Strut tie bar for 240sx (Nissan)

admin

There are plenty on strut tie bars on the market until you install after market plenum's or top mount turbos---sooo we made this tie bar to solve that problem.  It also ties into the fire wall making it a bit more rigid.  This one is the prototype.  I made a jig up so we can start making them.

Reply:to have a 20b installed would have cost me around 8000-10000$ and that's by having me install it and not a shop...
Reply:Any update on your project?
Reply:We have all the bars bent up and the plates that the bars weld up to all plasma cam'd. I'm looking for a little time to put then all together.  If it wasn't for my job I would get allot more work done--LOL---I'm hoping to get them all welded up and off to be powder coated by the end of the month.
