larsdowg Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi there, I have a Nissan 350Z 2004 plate and I am looking at changing the W Brace as it is corroded and needs replacing. While under the car I thought I would change the rear member stays RH/LH also as they are heavily corroded and would make sense to do at the same time. I assume if I buy this: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/20421-350z-nissan-oem-rear-suspension-member-stay-bracket-with-hardware-kit-right-55451-cd001.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/20422-350z-nissan-oem-rear-suspension-member-stay-bracket-with-hardware-kit-left-55452-cd001.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/20746-350z-ultra-racing-rear-lower-brace-4-points-rl4-1259.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/braces/5596-350z-nissan-oem-w-brace-hardware-kit-74870-cd200-hwk.html I will be covered for all parts and replacement bolts? Or do I need another 4 of these for each side re the Stay Braces? As I note I need to remove 2 bolts (supplied) and 3 nuts but only 1 is supplied? Also would I be able to get any discount please for being a member of the 350Z foum and what would be the leadtime on the parts to mainland UK deliver? Many thanks in advance Larsdowg aka Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz@TORQEN Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Hi Rick, Many thanks for your enquiry! This is everything you need to replace the member stays, the w brace and the hardware for each. We have all of these in stock so they can be despatched for next day delivery, unfortunately we can't do discounts on OEM products as we price them competitively to even what Nissan would. If you have anymore questions, feel free to let me know or pm me at anytime. Edited April 12, 2021 by Coz@TORQEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalas Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hi Coz, thread jump... are the Ultra racing designed to replace the OEM brace or (as was called out in separate threads) designed to be used as-well-as/in addition to OEM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison140 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I would like to know the answer to that one as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagan Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 While on this topic, is the rear brace on a roadster different to a coupe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Zalas, It replaces the original OEM W Brace. Really good bit of kit, in my opinion better than OEM. I took the OEM one off, put my foot on it and folded it in half and my 2004 ZED has only done 27k miles. Highly recommend, plus change the member stays as they were rotten too. I recommend buying both bolt packs too as the old bolts required a lot of penetration oil and a couple a blowtorch to persuade out. Hope this helps. Stay safe.
