Kinda like how I just bought a Z1 radiator cap from someone one the forum, only to receive it and realize it is the same kPa as the stock one. 137. My bad. I should’ve looked closer.

I'm glad I waited, that's pretty crappy of Z1 to remove reviews.

..:eek:..

This is the review that I'm posting again. :icon14:

If you have exhaust like FI that are close to the diff. This brace won't fit unless you trim about 1 3/8" on the corner of the brace. The other problem is that the upper mounting hole does not line up with the hole in the sub-frame. It's off by a bolt hole diameter. They say to loosen the diff bolting up to the diff so that you can move the diff around and get the holes to line up. Problem is if you have a solid bushing like SPL. When tightening the diff bolting back down. This will put stress on the bolting that you don't need. If you have the stock rubber bushing. you might get away with it.

The other thing that I noticed. There is weld beads on both sides of the bends of the brace. It looks like when bending the metal to shape. The metal cracked at the bends. So they welded over the cracks to hide them.

Just seen this on the Z1 website.

"Thank you for your review. It has been submitted to the store owner for approval and should appear shortly."

All you can do is be honest... and sounds like you were...

You won't find a single bad review at Z1 or Stillen or any small vendor, their products are always excellent every time.

Except when there not and those don't get approved.

Z1 routinely deletes negative reviews from what I can tell. I've had a couple deleted and know several others that have experienced the same thing.

Personally I have only had poor quality parts from Z1 and am told to shut up because everyone thinks Z1 is god. I feel bad for you the brace didn't work but when I read it's a direct fit for the 350Z and you need to unbolt the diff for the 370Z, I knew corners were cut. They used the same piece for two different applications to save costs. Shame

I am bmpboosted and it is on Instagram. I posted the picks plus everything else I post under bmpboosted and their reply is still there. Not sure what Rusty is looking up.

Rusty just meant that he himself is not on Instagram, not disputing your post, lol

My bad!! Sorry Rusty.

Bell Raceworks makes a slightly different brace for those with stock diff covers. I'll let you all know how that one fits (if it does) when I install it.

Interesting....Z1 states (in my question via their website and Instagram) that, although specifically designed for the Z1 diff cover, the same brace does fit OEM and Nismo diff covers. So I am surprised there is actually a slightly different version of this brace specifically designed for the OEM cover.

That's what I read too. That it will fit both stock and Z! covers.
