Hey guys,

Having some more fun with my Nismo catalog.

Found a listing for part # 74366-44F00K

Its a Driveshaft Tunnel Brace Kit that only came on the turbo Silvia's. This is a kit for the 240SX S13. Says it reduces deflection and is a must for quick shifting and hard acceleration.

Anbody know anything about it? Pics? Prices? Where I can get it?

Worth the money?

I also saw this and was suprised that I have never heard of it before. Its called a Nismo Power Brace System. Its a lower tie brace that reduces the movement of the t/c arms during hard cornering. Says it improves handling and steering response. It looks really beefy in the catalog.

Oh yeah, its part # 54480-RSS30 for the S13

Just wanted your guys opinions on that stuff. I'm making a list of parts I want and gonna fax it to Nismo to give me prices direct from them.

Thanks and have a great day.

Is this the power brace you were talking about??http://www.jspec.com/nismos14bar.html

If so, I don't actually have one, but I remember reading about it on another forum. The people who had it said they liked it and it was worth the money. Can't remember how much it cost though...

Yeah thats it. I searched with the Nismo Part # and came up with a japanese site that had it. I translated the page with altavista and then converted the price to USD. The price is 14,800 yen which converts to roughly $125USD. That is dirt cheap!!! I wonder how much jspec wants for it?

Fax it off to Nismo all you want... it says on their site they dont ship to the US. Talk to a dealer about it and might be able to get it for you.

I can get them, I get discounts off of any OEM Nissan and Nismo stuff. My friend works at a Nissan dealership, I might be able to do something for you.

Thanks Bud, but I would hate to abuse your connection with your friend at the dealer.

Oh, Nismo_Freak, I've got the catalog right here that says they ship to the US. I'm not sure if it is the NISMO catalog, it says Nissan 2002 Motorsports. I found the address on 240SX.org and sent $5.

Its based out of Gardena, CA. The parts in here are only for the USDM models. They list an All Japan Nismo catalog in here part #99999-RN202.

I would assume that I could order out of the All Japan catalog, otherwise why would they advertise it to US customers?

Anyway, yes they do ship to the US. Here is their contact info:

Jspec sells them for like 220, but I found a busted one on one side, so if its only 125 and the one from the dealer from the stock one is 100, it might be worth to get the 2 with a stablizer bar inbetween...

$125 is the price converted over from Japanese Yen at some Japanese website. It sounds like they are more here in the US which doesn't suprise me.
