well looks like this will be a bust - Nissan USA nor Nissan Japan sells the brackets separately - I just confirmed it last night.

Eventually I'll get around to installing the front one (rear won't fit on my car due to my sub box), but it won't be anytime soon - too many other things I'd rather spend time working on for the time being

Damn, that sucks. So everything can be ordered BUT the brackets. Is the rest damper inside the trunk or do both install underbody?

That's odd... Wouldn't they HAVE to have them available for collision repairs?

I have no idea, that's what both Japan and the US told me...none available at all

I've had these brackets on ordered for a long time now from both sources but I guess at some point I'll just have to make them

If anyone wants to buy a rear damper, let me know, in stock

Adam, I think I asked this before, but you aren't sure if these will fit a g coupe do you? I guess there is only one way to find out...

Hard hard/$$ do you think it would be to custom make the brackets?

sorry I have no idea if it fits or not

I'm sure brackets won't be hard to make, I'm just not really in a hurry to do it as I have other things to work on for the car right now...these are pretty much my bottom priority right now

Thx for the input Adam. I have a feeling they wouldn't fit as the bumper supports are different and the trunk as well...

I'm not really that familiar with the body differences on the G and Z unfortunately, but since brackets have to be made anyway, I'm sure at least the front could be made to work. Rear you would have to measure the spare tire area and also see if there is a suitable place to bolt or weld to

Awesome!

Down the road, will you be able to get more brackets for sale with the dampers as a "complete package"?

well I have a rear full kit now in stock

for fronts, who know's.....at the rate we got these we would be able to maybe sell 1 kit a year lolol

seriously though its hard to tell...if demand is there we could always just make the brackets here...it's steel, nothing fancy. The brackets BTW don't include the bolts...but that's easy

Well, if you ever start selling these with all their necessary parts, please keep me in mind, as I would be interested in both the front & rear kits.

Default Front & rear brackets came in!

I just received the front & rear brackets to mount the Nismo Z mass vibration dampers. I will install front & rears this weekend and post pics. For those that may have missed it, a complete listing of part numbers for the dampers, brackets, bolts, etc can be found in my original post # 56 on page three of this thread.

Do you mind sharing what the final cost was for everything.
