Looks nice - Just to confirm this is the mid brace in Rubares feeler thread correct-///6331

Will you be pulling the order from the last posted list and will there be a GB price?

 

[la_fx35]

Will you be notifying those that are the list that Rubares feeller thread once it ready to be shipped? I'm new to the Group Buy, so snot sure what is the protocol in get it. Thanks

 

[Chedman13]

looks awesome. Great mounts and great welds.

Thanks for pulling this together.

Hope there are no issues with aftermarket y-pipes and AWD FX's and the transfer case.

awd will def clear that, most if not all exhausts should too, if it contacts then the exhaust will need to be raised, but it'd have to be hanging pretty low to begin with I think, that looks like it should fit everything really, I hope

 

[Dr.2K]

Yes, it probably will but I think it may have been better to just test fit on a AWD just to make sure of no fitment issues.

My 45 is ready to be the test mule for the AWD crowd. :wink (2):

so this works along with ladder brace right? because i thought this new mid chasis brace replaces the 4pt ladder brace but seems like its not.

and hope that all the other shipment arrives mid july so i can install them before i leave us for 3weeks.

wow the most expensive of the braces :eek.:

It looks close from the pictures to touching the Y-pipe. I'd have to see a shot from the side to be sure, as pictures can be deceiving.

If you look at my aftermarket Y, the diameter is thicker -- then again I don't have the head shield like the OEM Y, so it *hopefully* is a wash.

I think the Nismo hangs a little lower closer to the mid-pipe due to the weight of the extension, hence the extra hanger typically required. I have a polyurethane hanger for the mid-pipe so no real give there, so my setup should be good (crossing fingers).

 

[Dr.2K]

Yea, those were basically my concerns. Just something to think about if you plan on getting this brace.

Someone told me you were going to try it out first, and then let me know.

yeah we think it will clear almost every exhaust out there. IF not, we can supply 5mm to 8 mm spacers since FX has alot of room, should be any problem.

yes, this brace are in addition to the 4 pts ladder brace. it's more of a "Mid Chassis" reinforcement. The 4 pts ladder brace sit around the front subframe.

yeah, it's a huge brace .... it's about 45" long and 40" wide.

We will include some spacers for those who have aftermarket Y pipes. As of now, we have about 2" clearance from the OEM Y pipes.

See pic below.

Nice. Yeah, my rear GTSPEC bars are much lower and I've never hit anything on the road -- even with being lowered on H&R's.

Good to know you can provide spacers if needed.

Is there an authorized vendor of GTSPEC products that can do a group buy? Would love to save some money on MSRP

 

[FX45Chicago]

How much for all the Braces made for the FX45?

+1 on the group buy.

contact one of the vendors here, GTSPEC will not sell them to you directly, they are a manufacture/distributer. Keep in mind, they dont normally stock the braces, since they think it is a slow moving (off shelf) item.
