2015+ Nismo Rear Chassis Brace Install

OldFart · 01-12-2019, 03:23 AM

The foam piece is different also, that can be bought from a dealer. I don't have the number in front of me. The front brace can be had off a Nismo but is different then the one in kit. The rear bottom brace can be only in the kit. Haven't put that on yet.

Here s my setup, painted it to match the kit.

And with Nismo foam piece installed.

Here is the picture of the rear bottom brace.

Great info guys, definitely helpful!
The link to this should be added to the info about Nismo body dampers or merged together so if you want to have all the OEM braces from Nismo on your 370z you need front + rear body dampers and these front + rear braces, definitely available from time to time on eBay.
Can you please shot where is the additional bottom brace located please?
The front apron brace is right behind the crash bar mounted to the radiator core support as well as the front body damper but a bit higher.

I have bought the Nismo F+R body dampers from eBay and was in impression I'm done with wanna-be-Nismo upgrade, but by accident realized there is additional trunk brace and front apron brace.
The bottom one is new to me and as you say it's extra, doesn't come with Nismo model from factory. 2014-2018 has different front appron brace than 2018+. (nissanpartsdeal.com >> Body (Front, Roof & Floor) > Front Apron & Radiator Core Support)
