skidder Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Evening everyone, I've got my MOT due next month and looking for a couple of bits if possible please? I have a blow on the front y-pipe exhaust on my 2005 GT4. Also I was looking for a 'rear chassis strengthening bar' (states corroded on last mot) Cheers P.s. Im in Bournemouth if that helps..

Redsky Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I would speak to @ZMANALEX he helped me out with en exhaust before and has helped tons of other members. The rear chassis strengthening bar is also known as a W brace and you can find a bunch of after market alternatives to the OEM one that other members will say do the job just as well and dont cost as much :). Hope that helps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 For the 'rear chassis strengthening bar also known as the W brace you’ve got three options that I’m aware of. Oem Nissan, ultra racing and now tarmac Sportz own w brace. Best bet is to give @Tarmac@TarmacSportz Or @buster a PM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I used ultra racing and have no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi all thanks for the replies. I've had the car 8 years now and am on the eye out for something new. Is the 'W brace' just an advisory or a possible failure on the MOT? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If you're doing the brace, and if it's seriously corroded the support brackets will be a total mess as well. And yes, these will get picked up on an MOT too. I did my W brace and these 2 at the same time:https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/8806-350z-nissan-oem-rear-suspension-member-stay-bracket-right-55451-cd001.html?search_query=350z+brace&results=45 https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/8863-350z-nissan-oem-rear-suspension-member-stay-bracket-left-55452-cd001.html?search_query=350z+brace&results=45 Although if you're selling up, it's an added cost for sure ! (worth poking your head underneath quickly to see the state of them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
