QUOTE(xs94st @ Oct 10, 2007 - 5:54 PM) [snapback]603684[/snapback] do u happen to have any pictures of the finished 240 bar? on or off the car, don't really matter. i just wanna see how it ended up! thanks Q The pics here in the first thread i started are of the 240sx bar. It is powder coated wrinkle black, and is a twin bar design. This is a design uniqe for hybrid and turbo modified 240sx's. We build the protoype off of 2 different cars. One was a 240sx with a stock RB 25det Nissan Skyline motor in it. Due to the high profile of the turbo charger, and intake plenum, a common crossbar would not work. The other car we used was a 240sx with the original KA24de that sported an after market custom turbo setup, and larger that stock intake plenum. The taller than normal engine profile also limited strut bar options. We designed this bar to tie both strut towers into the firewall. This bar requires 2 holes to be drilled in the firewall for proper mounting. We recieved huge positive response from our intial production run, and so we will be doing another 15 or 20 in a couple of weeks. Check out the link to the original thread to see it. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=52446 |

So is the single cross bar made to fit the GT 2 point strut bar? If so can you post pics of the single bar?

Sorry for the late reply, Ive been out of state working on 3 other nissan products, but im back and will continue on the 3pt bar. I have the prototype done, so building a jig is the next step. I will work on that starting tomorrow, and hopefull have it done by sunday. I will post progress as it happens. Thanks for the interest guys.

I dont exatly understand your question, but if you are asking if the stock Celica GT strut bar works with the single cross bar, the answer is yes. The GT bars brackets will bolt on top of the single crossbar. |

Sorry for the delay on the strut bars, ive been trying to catch up. I wanted to have an initial production run done in this month, but because these bars are a new product I am developing, they kind of take the back burner to the regular items I make. I will push to get the initial few done for testing purposes.
I dont have a pic of the single bar, since the single bar is pretty basic, and will be made off of the same jig as the 3 point. But I am thinking of selling the single bar for $50 plus shipping. I estimate shipping to be about $23 based on how much we have been paying to ship the Nissan bars. The $50 for the single bar does not include powder coating. I wont have a price for powder coating until I make the first run. |
