Dean.B Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hiya I'm in no rush for this. My car had its mot on Friday and passed but this was an advisory that it would need changing before the next mot. Does anyone know where I could buy a new one of these from and a price please just so I know. This is a picture I found of the part they said is corroded and will need replacing Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeckUK Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi, im sure there was someone on here selling these can't 100% remember who mine was basically dust and i've changed mine to a "ULTRA RACING 4 Point Rear Lower Bar Brace linked below http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-RACING-4-Point-Rear-Lower-Bar-Brace-for-Nissan-FAIRLADY-Z33-350z-RL4-1259-/281862953916?hash=item41a0575bbc:g:7sAAAOSw7FRWUKLW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean.B Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Haha I think mine is on its way too. Thanks for the link Was that a straight swap then mate, good fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeckUK Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 well i got it installed for free when i took my car in for a service, couldn't be bothered with 13 years of rusted bolts didn't hear anything from them when they did it so i guess it's a straight swap!

Dean.B Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 That's true I bet there a pain to get out hah. Worth thinking about though if I need to change it anyways may aswell get a better one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adab Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Known commonly as the "W brace" for obvious reasons, haven't yet seen a standard one without rust! Mines on its way out as well and was also looking to swap for the after market Ultra Racing above. I put "GT Spec" braces on the underside of mine in other places but they don't seem to do this one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean.B Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yeah I was told that it is a common problem with these, must be a bad design, I guess the water sits in it and rots them. Do you know much about these ultra racing, are they good ? It looks like a better design where water wouldn't sit inside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adab Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 No, have not checked them out. GT Spec are really good, shame I can't get it to match. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean.B Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I haven't heard of them before but may be worth a try. Yeah that is a shame, nice to have matching even if it is under the car haha bit strange that they don't do that part, especially if it's a common part to be replaced mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnsx Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi guys, I've just ordered a oem w brace but having some issues trying to find the bolt size to buy some replacements. Has anyone changed there brace recently and can remember what size of bolts are required Thanks shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 You would be best to use genuine Nissan hardware, which is available direct from Nissan or myself. The hardware kit consists of 10 bolts. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
