Does anybody have it installed on their 2K2? Does it fit fine?
I called Stillen and they said theirs from 2k1 doesn't fit 2K2. Any 2 cents will be appreciated

I put one on my 02SE. The bar I got is a little different then the bar they show on their web site. The bar I got has black end plates instead of red, it is round instead of flat, and is missing the Courtesy Nissan inscription. Otherwise its the same bar.

The instructions that came were identical to those on the web site and were fine. The fit is good but it takes a little playing with the bar and adjuster to get it tight but away from the hood. It also sits a little close to the plenum but I haven't heard any tapping so there appears to be enough clearance. Its not close enough to worry.

I also suggest you get a neoprene gasket to fit between the end plate and the main bolt. Otherwise you can hearing an occasional tapping when you turn/start the engine/etc. Hope this helps.

Do you mean to put the gasket under the plate? Where would I get one?

I put one on with no problems. It had red mounting plates if that matters.
If you email me, I will send pictures.

The adjuster bolt is simply a threaded bolt (screws into bar) with a drilled cross hole. The adjuster bolt fits between two perpendicular plates attached to the black end plate. An attachment bolt is used to attach the adjuster bolt to these plates. I found that there was a little play between the plates and the adjuster bolt. Even when you cranked the attachment bolt down. I simply bought a neoprene washer (at home depot) that fit. I forget the actual size but I do remember that I could not find neoprene metric washers so I had to go with an english one that had a somewhat larger inner diameter than the attachment bolt. You only need one per bolt as it is enough to take up the slack and absorb any play.
