Yes...I bet the 370 is different. The G coupe rear sway is probably different too

Different in terms of stiffness/thickness or design?

Because Hotchkis sways fit all the V36's and Z34's.

wow, thanks

i want OEM, because I cant get an aftermarket front sway. I dont want the rear to be SUPER stiff and have the front as is.

^ good question....
I just noticed in this pic from Maz.
His rear diff has additional cooling fins under the dif where the M brace mounts.


Maz's ▲with the rear "tie brace"
Mine ▼ with the rear M brace.


This may only be on the hot climate cars, IDK.
I would definitely confirm if you have the cooling fins or not before ordering the M brace.

Intgr8r, is that the updated M brace? Your car is looking nice and stiff there

I noticed that the 370Z has a big brace that joins the rear subframe to the center chassis from factory. Neither the G coupe nor the sedan have this. If Nissan engineers put a brace there then there's probably quite a bit of flex without it. You can see it below painted black.

^ yes, mine is the revised M brace.
Fits the FI exhaust with lots of clearance.

Nice find re: the 370Z brace.

When looking at mine last time it looks near to impossible for me to install it and I really wanted the M-brace because it doesn't add any reduction in ground clearance, I'm worried that the 4 and 6 point braces would rub
