Rusty has been modifying the Bell Raceworks

This is the one I have. And have been modding. It will fit all diff covers. Stock, Nismo, and Z1 finned covers.

From 7/3 to 7/20. I won't be home. So anytime after that, I can do it. Buy it, have it shipped to me. I modded it. Ship it back to you. You just pay for shipping.

Yeah I’ll be after that
I’m gonna get their PS cooler and undertray but I wanna see if they have a summer sale

I already knew this about you, but you are a good guy, Rusty.

Shoot me a PM when you are ready.

I got the Z1 PS cooler.

Give you a tip. If you track. Just fill the PS reservoir to the add line. If you fill it to the max line. When the fluid gets hot. It will come out of the cap.

Just got mine in the mail today and just saw this thread. Oof.

Will the brace fit the factory diff cover and bolt up ok? I have the Nismo H-Pipe and AAM Resonated Short Tails so I’m hoping it’ll be alright.

It will bolt up. The main problem is clearance with the exhaust and the upper bolt hole being a little off. If your exhaust pipe is not tuck tight. I don't see a issue.

Right on, thanks!

Lol. Bringing this back because why not, this thing keeps on giving. It's great for drivability, but just don't plan on running exhausts. It's the OEM diff stye, but still required some creative cutting wheel massaging to fit. It's an HKS HiPower catback.

There used to be two uprights. Now there is 70% of an upright.

Piss poor.

Thank you Rusty for the thread and heads up, in fact, I was planning to order mine and I found two options Bell Raceworks and Z1. Since i have stillen exhaust, which one you recommend, Z1 will work?

Appreciate your reply.
