So I fitted this over the last weekend.

I have looked at this brace a few times and wondered how much impact it would make. But I hadn't known anyone to do it to ask.

Have you done the OX rear bar and daleo front bar? If so did it have a similar change as they do?

So I fitted this over the last weekend.

Does it do anything?

It looks like it's supposed to attach to the body somewhere, but with the HICAS rack activated; I don't expect that would be a good idea at all.

So we took the car for a spirited driving on a motorway, long winding roads and back roads. All I can say is the handling is much improved overall, especially less twitching at the rear end. I do have the front underbrace and top strutbrace. I guess every little bit helps.

bought a cheap Greddy intelligent informeter touch, the touch screen is broken. ordered new touch screen from aliexpress.com and all sorted now.

Winning!

How cheap was cheap?

around $160-170. I saw some guys here bought new for $500?

I think mine was around $400 or so when I bought it several years ago (with good US exchange rate), so that's a damn good find.

I'm assuming the touchscreen was pretty cheap too?

Taking a punt and ordering a Starter Motor for a 2003 LHD Infiniti from the US...

It mounts on the drivers side as oppose to the passengers so i am hoping it will work out for the manual conversion. The measurements look ok

Also measurements will be taken to get the tail shaft made up and then hopefully once the starter is on it will be a case of bolting everything back together with the 6sp from the 350z in place.

Clutch pedal still needs to be sorted and i havent even looked at centre console but i am hoping these are fairly straight forward.

Then will start the ECU head aches:p

(it's totally gonna be worth it)

Practical mods are the best kind, right?

Finally got the roof racks fitted to the stag, after the roof rack superstore stuffing me around for 2 weeks.

Both of the sunroof's still open which is nice, except its super noisy thanks to the racks. Might have to invest in one of those wind deflectors...if they actually work.

Will be fitting an awning to it in the coming weeks to, for the weekends away!

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
