I don't think so~

[FoxV35]

just wondering had anyone installed it on their v35?

i had a stillen one on my car, it was GREAT and made a HUGE difference to handling

the 350Z ones are NOT the same. they actually come with one from the factory and it does NOT fit our car

Warren,

I still have your Stillen one sitting in my garage...took me close to two hours and a lot of cursing two weeks ago and stripped a nut on the strut tower (the one on the passenger side hardest to get to). Will have to find time to remove tht stripped nut to install it.

nooooooooo

jon, what did you do?

it took me 15 mins to install, and even less to uninstall!

3 bolts either side. drivers side was unobstructed, passenger side i removed one bolt to get a hose out of the way..

if you can't install it. You can sell it to me the Sturt bar

Sorry to disappoint...installed it today on the 300GT, so the wife can have increased handling when bringing the groceries home

Removing the 3 bolts each side was easy this time round, but getting the damn thing on the passenger side was a bit of a pain. Warren, I had to change the settings a bit from yours as I believe the coupe and sedan may be slightly different. No way they were gonna fit with your settings.

[FoxV35]

ahh...jealous jealous~

it looks nice. but do you have to take the engine cover off? hey. where did u get the bar? i soooo wanna hav one on my coupe~ lol

Yes, the engine cover will need to come off. I have a 350z engine cover to replace. Strut was from Warren (WazR32Gtst)

well done mate looking good.

[FoxV35]

Warren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where did u get those struts? haha~

[whtbox]

hey Fox'

If you are interested you can get one from USA like the NRG brand. They are made to fit with the stock Engine cover and the cheapest one. I got one quoted US$225 shipped from USA.

So maybe a group buy? lol.

haha~ good idea~!

but i think the NRG brand only has 2 bolts either side, (not sure) lol~is there any other brands you know? if we group buy maybe should get a better one~ lol i saw a GT SPEC one on US ebay, but im not sure if it will fit the stock engine cover, and not sure if it's better~ lol.

btw. where r u? haha

I'm in Melb.

The other brand i know is ARC. I read the people in US really swears that the NRG are good. but i don't know.

I just don't justify to spend a Sturt bar for nearly AU$500 unless we as Whiteline to make one for us.
