SR20Fastback · 11-25-2002, 07:02 PM

So the bars are coming from Japan, when should we expect them? I want to clear time in my schedule to put it in, and hopefully have it before the track day (prays for bar before track day).

SilviaDriver · 11-27-2002, 11:16 PM

projectsilvia1 · 12-02-2002, 10:15 PM

1fasts13 · 12-03-2002, 12:51 AM

basically the bar will help stabilize your front some more.  just another bar in addition to the others already there!!

and the 1st 10 are all done and taken.  i went ahead and added you, mike, to the 2nd list i'm building now which we are looking to set it up around mid-end jan.

1fasts13 · 12-04-2002, 02:26 AM

email update sent to the 1st 10 group  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

1fasts13 · 12-06-2002, 12:08 PM

another new update: one of the first 10 spots is available again!!  locski has decided to drop out so first person that email/IM me gets the spot!!

thanks for looking  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Jean · 12-07-2002, 09:08 AM

I'm Interested Add me to the Jan. List,
 But I just bought my 96 240sx and I need to convert it to 97 headlight first.
  Is a Tension rod the same as strut bar? If not count me out, b/c I can't afford to go for speed right now, I really want to get the s14b look, and then move on to speed.
  Thanks tho.

gh6o6 · 12-08-2002, 03:44 PM

Both of those are suspension components.  They improve handling.  They arent a "go fast" mod.  A sturt tower brace connects the strut towers to help in the movement of that huge gap in your car aka the engine bay.  Im not sure what the tension rod bar does but from reading i figure it connects the tension rods (in front) to reduce flex in the car.

1fasts13 · 12-09-2002, 02:11 AM

from what i have heard it makes front chassis stiffer and is significant improvement over stock.  although i wont be able to comment too much on the effectiveness simply cuz i havent had a chance to use one!!  but i'm sure one of the 1st 10 that gets it will be slapping that bad boy in IMMEDIATELY so i'm looking forward to a review from them too  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

BTW that one extra spot is taken, thanks to mazakin  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

and for the 2nd buy, the prospectus is REALLY good that i can lower the price a few bux as by my count there is almost 20 ppl already just from this board  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/exclamation.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  when i get back from vacation i'll push it on the other boards and maybe get even more and hopefully cut the price down even more  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

FRpilot · 12-09-2002, 11:46 AM

would this bar work in conjunction with the nismo power brace/bar? i've seen pics of this cusco tie rod bar and the nismo one and they look like they wont work together because the tie rods are goin to be either connected to the nismo or to this bar..

Dousan_PG · 12-09-2002, 11:59 AM

tRaNCeRBoi408, i dont think you nderstand how this one works, it connects the tc bolt ends together. the nismo power bar still has the same bolt locations for the tc rod bolting location.what you do is unbolt and drop your TC rod (nearest to front of car-pull bolt out) then put this bar there and push the bolt thru this cusco piecie and bolt up the other side..bammo. done. i'll scan apic of the Kazama on tonight, i have it in a magazine article...i hope we can do a group buy on another Kazama part (tie rod ends-better for steering).

tie rod i believe is part of the steering system..like JIC hard tie rods and tie rod ends

this is the TC rod..tension control rod...connects to the LCA. this part connect the TC rods together (more stability in front). i'm looking forward to little body roll in the front w/ the sways, 8 kg springs and this...should be nice..now i just to buy the JIC STB one day....hmm

List,  But I just bought my 96 240sx and I need to convert it to 97 headlight first.   Is a Tension rod the same as strut bar? If not count me out, b/c I can't afford to go for speed right now, I really want to get the s14b look, and then move on to speed.   Thanks tho.  DAvid [email protected]
