Default Nismo strut brace part numbers please

Does anyone know the part numbers for all three pieces (not just the two pointed at) of the Nismo model's strut brace pictured below . Thanks.

I found out the prices on the parts, so forget the part numbers thank-you.

The side pieces list for $376 and the transverse piece lists for $504 making the total come out to over $1000. Obviously, Nissan does not want to sell many do they?

It would be a nice kit for an aftermarket company to copy and market at a reasonable price.

The AAM version has been discussed here a couple of times. Much less expensive and also looks better IMO.

All those bends make the AAM less rigid, the factory part is designed for rigidity with larger diameter tubes and fewer bends.

Personally, I prefer simple, functional, no chrome, no wild colors and most of all no after market name plates.

In looking at my '03 Z though, I see where the factory Nismo part may interfere with the air cleaner, making it not usable for my car anyway.

Looks like they also have a straight version which would probably fit your 03.

I talked to a guy who procured the Nismo strut pictured for a trial fit.

He found that the bar would not clear the hood on his 2003 Z. Later Z hoods will clear the strut

So that is a major problem for early Z cars to fit this, and probably why there is no equivalent aftermarket piece.
