Looks like you have about an inch from the adjuster to the bracket
But no matter how much you dremel off, it looks like you have to at least take the bar off because the bar sit right on top of the adjuster.

The bar isn't designed to absorb stress in that direction. If you can pull the ends of it and stretch it or squish it to make it shorter, then there's a problem. You would be really strong too.

Are you planning to make other parts for our G35s in the future?
If so, what is it?

If you could make a rear bar for the *sedans*, that doesn't sacrifice much trunk space, then you'd have a huge hit. But I don't know if it's even possible.
Or if you could create a ladder brace like the GTSpec bars that fits the sedans...
