FSTB avaliable for a VE?
From what I can tell, there are no strut tower bars avaliable for a 92 SE. some posts on alt.autos.nissan.maxima also said such things.. But mentioned that Courtesy may have had one avaliable for the VE at some point in time. Just not anymore.
I checked the courtesy website, I checked ebay, I googled, i checked stillen... if i had a GXE, i'd be good.
Any tips? Should I just buy some aluminum tubing and have at it?

Can anyone confirm or deny?

buy the OTTO 5th gen fstb and you will not have to do anything but bolt it on...no moving of the AC line or anything else. It has the straight up brackets (where mygreenmax94's has the bent brackets) so it clears everything (hood, ac line, manifold etc.). It is more sturdy and looks nicer than the cheaper ones imo (I have had both). it is a little more (around $50) but is worth it imo.
Look on my 93 site if you want to see it and how well it clears...oh what the heck here are the pics

I have the cheap 5th gen ebay bar and it sits on my AC line, but there is about a half inch of foam surrounding the line and I haven't had a problem. It has been on there for three years now. I think I spent <$25 including shipping for it. I think now I would probably fork out a little more for the Otto bar, though.

Vibrant also makes one for the VE if I am not mistaken.
