Does any company make a front upper strut brace for the G?
Like the one on the Z?

Thanks

Their is a rumor that Dc Sports or Stillen are working on one. But, the G does not have the Z's welded on mounting hardware and Infiniti put things in the way, stuff that are not so easy to move out of the way. Those two issues are cause for concern that we will ever see them for our cars.

 

I spoke to one of the guys over at 350zforums a while back because they were advertising the NISMO Strut for the G35 saying that "it will fit with modifications." The response I recieved back was that spacers are required to make it fit, but no worries, they're currently in the process of making their own which will make things much easier. Stillen does have a strut brace out for the rear of the G35 Coupe, but nothing for the front as of yet.

 

The rear like under the car?

 

No, in the trunk connecting the two shock towers. Cutting of the trunk interior would be required.

 

I spoke to them after they mad that absurd claim, they now understand that a oem 350Z front STB cannot be installed onto a G35. If you try, you will have no where to mount it. The G does not have the Z's required welded on mounting tabs. The G routes it's power supply out of the battery compartment so it's in the way. The G routes is A/C return lines with a supporting brackets so they are in the way. Not things that can be solved with a spacer or simple modification. Any bar that comes out would have to overcome these issues, plus Nissan avoiding mouting the bar onto the top of the shock mounts for a reason.
