Steering response is quicker. Bought it at THMotorsports online.

that's a good deal. I wonder if it would fit with a Kinetix SS manifold. They never say.

Looks to fit so tight it probably doesn't fit with a plenum spacer installed .

Fitted some Z1 25mm spacers on the rear with my 235/50/17 tires and rolled the fender lip. Drifted the car and rode it hard to make sure all ways good and solid.
Polished the upper Plenum to get it ready for painting.
Cut a hole in my hood as the NWP TB has had my hood vibrating because it hits thanks to the Motordyne spacer raising the height of the plenum.
More coming next 2 weeks getting ready for Import Alliance in Atlanta. Burnt copper wheels, 350Z struts, burnt copper upper Plenum paint, front bumper lip, 20mm spacers for front, and having the car Plasti Dip gloss black! All done by me!! Fun fun!

I'm sure he's not running a 25mm motordyne spacer on his plenum.

Nope. Doubt an FSB does much with the stock suspension but once you add larger anti-roll bars, tying it together on top does make the steering feel tighter. I doubt it does anything for handling.

Was more noticeable on my Maximas than my G35 though.

I asked because I saw a engineering explained video where he stated strut bars don't do much for cars with double wishbone suspensions (ours). It's a noticable improvement on macpherson strut suspensions.

id equate that bars usefulness to about that of the stock spoiler on the trunk. Negligible at best

Never said it was a huge difference. They've helped on every car I've put one on. Some more, some less. There is a reason a lot of performance cars come with them stock.

Agree to disagree
Many will agree the most productive setup is the triangle-Esque version that connects to the firewall as well

I'm wondering if everyone that has the 5/6th plenum spacer and throttle body upgrade has had to cut a hole in their hood as well. Because I'll be doing the same upgrades to my coupe.
