I recently purchased this strut tower bar http://mynismo.com/products/?id=2692. And when I went to look at it on the car for fitment it looks like it's way off, it seems that it doesn't really bend over enough to screw into the car which I need some help on I would love to hear some information on how to put it on and what bolts I will need for the install, and also it seems that once I put it over the engine that my hood would not be able to shut? Thanks for your help

-BBB-

 

Anybody please! I have been without a strut bar since I got the car and would really like to get this in!

 

Works fine with my set-up. NO rubbing issues here.

 

Are you sure you got the correct part?

 

I have the Greddy Strut bar... no problems.

 

I ordered the one they said was for the 350z...so if there was a problem it wasn't my fault..

 

Part number 14023011

 

It doesn't seem that the left and right sides go low enough to connect to the part they need to.

 

Are you running a spacer or aftermarket plenum?

 

The guy we bought it from didn't say anything about it and I don't believe I am but..I put it on and it looks like if i screwed it on it would have to bend around 1/2" to 1" on each side and it doesn't look like the hood clears it because before I have it screwed in i cant shut the hood.

 

Thats the correct part number.

 

Yeah and it looks the same as the pictures of it I've looked at on the forum so I just dont understand why my hood wouldn't fit when I haven't bought an upper plenum or plenum spacer

 

pics???

 

performance nissan rox!!

they got 2 of my orders wrong....i believe a girl name virginia screwed me over but meh...i complained and got things fixed

 

I have pictures but my scanners not working and I don't have a cord to connect my camera and computer.

 

go to walgreens and scan it in. Its like two bucks i think.

 

Does it matter if the tower bar is touching the plenum..and I just discovered he did something else to the motor..there is a sort of black rubbery thing that is id say.. less than half an inch thich all the way around the plenum it looks sort of like the plenum is sitting on it. and it says SKUNK2 RACING on it.

 

Ive found the problem! It's a skunk2 5/8 Plenum spacer!! Well, what should I do now, am i going to need to buy a new strut bar? If so what would work for this?

 

The greddy is one of the thinest. You will have to get a crawford or APS to get it to work. They mount differently

 

Well crap, I don't think I could return my greddy one because it is not a little scratched up..Andy@Performance could you talk with me about getting a different one?
