Yeah found this thread after id posted thankyou

Any recommendations on where to buy w brace and kidney braces (member stays) ?

Right ok thankyou , reading that the cross panel isnt structural i will probably just replace the w brace and kidney braces and delete the cross panel , id presume then that doing that would leave 2 bolts or nuts surplus

Hiya all , ive recently joined and posted about a similar issue ive found on my 350z The rear cross panel , member stays and w brace are very corroded W brace and member stays look straight forward but the rear cross panel viewing how bad it looks seemed scary Looking at ur post im feeling more positive that not structural so dont have a problem leaving it but just looking at ur pic of the cross panel do the 2 studs on each side go through the member stays ? Many thanks

Good afternoon everyone , im new to the forum and 350z's , recently bought a 2006 model and been doing a few jobs on it , ive noticed that the 2 rear member stays are very corroded wich ive seen can be normal (going to replace) but there is a metal panel that seems to run across from one side to the other member stay to member stay in front of the rear axle/subframe it is very corroded and is basically disintegrating is this a major issue ie structural? Thanks for any advice
