Default Nismo S Tune Chassis Bracing Kit.

I noticed this bracing kit is part of the JDM 370 Z Nismo S Tune package.

I wonder if these will be a Nismo part in the USA?

the last brace looks like a rear ladder bar, the middle one looks like it goes under the car and the first one looks like it might go under the hood, in the front fascia or maybe it goes in the hatch.

I just hope they have a Nismo Performance Part number for USA 370 buyers to install them and an affordable price-the bracing in the Nismo Z Model was over the top pricey.

It's Nismo badged, that's a guarantee that it will cost more than most aftermarket brands.

But at least it fits and is well thought out.

Half the aftermarket stuff I have bought requires filing, bending etc. to fit.

True, but sometimes Nismo parts are just other aftermarket parts rebadged and premium added. Not that I'm bagging on Nismo parts, its just that the high price doesn't always mean its the best.

Oh and I found a price for that brace kit: $1477

I got that from MC's thread at the370z forum.

well maybe someone will startup a band saw project for the braces.
there are alot of things made for the 300zx from a bandsaw in the Z32 community.

nismo parts are not cheap...

nismo parts will mostly fit right out of the the box...just like most oem parts...

whether or not the premium is always worth it depends on the part.

Thanks for the pricing. At least it is only a couple of hundred more than the dealer was charging just for the forward strut brace on the 350 Nismo.

Still a lot of money.
