roast350z Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Was having a look at a tasty looking carbon strut brace but then thought will it fit over my engine? Is there a different brace for the 07+ or is it the same?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 From what a very missed person was telling me the aftermarket parts guys sort of stopped bothering with the zeds after the bonnet bulge. I would check very carefully before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I did manage to find one on an American site that is built for the 07+. Cant remember what site it was now. Will go hunting for it later. As Martin says, a very missed person gave me the same info. However he had ordered in some Infiniti G35 braces, which he believed could be modified to fit. However tradgedy struck before we were able to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hmmmm.... Just having a search and it dosnt seem as though there are any specific... But then will the others fit? Dont think I have seen an 07+ without the engine cover on! You could paint yours or even get some Magicarbon and wrap it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a real shame, think there are a lot of gorgeous cars were modified down to him and his large knowledge just keep expecting him to post up "in stock £*** " Anyway would be interesting to see what brace fits, because its very tight under there!

3FIDDYZ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Red like the pic! Its the same as the Nismo 380z... I like Red and Silver with some carbon / black... But others like Ian have gone Blue... If your painting then you can go with whatever you chose but best to decide on a theme first... Get some Samco hoses perhaps... If your after a bit of Bling, then I know someone that could coat the whole cover in Chrome..... Then get some CAI tubes in Red ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roast350z Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Think im with you on the red silver and black, think ill try n track down some samcos first then get painting Anybody on here sell hoses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
