Will this clear a 3.5 with NWP IM Spacers?

Edit: My Alutec barely cleared the 3.5 IM hump, and now with spacers no longer fits even with washers. If this FSTB can clear, I am def in for one.

 

man, the time is kinda short since there's no feedback on the 5th gen...

 

It does clear for the 6th gen, and from the space it has on the 5th it should be fine, my only reccomendation (which is the same for 6th gens) is to get some form of engine mount insert, for 6th gens racingline also has those. I know racingline inserts for the 6th will fit the 3.5L 5th gen front as well, but the rear I have not tested yet.

As for short notice this is true however we are moving from toronto to vancouver and movers are arriving on monday to pick up our stuff, so its a promo/moving sale

 

I don't understand how an engine mount insert will help the FSTB clear the intake manifold, does it drop the engine a little or what? How much space have you seen between the IM and the bar once installed?

 

The MMI will not drop the engine. There is 100% enough room for the bar, the reason for the insert is to stop the rear TB flange from rocking into the bar now that it sits higher.

I should have been more specific. There is enough room for clearance with the NWP spacers

 

Cool, I guess I will be the first 5th gen guinea pig, placing order now.

 

Yeah I'm more than happy to try this out too. I sent you an email already just looking for payment info. Thanks.

 

Taz, you have a PM.

 

You don't do credit cards? My paypal account got fubared when I got a new computer and all my e-mails about the problem get kicked back.

 

through the website I can accept credit cards, but because of our upcoming move next week to vancouver, no phone in orders can be taken. if you wish to use your credit card pm me your email address and I'll send you an electronic invoice that will allow you to use your credit card.

email invoice sent to you via email

 

does this FSTB include the mounts and bolts?

 

what do you mean by "mount and bolts".

The bar come with everything necc. to install on your car, minus the tools required

 

Ok thanks. maybe i should of said Inserts that you stated above "MMI"

 

inserts can also be purchased as well, I have confirmed front fitment for an 03 6spd front mount for existing racingline MMI's but I need to look into the rest of teh years and trans types to confirm the rest. I just got a new computer and my nissan fast system has yet to be reinstalled

 

taz, can you confirm receipt of my payment?

 

Any fittment issues on a 5.5 gen auto. and how much are the mmi with the FSTB?

 

would i really need the mmi?
man i didnt know you guys from Canada, eh....lol

 

$65 shipped in Canada and in Canadian money? that's awesome!!

 

if you can hold one til monday or so when i come back from vacation il buy one for sure

 

Payment of $65 is sent just now. I hope this really fits the 5.5 gen maximas as no one on here has confirmed fitment, yet.

Thanks.

We'll find out soon enough. Heh.

 

Can you confirm that these will fit the 3.5's without engine mount inserts, as long as they don't have the NWP IM Spacers?

 

Confirmed--- 3.5's without nwp spacers = no problems

3.5s using spacers should have at least a rear insert.

 

how much for 2 bars shipped? one 5.5 one 6th gen.

 

Payment sent for a BLACK strut bar.

 

payment sent for silver one

 

Taz. Could you confirm receipt for payment? I did it through paypal under rroderiques@yahoo.com on the 27th for $65.00 Thanks.

 

so can you hold one for me?

 

Do you make rear strut tower bars for 5th gens as well?

 

all payments and pm's responded too.

I don't make rear at this point but I have looked into it and have a rough design based on another altima prototype i made. If demand shows worth while I'll see what I can put together after things have settled form the move west.

 

will you still have some after newyears im not in town yet....

 

So for those who have paid, do we get a shipping notification or what?

 

how about tracking number? is there one?

 

Still availible for 65+ shipping?

 

I never got a response for my P/M. Could I get confirmation of order. Paid via paypal rroderiques@yahoo.com

 

Taz, sent money via Paypal on the 27th, still waiting for a reply via PM for confirmation.

 

still for sale?
