Can someone please tell me what this bracket does. In every picture I can remember it is unused as it is in mine and Massacio's. Is this needed for anything? Particularly 5Spd swap. If its not needed I'm gonna cut the bia off but I'd still like to know what its there for. Is it something for the I30t's or what?

conz35

yeah i have always wondered what the hell that was for? Good Question.

Nissan put it there just to mess with your head

DCM Maxima

I dont think I have that one actually or maybe never noticed

DCM Maxima, are you seroius? You don't have one? I still haven't cut it off but this thread will dictate. Thats were the NISMO turbo goes huh? I thought it was were you hang your socks to dry. We need to get one of the I30 guys in here to give us a final verdict.

Keep in mind that the body is used for a bunch of cars. I find threaded holes and the such all over the place that are not used for are car.

I know that for my 99 the bracket is used for mounting the intake box for 00-01 models. Me, I cut the **** off.

those holes are sometimes used for servicing at the dealer like holding special tools and things like that

o u guys dont know? when u drop in the skyline motor, that bracket holds down the fuel line. duhh

Nismo

99s use it to hold 2 tranny hudraulic lines I believe

Broaner

iTrader: (10)

Thanks Nismo. Thats odd though, because Masscio's 99 doesn't use that bracket. Are you saying auto tranny hydraulic lines? That would make sense I guess, all though it would seem odd to have auto tranny lines way up there.

my99maxisnice

No, my 99 had nothing connected to it. And I'm auto.

It's the clitoris. Now that you've discovered it, you have unlocked the key to pleasuring your car.

I think 1MAX2NV has the bracket/tranny hose thingy becase I asked the same question weeksback in a thread when he posted a pic of his engine bay.

EDIT: Ok, mine is holding down 2 metal lines... '99 SE Auto

that is quite possibly the funnyest thing ever posted on this forum

Broaner

iTrader: (10)

Agreed. Funny **** man. Well, mine is in the trash. I guess I can't pleasure her anymore except the good old fashion way. Driving(AKA fxcking) the **** out of her daily.

KsuMax

I have it on mine, no clue what it is for.

VQuick

iTrader: (17)

LMAO....atta boy! Mine still hasn't been fxcked good yet....

But really, I don't like calling my car a girl (or a guy, LOL)...it's simply a lean mean machine. Metal 'n' grease 'n' raw power..

Wasnt used for anything on my 99 auto. I just cut it off so I could put on my FSTB

lol man u guys are horny, lol jus like dat guy who stuck his D1ck up the muffler.

Maxima99SE

iTrader: (2)

could it be just something only for the '99 SE Automatics?
now im really curious as to what these things do

Nismo

iTrader: (18)

well here you go

thats 1max2nv's

so its not the clitoris?

Broaner

iTrader: (10)

Good call on the none feminine(sp?) issue Tom. Thats why I don't call my max something gay like Maxine. I'll never understand that one. But boats definitely deserve to be called with womanly affectionate terms. I know its changing subject but boats are your home on the sea. It is your mother, your life, you better call her affectionate terms otherwise she'll kick your @ss.

Nismo, thats interesting. Why would Nissan build this bracket into the unibody if it wasn't used until 99? Thats amazing that they were looking at least six years ahead.

VQuick

iTrader: (17)

Yeah, the first time I came across an Org member or Cardomain page that called their car "Maxine" (there are quite a few) I LAFFED MY AZZZZ OFF.

Seriously, how is that? WHAT THE ****???

iTrader: (22)

That holds on the stock air-box for the 2k-2k1. How or why it made it on to some 4th gens I couldn't tell ya.

Bmr4life

wow, perhaps nissan wanted to mount 4th gen airboxes like that originally but later changed to the design thats out now and said screw removing the brackets.

Maxima99SE

iTrader: (2)

thing is though... what the heck are the metal lines being held by that bracket? not many people have them, but I do

KsuMax

95/96's have them also

sryth

Well...where do they go?

Broaner

iTrader: (10)

I assume that the lines are tranny related because only the select few that have them are auto's.

Maxima99SE

iTrader: (2)

i'll look at them and see if I can tell where they go... if it ever stops raining/hailing

Maxima99SE

iTrader: (2)

ok guys i found out what it goes to... I believe it's in all cali-spec autos... and the lines go to a vacuum canister

Push2TheMax

I am keeping mine. I think if I disturb the sanctity of my car, she'll smiteth me'th downeth towards the lower Honduh d00d's. Talk about skurri'ness.

thats remarkable, i think you have discovered the best check for cali-spec cars yet

oh, and mine holds my power supply wire that goes from the battery to the amp in the trunk
