What a pain in the *** but SO worth it. I bought these from you guys after I initially ripped my diff out of the car(back bolt broke)..I put them in my tool box and then one day I was doing a 3rd gear burnout down the road to impress few friends(idiot decision) and hit a pot hole that could house a small family and my car jumped out of it and once again SNAPPED the rear bolt Fing everything up..I fixed it the next day..drove around for about 2 weeks and then decided to stop being a lazy *** and install them..as I was taking everything apart I noticed the THIRD diff cover stud completely bent about to brake. Now that these are installed theres no need to even install the rear cover bolt but I did anyways. Now ill never have to worry about ripping out my diff again.

Heres a pic of them installed. The only issue now is im finishing up my full 4" exhaust(if you look close you can see it stops right before the axle) and the left brace sort of gets in the way of it. Im going to be finishing up the exhaust next week as I cant deal with driving it like this anymore and hopefully im not going to run into any ground clearance issues. Luckily I run 28" tires at the track and im at stock suspension height so im hoping I dont drag the exhaust when launching the car.

 

Update. I broke these things three times before cutting the steel tubes completely off both ends and using a thicker guage steel tube. The ones you guys used are paper thin which is why they kept breaking.The weld was fine by the actual metal would rip in half. And there was 0 tension on these things esp after the second time I welded them. Since ive modded these they havent broken at all and have been put to serious abuse.

 

That sucks. I guess I will just move forward with making my own like planned originally since I am going to be in the same boat as you with launchs soon.

 

I give up. The awful SP website doesn't display the part. Where were these available for purchase?? Can someone post a link?

you guys need to make a setup for nismo diff covers

 

Angle grinder and a couple minutes of work and this works perfect on a nismo cover

 

Agreed!

Shouldn't have to if I'm buying something new.

 

great looking piece

 

Did you guys fix them?

 

Very nice Very nice. I saw this on the Vlads sedan and was wondering when you all would sell it.

 

You broke the diff stud how many times? hahahaha maybe you and me should junk our cars.
Not very good

 

This company still in business?

However, can't say for sure if the company is still around or if this is just an old, "holder" page. Looks like they do stuff for early Supras. That brace is the only Z part I saw.

The Bell Raceworks product looks like it's designed to do the same thing: https://www.z1motorsports.com/differ...e-p-13511.html

 

They are local to me and as far as I know they are, but if you want a brace I'd say get the FDF fab piece also serves as a lockout and jack point. If you want more info on it ask Brian as he has it, I have the bell one and I personally don't like how it sits, and will probably end up with the FDF piece eventually.
