Looks good man... Now you've just got to put in the 350z deadpedal and you'll be set. That Nismo bar looks very nice too. Do I wanna ask how much it set you back? Oh, and what kind of camber plates are those? You run coilovers?

Falconey, as far as that aluminum dash trim goes... bad idea. haha. I've seen so many people put those kits on, only to remove them shortly after cuz they looked tacky. And I've heard they are no fun to remove and clean up either.

That Alutec bar is nice. But unfortunately for us VQ35'ers, as n3985 discovered, it doesn't exactly seem to clear the IM very well.

Drill + anger + Alutec FSTB = it WILL fit. (but the aluminum is sooo strong, still drilling....)

thanx all, the alutec was 100 at paradox. Its fits fairly well except the fact that lil vacum on the right side is in the way so i put a spacer and bent the bracket so it would sit under the bar. Other than that its plug and play. Im running this the the K-sport coilovers. I wasnt expecting much but WOW. The ride is so precise and there is no body roll like ridin rails.

Is that right? Did you have the Ksports on b4 you put on the fstb or did you install all at once? I would think the 'riding on rails' would come from the coilovers, but I'll wait for your answers.

i had the ksports on 1st. With the ksport i still had chassis twist. The ride was much stiffer but i could still feel when the weight shifted. with the bar the weight shift went away. The weight feels centered now when cornering.
