol! I didn't really do a pink one, yours is glossy, badass black; just like the rest.

Unwrapping it though... :whistling:

Devo. Here I was thinking I'd have a limited edition colour!

Lolz guise; if I'd realised the demand for pansy pink; I'd have doubled the price & brought out a limited edition...

Update; Braces and mounting hardware are bubble wrapped, in cardboard tubes and labelled for shipping.

Tracking documents all filled in to make life easy for the Post Office chicks, and if possible; they will be going to the Post Shop tomorrow, as I think they still do Saturday morning Parcel drop off.

If not; they will be going in early next week. I'll PM individually with a tracking number once they are on their way.

Thanks again for your patience and support with the group buy; won't be long until you're unveiling my shiny my black rod.

Enjoy lads.

time for another kind of bracing...3-point strut bar? :P

I have another part for stiffness! Need to talk to someone who has a M35 Chassis Jig though!!!!

Anyone got one!!! :domokun:

If I cannot find one I'll setup another Group buy.

P.S. This will take away the need for strutt brace......not that we needed a strutt brace anyway with our chassis but is a need!!! :cheers:

It definitely makes a difference, so why not!

I am curious though how much of a difference the chassis brace is going to make when I've already got the strut brace.

I am curious though how much of a difference the chassis brace is going to make when I've already got the strut brace.

Considering most of the steering & braking forces are channeled through the compression rod (piano); which is right next to where the brace mounts, its effect is quite pronounced.

Double A arm front ends don't load the strut towers in the same way that Macpherson strut arrangements do. Macpherson struts tend to push the strut towers toward each other as they compress; which effect camber & caster (and therefore contact patch).

Double A arms tend to direct the forces more efficiently upward; rather than inward, and the arms and shocks actually work better; so a strut brace has a lesser effect. Not NO effect, just LESS effect.

When you see how little support our chassis rails have (the crossmember is about a foot further forward); and how much force is directed diagonally back into them, you start to understand why such a simple brace makes such a big difference.

I know it might sound like I'm just pushing my barrow; but it does work, and it works well.

If I was able to fit the bar to your car, and get you to drive a course; then take it off (but not tell you), get you to drive the same course again, you'd know instantly that it was gone.

I have both strut brace and subframe brace. Strut brace did SFA but after taking out the stupid catt mounts (NA models) and fitting the subrame brace, it works wonders. Can not wait for the rear subframe brace

Glad you're happy Matt. ;)

where we up to with the orders for these things, i forgot all about it...

Daleo i think you can make me a front brace before my car is put back together, will it be different with a turbo and no dual cats etc ?

Hi Nate, I think I have a spare one; let me check tomorrow and I'll PM.

Should be fine; if you haven't already done the exhaust, you'll be able to work around the brace.

Scotty has a 3.5" system, with a 2" wastegate pipe running through there, with a brace fitted; so you shouldn't have any great issues.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
