You asking questions and not telling people where to go?

It depending on what cbe you have, and how tight it is to the diff. The brace that fits the Z1 cover has to be notched if you have a cbe like FI that fit tight to the diff. If you pipe is about 2" away form the diff. Then the brace does need notched.

The Z1 cover give you about an extra 1/2 liter of lube in the diff. The diff does run a bit warm. I've recorded temps has high as 265F. If you are going to run a diff cooler. Then the Z1 cover really wouldn't be needed. Between the Z1 cover and the MAM diff cooler. The system now takes 3 liters of lube.

I'm in the process of doing a diff brace mod for another member now. Makes #6. I haven't charged anyone yet.

From 7/3 to 7/20. I won't be home. So anytime after that, I can do it. Buy it, have it shipped to me. I modded it. Ship it back to you. You just pay for shipping.

Shoot me a PM when you are ready.

I got the Z1 PS cooler.

Give you a tip. If you track. Just fill the PS reservoir to the add line. If you fill it to the max line. When the fluid gets hot. It will come out of the cap.

Just got mine in the mail today and just saw this thread. Oof.

Will the brace fit the factory diff cover and bolt up ok? I have the Nismo H-Pipe and AAM Resonated Short Tails so I’m hoping it’ll be alright.

It will bolt up. The main problem is clearance with the exhaust and the upper bolt hole being a little off. If your exhaust pipe is not tuck tight. I don't see a issue.

Right on, thanks!
