Oh very nice. I'm look for some longer bolt and them get them machined too. What grade are you using? How long are they?

The bolts are 10.9 M12x100 they match exactly to what comes in the 72265 SPC kit.
the SPC bolts are 9" not including the hex head these new bolts are 10"

Which brace and what did the bolt machine work cost?

I dont remember its technical name but the short rear brace
I paid about $10 for the 2 bolts and another $10 for the machining

Cool, thanks for the bolt specs. That's very good deal on the machining. SO your rear lower tie brace was the problem. Hmmm, interesting. When I was install the SPC 72265 kit, I found the bolt that comes with the kit was about an 1/8" shy to flush the nut and I have no problem with the lower tie brace (the one you're having trouble with). As matter of fact, the 72265 bolts was a bit long as I remember, but maybe I was hallucinating being under the car so long for slotting the sub frame an try to install the bolt at once! :smile (2): So I put the stock bolts back on and it's -1.3 camber and no toe issue.

I need to elongate the holes on the brace to fit it on and I could bolt it on with the bolts in the kit but they dont leave very much thread to bolt the brace on with. I feel more comfortable getting the longer bolts



the bolts for the brace under the exhaust have plenty of bolt left for the brace but I have bigger issuses fitting that bar

Yes brand new from Nissan

I can order at anytime or I could do a group buy.
there is no stock left in the warehouse right now so they would take about 7-10 buisiness days for me to get in

here is my rear bumper all black



I am really thinking of leaving it all black instead of my original plan of adding some gun metal to th lower part.

Thoughts ??

 

[soonster]

[J3FF3R$0N]

^ Yup thats the one I used

If i leave it all black (which I am leaning towards) I can put it on this weekend :smile (2):

 

[sukhi105]

I say leave it black. It'll go better with your murdered out look

 

[la_fx35]

Looks great Jeff. :good: Love the ideas of using parts from other cars to make it works in ours. I would leave it black too. Put it on already :smile (2):

If you color it gun metal, what else would you color to match?

I have my headlight rings that color but I dont think I would do anything else
