Man, your car must be pretty loud if you're trying to do something like this....I like the sound of your car from the videos but I'm sure in person they're really loud...do you think your car will lose any power if you add those bullet mufflers?

 

its really not that loud, about like the stillen and I'm happy with it now but don't want it any louder so I'm thinking if I want hfs's, I'm going to need those bullets for a tad more noise reduction.

shouldn't hurt power at all as they're straight thru, no restriction whatsoever.

 

Don't take that video for absolute truth. It's been well known for some time that Nissan's 4 wheel steering systems has been nothing but a nuissance to aggressive driving with advanced drivers. In every day driving it's probably a pleasant feature and if that's all you bought the car for, then it would be nice to have. I deliberately didn't want it because I'll be auto crossing and tracking mine on occassion and I'll need to be able to have the ability to achieve throttle induced oversteer. (if I ever put on enough miles to break it in first )

 

it is a different driving "feel" esp with over steer. you have to compensate for the cars compensation

 

How do you guys keep the underside so clean!?!?!?

 

luck.... i don't do anything special except opt for the underside wash in the car washes... when that picture was taken, my car was about a week old... so I'm kind of blowin smoke in that post up there.... lol

 

what part of the country are you from?

i have snow and salt to deal with in the winter

 

North Texas. No salt here. I'm originally from Steamboat, CO, so I know about snow, salt & gravel and stuff. None of that around here tho, we get one or two little ice storms but I'm in my truck on the really crappy weather days.

 

oh cool, ha i never noticed that little gizmo up there, thanks

 

Just going to add, my GT Spec strut bar was delivered today as well. Might get that put on tonight!!

 

Please let us know how you like it. I've always wondered why they'd put a strut tower bar on the 350z but not ours. Obviously it could benefit from one.

 

will do. honestly, i'm not expecting a lot of difference but we'll see.

 

My GTSpec bar makes my tanabe underbrace look like poo. Curious question, nissan always recommends to replace the bolts you remove, did you get a new set?

 

Yea, there's not much to the Tanabe under brace. GT Spec is supposed to have a full array of under body bracing for the new sedan coming available soon.

The only parts I have are what came with the new pieces. I did not order any bolts from Nissan. My tanabe brace came with zero bolts so I was intending to reuse the bolts per tanabe's instructions. I haven't opened the box for the strut brace yet, so not sure what's in there.

 

Yeah tanabe instructions say to replace the bolts(i think i threw the install sheet out.
