I'm installing Nismo Motor mount right now.

I wanted to know if there would be any problem if i remove the triangle support between the intake and the motor mount bracket and run it like this ?

As far as i know guy with aftermarket intake manifold don't use it like meminto on is beast ca18.

What do you think about it ? keep it there or ditch it ?

Lot of us with stock manifolds have also ditched this brace, and the ones above the fuel injectors as well.

The bracket above the injectors ? Wich one are you talking about ? The one between the firewall and the intake ?

no problem after doing this ?

Cause i was thinking that maybe it would may leak intake manifold gasket.

Plus it's a 3.5lbs weight reduction

My vote? Nissan put it there for a reason. That is a lot of weight to be hanging off the side of the motor vibrating all to heck.
