Do you guys actually feel a difference with the strut bar? As far as I understand it can't make a difference unless its connected to the firewall in a triangular shape..

I didn't, but I don't have a crash bar so something is better than nothing.

New question: Does anyone know the color code of the wiring going to either one of the cooling fans? The wires attached directly to the fan shroud are merely extensions and don't match that of the harness. Looking for the wiring coming directly from the harness. Can't find the schematic in the FSM.

Was your vehicle in an accident? I had a strut bar in an old mr2 of mine. I took it off, later had a pretty decent accident which shifted my frame and the strut bar wouldn't fit afterwards. I experienced the same issue you described

Here's the wiring color for the fans from the harness, I need to know which set of wires go to which fan.

BLUE-white
YELLOW-red

It will fit perfectly but here's the secret. You have to have both bases loose to attach the bar correctly. Leave some play in the nuts/bolts on each side of the bases then hook up the bar. You'll have enough play to get everything to fit, then tighten the bases to the strut towers and lastly tighten down each side of the bar. Took me a bit to figure this out.

I had loosened both bases the first time and it didn't help. Finally got it on tonight by completely removing one of the bases and forcing it into position. I still say its a crappy fit.

G35 coupe caliper covers?

The brake calipers on my car currently look exactly like this, both front and rear.

http://www.allnissaninfinitiparts.co...or-caliper.jpg

It looks unfinished and that bugs me.

I've read a few posts on here about getting G37 sport brakes? I assume they mean these?
http://www.nissanraceshop.com/image/...1001-jl02a.jpg

Would this G37 brake setup fit on my 03 G35 coupe? If this doesn't work, could I get some suggestions thrown my way?

Also, I refuse to put any kind of fake plastic/metal whatever cover, or paint onto my G, so please don't suggest them.

Thanks!

Yes Akebonos (the G37s and 370z brake setup will work and lots of people user them on their G's to look sexy). Alternatively OEM Brembo setups are a great upgrade. A used set in good shape can be had for $1000 or less in the marketplace. Thank you for refusing caliper covers
