Bell Raceworks Differential Brace



Bell Raceworks Differential Brace for the 350Z/G35

Anyone ever install one of these on the G35 sedan?
I ended up picking one up for a decent price, but the problem I'm having is the trunk hangs down in front of the sub frame on the sedan, preventing me from being able to slide the bolt and metal tube into the existing hole.

I've thought about dropping the back 2 sub frame supports but wasn't sure if the sub frame would be able to support the weight of the differential without breaking or if the front sub frame bushings would allow the rear to drop enough for me to slide the bolt in.
I was hoping someone might have some experience and would be willing to share some knowledge.

After talking to someone on IG who gave me some great info, I ended up jacking the car up from the side to give myself more room to work and jamming my hand up in between the sub frame and differential to insert the bolt from the other side.

There isn't much room to work but the bolt will go in, and then you simply slide the sleeve over the bolt from the other side and install the brace. Easy job, looks good, and hopefully will keep the diff bushing from blowing out on me.
