^ Interesting Taiwan - Summit Racing.

I'm wondering how this fits. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of room between the hood and the engine cover. It looks like this one is much slimmer.




I also wonder what type of improvements would be had with this accessory. I'm very impressed with the lack of body roll on my G35s.

I'm amazed that my sedan handles better than my G35 coupe.

I thought the 07's had better chassis welding and were stiffer than the 1rst gen cars.. ( which were pretty good anyway) these items are probably not needed... unless frequent track or autocrossing is the cars main gig

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to update you on the Circuit Sports Strut Tower Brace...I spoke with the US distributor for Circuit Sports and they let me know they are expecting the braces to be available in mid-Feb with a price between $135-$150.

Will Circuit Sports also have a brace for the sedan? From the pic, it's the coupe.

Yup, I e-mailed them last week, and they said they will have the Strut Bars for both the G37 and G35 sedans!

Upper Tower Bars.........?

The difference between all of the upper strut bars on the market is that most
like Stillens are not adjustable enough to install items like plenum spacers. So
you buy a strut bar now and a year down the road you want that extra 15 HP
from a spacer......understand? Richies upper strut bar is totally adjustable
and fits my 1/2" MotorDyne spacer which most wouldn't.........

From what I hear from MotorDyne and others here, with the newly designed upper plenum in 07+ HR engines the spacer will not net the gains it did for the older models. The new plenum's are composite plastic and were designed to eliminate the poor flow to the back 2 cylinders. MotorDyne and the other spacer companies I talked to have no intention at least in the short term to make spacers for the 07+. Although your point is well taken, especially down the road when they start making superchargers for the HR.

Any idea when a Richies adjustable bar will be available for the 07 models??

Richies will not fit the 07/08 sedan in it's current iteration. Follow the group buy thread for details.
