GT Spec Tie brace's/Reinforcement bar
 
3 Attachment(s)
Before I start I just wanted to put that these pictures are the property of Performance Nissan and their website..I didnt want to bust any infringement rules or anything.. :p

Ok is anyone running with the GT Spec Front and rear lower tie brace or the Lower lateral reinforcement bar as shown below and if so what improvements have you noticed?

Also do you think the rear lower tie brace will interfere with the Invidia G200 exhaust??

Thanks for the help.

Had the first set in the US on my car - still have them, and love them

If the RSR is a true dual, the lateral bar in the rear fits...if its not, it won't. They used my car to take the measurements for the redesigned lateral bar for non true dual exhausts (I have Fujitsubo for example), but ETA is a ways off

so do u really feel a difference with these things?...i thought the Z chassis is pretty stiff as is and i am not sure if a couple of bars will make any differnece

Z1..so do you have any idea about the invidia g200 true dual exhaust. I just bought one and plan on putting it on and as inexpensive as these braces are, i figured it couldnt hurt..thanks for your answers..

if its a true dual, the lateral bar (the one that mounts forward of the rear x member) should fit fine. The other two (front and rear lower arm bars) will fit regardless of what exhaust you run (dual or non dual).

How much of a difference it makes depends on your mods I suppose, and how attuned to the car you are. I noticed a very significant difference on my own car in turn in and rear end stability mid turn....and I don't even have the lateral brace yet on my car (since I have the Fuji exhaust the brace wont fit in its present configuration, which is why GT Spec is redoing it). The lateral brace would undoubtedly make a very big difference - anyone who has been back thee to install the camber/toe arms would know what I am talking about immediately...there is a fair amount of flex at the "ears" back there
