Coming Soon, FSTB
Hey all,
I just wanted to let you all know that I will be working on a FSTB. It's based off what avalon42 did with his 88 maxima. I got a FSTB from ebay for $27 bucks including shipping. Basically I ordered one for a 93-97 Nissan Altima. There will be some modifications need to make it fit. When I'm done, I'll be sure to have some pictures.

Yeah struts need to be hit up too. But before my car was turning on a dime. I checked it out and there are some bolts loose so Im sure its not doing its work. Everytime I think of ghetting some struts my gf gets mad about how I always have something to do on my car or talk about. Im sorry Im a car finatic(did I spell that right?)let alone a Maxima enthusiast. So I end up just shrugging it off. I told her that its unsafe but she says its just an excuse to mod my car again. We live together, so its kinda like we're married already.

EGR valve. The vacuum hose for that points to the side of the car, instead of the rear.

Because of the orientation, we had to shave of some of the fitting on the EGR valve. Also the bracket had to have holes widen to mount properly, we did this with a dremel tool. Other than that, it went in pretty well. There was bad part. After we got it in, we took it on a test drive. My front motor mount is still bad, so the motor crawled. I opened the hood back up and well, the top of my EGR valve got bent....oops...the valve is still funtional. I'm going to look for an 87-88

Well, I might have to take the strut bar off until I replace my engine mount. I've already bent my egr valve, and my vacuum line for the valve keeps coming off, or getting torn off. Well have to see. I'm going to replace the EGR valve with an 87-88 version and see what I get.

He needs to use washers on the two strut bolts near the engine and slightly bend up the FSTB bracket so it'll clear the egr valve. Other than that (and the widening of the mounting holes, a cake walk.
now i gotta find me one...................

I'm going to have to go and find them washers. You got an idea at what thickness I would need? Bending the bracket shouldn't be that hard...but then again..we'll find out. If I come back here swearing like a sailor...you know I fcked it up. S
