350z W brace.


wilo

Recommended Posts

Common fault. They rust like hell. I took mine off and still passed its MOT last week. (You dont need it IMO). Another option is to the ones on ebay. Not cheap though. Also try Chris at Tarmac Sportz. Hes a trader on here or chop it all off before it falls off lol

Very common problem wilo and discussed many, many times on here. Try a google search next time with: "350z UK _ _ _" followed by the question/answer you're searching and you should see related threads from this forum & more pop up. ;)

 

Anyway just going to quote myself from another earlier W-brace thread to give you some answers/ideas. :thumbs:

 

That is definitely the worst condition W-brace I've seen on a 350 Willow. :scare:

Usually the cheap option that most people can do is remove it, clean the rust off and "Hammerite" paint over it but yours definitely needs binning asap before it falls off in the road, ...could be especially bad if it comes off and hits another car.

 

You could try zmanalex on here for a pre-owned W-brace which is the cheapest option.

Your next option and imo the best option is to get an aftermarket W-brace as it will be cheaper than getting a Nissan OEM replacement. This is the one I usually recommend to people on here and everyone I know has been more than happy with it.

If you don't like or want it though then I believe the Cougar Store or Clark Motorsport on here can both get you the OEM W-brace. Other traders may be able to as well but they are just the two I know who definitely should be able to although if memory serves it's around the £200 mark for the OEM one.

Good luck. :thumbs:

Depending on how bad yours is removing it yourself & painting it with Hammerite paint is by far the cheapest way of getting it ship shape again. ;)

 

Have a look at post number 3 in this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/99342-brace/

 

...Or you could try as I suggested zmanalex or Emperor Tuning for a good used condition one. ;)
