Hey..... I just read on the Courtesy Nissan site that the
FSTB that installation on some 92-94 SE Maximas may require
a bend in the bar.... true? Not True? What's up with that?

they used to have a different design for the VE max (92-94 SE), but now they just have one bar for all 3rd gen and it looks a little different
the old bar is the one I have and fits fine, but the newer one isn't really designed for the VE, but you can get it and might have to bend it a little to fit, but from the people I've talked to, it's not that big of a deal

also, about the headlight rewiring thing, I wasn't able to find a way to change the switch; the easiest way is with the diode right before the harness to the headlight which I think would work pretty well. If you did this with our current bulb setup, I think the extra heat would melt the filaments quicker, but if you have BMW lights or HID or something else, it should work

Courtesy was selling part #A32-STB for $59.95 which was just a basic strut bar that didn't look fancy or anything. They also sold a chrome one (#A33-STB) that was more of a show piece for $20 more. I called them up today and tried to order the regular one, but all they sell now is the more expensive chrome one and for $10 more than before. Total? $89.95!!! I wish they would sell the regular one.... it was a good deal...
As far as the 92-94 thing (which affects me) what I have heard is that you may have to bend it slightly, but maybe not at all. It clears the VE intake by about 1/4 inch from what I have seen, and the only thing to think about are the coil wires.
