Default Under the car

Hi

Can anyone tell me what this piece is called in english (see attachment)?
Mine has become rusty and needs replacement.

Where can I order this piece at a good price and does anybody if it's possible to get a better replacement than stock (from another company)?

Thank you in advance!

Regards H.G.P.

That is what the smart $$$ would do.

GT-Spec makes a chassis reinforcement brace.

Looks like it replaces the OEM brace (which you have circled)

Thanks for the answers.

Mine is so rusty that it can not be repaired with a good result, so I new a replacement.

For the GTSpec products I have also looked at those, but the one you are suggesting is sitting under the middle the car. The one I have circled is more to the rear.

I would contact Performance Nissan or Courtesy Nissan and tell them you need a new "W" brace (and send them the picture you posted here) - they should be able to help you out. I have the GTSpec 4-point mid-chassis reinforcement brace but decided to keep the stock brace in place. Good luck!
