Twin Turbo on Nismo Front Brace Removal
 

Just trying to get some feedback on this situation. I'm getting a Twin Turbo installed and in order to mount the intercooler the two front braces have to be removed. It's a 2016 Nismo.

Any thoughts on handling? I'm going from stock to 500WHP and removing some rigidty. How big of a deal is this and is there anything that can be done to increase rigidty somewhere else to make up for it here?

Thanks in advance.

The intercooler itself is a giant brace between the frame rails.

What kit? I have ran without the brace for a couple years at 520whp and everything seemes normal. I'm switching from GTM to AAM and just purchased a fast intentions crash bar. It is supposed to allow more forward room for an intercooler (not width).

A large beefy intercooler is probably more rigid than the crash bar was. You'll never miss it.

The AAM Kit.

Thanks Phunk!

TWO front braces? Are you talking about the tow bar or the hood latch supports?

I had to remove the latch supports on my build.
