Bash bars and fi-intercoolers

[lgz350]

Hi peeps. im new here. i have a 350z with greddy twin turbo kit on a vqde. its 2004 and the kit is around 2006 or so.its the old greddy kit with td05Sh . 

my question is with the fitment of a bash bar for some structural support.as this has a 4inch deep intercooler ,the original oem bash bar has been removed. 

 

i was wondering what other people are using. i have seen some modifications of original oem cross bars and custom bash bars but not really finding anything that in terms of bash bars fits around the intercooler without modifying it. i have seen the mmg bash bar and looks a good fit for what i need and have contacted them for some dimensions but they replied,"its not how this works,you fit the bash bar then the intercooler."

 so i dont want to fit the intercooler to the bash bar, and i have visual access to the support mounts for the bash bar. the intercooler is the greddy evo, 2 ins and 1 out, 4inch depth.i havnt stripped the bumper off yet to measure intercooler as moving soon and will have a garage. cant find the intercooler on trust or greddy anywhere as its old school.

its not a drift car for comp,will be for shows.also will be fitting the top secret v2 bodykit i have(genuin one) any thoughts on which bash bars will fit and takes the ts bumper  too?

cheers

hell yeah.but hey ,was that the only solution for your cross bar,also,are you not woried about air restriction to intercooler,and i guess you run without bumper then?

No, I run with a modified front bumper, so minimum of air restriction.

800 bhp and similar lbs ft torque so requires loads of cold air.

 

Two easy options for the cross bar.

Modify your OEM bar or fabricate a bespoke one, simples.👍
