Who uses shakitto plates? Are they worth the $200? Other braces I should look at? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

For what it might be worth

A long time ago Koguchi did a review of a bunch of different bars and shit for s13.
tower bars, cage, stabilizer bars, shakkito plate, fender brace, the do luck bars...

Shakkito plates were rated pretty high on there.

I got some on my s13. They do add some rigidity to the towers but they also look great. Only thing is the nams are designed for the jdm chassis so if your installing them on the usdm chassis you will have to ditch the wiper motor.

No wiper motor = bad news. I couldn't imagine how bad it'd suck to be out on track in misting rain without wipers...

A part of me has always wanted to see eBay knockoffs of these since they ARE really high given the difficulty of making them.

Weld a couple bars from the strut tower to the firewall. It'll cost you like $20 (plus welding if you can't weld) and take a whole hour or so to make. I wouldn't pay $200 for those personally. Now if I saw a set for cheap on the F/S forum on the other hand..........
