TAZ u fakker, where is the Pic of you standing on it, I had to lay on the dirt to take that one!!!! HAHAHAH, 200lbs?? Dont you mean 220?? Anywhoo, yesterday I changed my oil, and I wanted to see something.

So i placed my hands on the support brace just over the passenger headlight. Then I pressed down with all my weight (220lbs) on the corner of the car. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE FRONT OF THE TOWER LEAN FORWARD and INWARD. Now this is with the BAR OFF, so anywhoo, the same test done while test fitting the bar, resulted in 0 Strut tower flex.

Thease little mods really do add up at the end.

LOL

 

i'm running the prototype on my car and i friggin LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

When I get the production version, TAZ will help me make a cut template for the plastic trim pieces.


KAMSKI

 

how are your feelings before and after the install of the FTSB?

 

well yeah and then deus...do you think you can try it out when it comes out cause i think your the only one with the altima Front SWAY bar on the car...so kamski can you give a performance update on the FTB and when and if you get it deus can you give a reveiw with both FTB and FSB...and see what difference is? so that people have idea in what we have to look forward too? thanks

 

ONE OF THE BEST MODS I HAVE INSTALLED TO DATE

THE SECOND BEST MOD IS TAZES new .................. which im about to make a thread about.

Kamski

 

kam, has anyone ever told you your sometimes a ........... lolxz j/k

 

Come on Kamski, i'm sure that it's a good mod, but by far the "BEST?"

 

sorry for the delayed response. its 5/8" so i think thats around 15-16mm

link: http://www.skunk2.com/Merchant2/merc...roduct_Count=0

 

15mm will make it really tight. it may still fit but you will definetly need atleast my MMI's for the VQ if not solid mounts to stop the engine from rocking.

 

Please explain what this means. What are "my MMI's" ?

 

Probably Motor Mounts which he has mentioned making for Altima and Maxima 3.5

 

Replacing motor mounts is not an easy job -- like bolting on a strut-tower brace. This would put a whole "nother" light on this modification.

I thought the whole idea was to reduce the flexing of the strut-towers.

 

Motor Mount Inserts from TAZ, read the new thread. Cheerio Lads.
Better?

Kamski

 

He has an spacer on his manifold, that is why he would need inserts. The spacer raises the manifold enough that if a strut bar were used they would most likely interfere with each other cause of the amount of movement the engine has. MMI's (motor mount inserts) fill the voids in your stock mounts to reduce excessive movement of the engine.

 

Ill take one... lemme know when available

 

Thanks, taz. So much of what came before your explanation was "Greek" and abreviations that did not make sense to those of us who did not know this fact. Statements like: "MMI new therad BIOTCHES" -- what the hell does that mean?

 

I wrote it and I dont even know what it means

 

^^^ lol. taz, would your streetr mmi work fine with the spacer?

 

what is this spacer for that i keep hearing about?

 

skunk2 product. post #49

 

thanks

 

you mean with the spacer/strut bar combo?, I really don't know, it's not something I have tested for. But I'd say the RACE versions are safer. Assuming there is room in general for both. Will teh spacer for sure fit teh FWD VQ engine? I'm pretty sure the manifolds are different between the RWD/FWD

 

yeah, i have talked to jotech [local shop] that you might have to use the g or z IM for it to work.

 

when can i order already?

 

seeing that it is the edn of the week end i think aria is a bit right into asking what is the final verdict on the final end product...avaiblity, price, option, and when can i put it on? lolxz

 

man im just credit card purchase happy... i want to buy...
RIGHT NOW!

 

don't get in trouble... use debit card

but other than that, I agree. gimme!

 

I would definetly want one...only in pink though...j/k Red or black would suffice.

 

i'd have to go for the silver too.

 

Please Make An Order For Me. In Black.
Is There A Website We Can Order From?

 

I vote for black.
I am ready to order.

 

Ill take one in Red if it matches factory (red opulance). else i'll take black

 

What's the latest Taz? How are we doing on production?

 

AS you know the prototype is a perfect fit on my car and has been sent for production. I know TAZ is busy as heck getting it done.... keep patient guys its coming, please understand it takes about 30 days to get the first batch, after which it should take no longer then a few days for consecutive batches as the machine is already prepped for the job.

Taz want to chime in?

Kamski

 

just to make sure........I was FIRST ON THE LIST!!!

 

I have no problem being last in line. Def interested in the product. Damn, another trip to the mechanic.

 

Taz,

Give him the box, I'll take the bar in it! Afterall, isn't it 'ladies first'?

 

as long as i can get it before my tires...its all good...lolxz

 

WHAT!!! DUDE r u serious, korwa 14mm klucz i w 5 minut zalozone. CO TAM MEHANIk!!?? Chyba sobie zartujesz.

Ja to jurz chyba 5 razy sciagalem i zakladalem przy testach probnych.

Dostaniesz instrukcje do instalacji.
