Bracings REPLICATION

[moonboots]

i'd be keen for some braces.

[xnickx]

because unlike you altezza owners, We cant just buy them off the shelf...
the only ones ive seen are the front strut braces and front underbody..

For what car in particular?

For the JZX90, just Cusco alone list:
Front strut brace (4 styles including 1 with BCS built in)
Rear strut brace (2 styles including 1 with BCS built in)
Front swaybar
Rear swaybar
Camber adjustable front arms
Coilovers (5 options)
Roll/half cages (29 options)

JZX100
Front strut brace (8 styles including 2 with BCS built in)
Rear strut brace (2 styles including 1 with BCS built in)
Front lower arm bar
Front swaybar
Rear swaybar
Camber adjustable front arms
Coilovers (5 options)
Roll/half cages (19 options)

JZX110
Front strut brace (2 styles)
Rear strut brace (4 styles)
Front lower arm bar
Rear lower arm bar 4 point
Rear lower arm bar 2 point
Front swaybar
Rear swaybar
Camber adjustable front arms
Coilovers (1 options)

And that's just Cusco alone!

Can pretty much do the whole rear suspension for the JZX90/100 from rear lower arms, rear traction rods, rear toe control rods and front castor rods to name a few!

Hell Cusco even list strut bars for the GX61/GX71/GX81/JZX81/GX70 and loads more LOL

If anything, the JZX chassis is more popular in Japan then the Altezzas, you just need to look in the right places

Lol

yup, the jzx is a very popular brand for suspension parts,
because of the amount of drift cars.
but the point is, most of the bracing you used to be able to buy is no longer in production.. or if its you can only pick it up on yahoo when it comes up.
Side bracing.. ( along sills ) rear subframe bracing, diff bracing. the one that goes behind petrol tank, and theres quite a few more. front fender braces, etc etc.. the list goes on.

Do you really need that much bracing?

[crux]

You can never have enough bracing I definitely can feel the difference!

Again, sorry to say, incorrect, all listed above by Cusco is either INSTOCK or still available, even the GX61 braces! (Craig @ Alert Motorsport got one on the last order for hi GX61)
Who made all those braces?

All of Carbing's braces are still available even their slow moving Foot Well Plates:

Now, how many of those have you ever seen, and yet they are available still...

And even ALL the Tom's Racing gear is still all available?

Got a certain brand that has been discontinued? As all the ones I'm interested to see who makes them and if they are still avaiable

Even TRD front lower suspension brace for the JZX90/JZX100 is also still available


I wasn't taking a stab, I can understand making braces etc where no one had made those braces before, but it was initially strut braces etc, which are so common and off the shelf at many shops

[crux]

In my opinion, anything and everything you want for your JZX100 is still available. Now they arent as easy to get parts for like your typical Nissan, but the items are still readily available.
I think the biggest downfall is the fact that most of it isn't available locally, so you're stung with duty + shipping.

[Alex]

I can understand where you guys are coming from,
you want to protect your market.. and products. thats fair enough,
the only braces I want to get replicated are the ones that are stupidly hard to get here.
if they were easy to get and buy i would, same with most others on here.
you're right about the tower brace, and the underbody one.. pointless copying them as you can buy off shelf here for cheap.

[xnickx]

Glad to see that you understand where I was coming from, but who made those other braces you were talking about anyway? I can always see if I can get them in and for how much, always good to compare it before starting to make something anyway right?
