[berzerker]

hi all

cheers

[edwin]

anyone interested?

>>>we are direct with stillen, but we highly recomend using the GT spec strut bar or the NRG strut bars instead.

>>>the GT spec will run you $225 shipped to AU.

>>>Stillen's bars have had fitment issues in the past so we've semi stayed clear of them.

>>>please let me know if you have any one else interested perhaps we can do a group buy and save on shipping >>>overall???

>>>thank you!

it is pretty ok as i've been using it for half year already, but to tell u the truth, it's just for look! haha

if u want something to improve ur handling, get sway bars.

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post - but how long ago did you recieve that reply from Tony @ riverside infiniti?

I placed an order with them for something over a month ago, still not arrived and they've been ignoring me.. paypal dispute in progress but no response to that either.

Yeah i'm keen for a NRG strut bar "coupe"

got that reply tuesday,

and my spacer... paid it monday and received it after 5 days!

here's another reply for GB:

>>>the GT spec bar will be $1070 for QTY 5 shipped out to you overseas.

>>>this is roughly $214 each bar AFTER shipping...

>>>please let me know you can email me directly at [email protected] as well.

>>>thank you

but I'm not sure if I'll go ahead with the strut bar... like what fox said! "no improvement on handling"

[BLISTC]

if you take your car to the track there is an improvement on handling, due to the reduced chassis flex etc. when putting the extreme stresses on your car from fast cornering.

the stiffer the chassis, the better the car will be around the corners. and with a heavy car like the v35, all things will help.

sway bars make much more of a NOTICEABLE difference.

(ps if anyone in sydney need help installing their motordyne iso thermal spacer, i can do it for you - pm me)

b.t.w guys there's two separate forum threads for Strut bars & Sway bars on G35 Driver that compares models from different manufacturers. Some strut bars will foul your bonnet whilst others may not give access to damper adjustable coilovers, worth doing some research.

[V35_Paul]

Just paid for my NRG strut bar. 6 to 10 working days and i'll have it. i'll keep you guys posted with any noticeable difference.

I'm looking for support when i drive up and down "crazy" kerbs in Geraldton WA. I can hear my bodykit squeak when i pull in and out of driveways.

do you have a plenum spacer?

let me know how you go with the installation

looking at Fox's Strut bar tonight, it will not fit with the stock engine cover + spacer

might fit just with the spacer

Put it on on the weekend. it fits

if you had spacer and cover on it would not fit. But just the spacer is fine. It's only mm's between plemun and hood of the car.
