Anybody got a pic of a NISMO strut tower bar installed on a 240Z? Kinda like to see how it looks before I order one.

They are available still? Do you have a Part Number? What do they cost? I thought they were NLA.

Check your PM.

Could I get some details on that too please jmark? I'm interested in seeing/ordering one.

www.nismoparts.com under old school parts. I just ordered one. I know Courtesy shows it NLA. We'll see... Price is $170.69 shipped.

FWIW the order was accepted.

I installed the NISMO strut tower brace Sunday. It just bearly clears the valve cover (1/16 of an inch, is that OK?) and the hood closes fine. I torqued the bolts to 25 ft. lbs. I believe that's what the FSM calls for. I left the washers off because I was afraid the nuts wouldn't have enough thread left to tighten properally. I'll try to get a few pics soon. I don't think it would work on a FI 280Z FWIW.

jmark...this link is unbelievable...I've been able locate some parts I thought were long NLA for my '71...the NISMO rear spoiler (too bad I already bought the CDM 432 style spoiler), fan shroud, even door finishers, and dashes, certain door and window moldings...I've already loaded up my shopping cart with $1500 worth of wishfull and needful things(but I need to get practical within my already blown budget)...THANKS!!!!

I actually am in process with it's resurrection, doing some mechanical now, should be into paint/body by next weekend...this will really help put the finishing touches on my ride...

I just did some parts searches from the factory parts catalog and found hits on about 97% of the part #'s I entered with pricing...based on your experience, I assume if it's priced and not "X" 'd out it's a valid part sitting in a warehouse somewhere...this could get VERY interesting...I'm going to call up on Tuesday to validate my "finds"...thanks again for the link!!!
