Only replacements other than oem that i have seen are ultra racing, i have their rear brace. Ebay is the only place i have seen them available.
Thats what I have also, think I got mine off Amazon, they make a replacement for the front brace also but after I wasn't that impressed with the fitment on the rear brace I wouldn't get the front one. I ended up getting a replacement off a rear ended car that was still in good condition.
Side note the G35 front brace is different from the 350z one. Learned that the somewhat hard way.
Took my 2004 350Z Roadster to a track day with Hooked on Driving at Watkins Glen on Monday. On Sunday, it was 98 degrees while I got my car ready, on Monday, it was 60 and rained all day. By the end of the second session there were rivers running across the track in places and ponding in some others, If that wasn't enough, fog kept rolling in and out, but there was only a brief fog delay. Very nerve-wracking for a first-timer, but the experience was still amazing! Instructors were great - very experienced and knowledgeable, and kept it fun, even in less than desirable conditions,

So I take that to mean that you got an OEM replacement off of a rear-ended car, and you never installed the Ultra Racing rear brace? What was the issue - it just didn't line up to the mounting points, or, it hung down too low, or ? Thanks!
dboyz i am suprised you had fitment issues with yours. Mine went in without any issues and have had to R&I the brace a few times to do some other work as well. I actually have more room near my exhaust than i did with the oem.
Bought 2003 OEM Black cloth seats and fitted into my Frost interior 07' Z. I don't know how I feel yet. I think the fade of the seats appears faded and look like a blue hue.
Anyhow, I'm debating on going back to my original frost leather or sell off both sets in favor of two buckets seats, or rock a black cloth passenger with a driver bucket seat. /shrug
Finally got around to installing my MREV2 manifold after patching my spark plug tube seals (hopefully takes care of my OC issue). 66 miles and no codes!

I used the ultra racing one just had to elongate one of the holes to.get it to line up right. Not a huge deal.
And today I finally got the motivation to do my annual oil change. Probably hasn't been 3000 miles but its deff been over a year.
and I actually drive it last night
I picked a good day to wear jeans instead of my normal M-Th work attire...
As I left the driveway this morning, the TPMS warning went off for the Left Rear tire. At first I thought it was just a sensor acting up again, but after stopping to check it, it did look low. I went back home and found that there was an extra-long drywall screw jammed in the center of the tread. Got my tire plug kit out, fixed it, and then got back on the road to work without further issue. The tire then reported a good pressure to the TPMS the whole way.
