I have not had experience with this particular item. However from experiences with my honda in the past, these make a decent difference in hard braking situations.
Even many of the honda brackets or boosters do not protect anything. They are all esentially the same design, just of course different mounting points on various cars.

Yes this one is Z33 specific. I'm unsure if it would work for the G35 due to bolt locations and such.
I'm waiting on the bracket and bolts to come back from the chrome shop, and then i'll be installing the parts.
i'll let you know.

Exactly how is it installed, I did have someone hit the brakes and I did'nt observe the master cylinder move at all, so what is the brace supposed to do for us? and is it worth the money?

I just received my Stillen master cylinder brace today and followed the instructions. The overlay showing where to cut the hole for the brace to go through from the mounting bracket was dead on. The whole install took 1/2 hour. The only problem encounted was the adjustable arm was to long, I cut 3/8" from it and it was perfect fit. I still don't know how well it works or if it's worth the money but since I put new cross-drilled and slotted rotors and stainless steel lines on what's another $135.00 Right.

Do you have an aftermarket STB installed w/ the brace ?

I still retained the original strut bar in place no problem. I found that to drill the hole for the brace bar to go through I used an extra long extension on the hole saw and went in from the front under the strut bar rather than going in from behind by the master cylinder (make sure you have real sharp hole saw and pilot drill it makes life easier.
