Just a heads up for you all:
http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...oducts_id=4603

I'll be installing one shortly when I get my car back from the body shop...

 

Interesting... first time I've heard of something like this... anybody have any experiences with this brace?

 

finally someone makes them....but still i dun think they are very good design doesnt cross and protect places

 

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.

 

Cusco makes a generic brake cylinder stopper. Tony, is your's Z33 specific?

 

Interesting. Please let us know your impressions after the install.

 

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.

 

I have one on my Z32 and it works.

 

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 wonder if it will work with the ARC strut bar

 

Isn't this simalar to the one stillen makes?

 

Yes, it's the same.

 

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.

 

i'm having mine put on at the shop right now with my other stuff. Probably can't feel anything until you drive the living **** out of your car on the track is what I'm assuming

 

Your probably right, the whole install took me 1/2 hour and I'm not skilled, So don't let them charge you for more than an hours work.
