Alright 370z youve fooled me...
 

Alright people... what the hell is the bar inside the vehicle called. Its obviously not the rear strut bar... sooo what is it called? And moreso for the question, what can we do to dress it up and make it look better? Thanks guys.

It is the rear strut bar.

Here is one option:

EVO-R INC. Nissan 370Z Z34 Carbon Fiber Rear Strut Bar Cover

There is also an Amuse replacement.

I guess my only qualm calling it a strut bar is the fact that it doesnt connect the struts... lol.

Correct -- it does not.

I suppose "rear chassis brace" is probably accurate.

Actually, does anyone know if there are there any actual rear strut braces that don't require dropping the struts to fit?

Yeah but when you start calling it a chassis brace, you start getting the undercar braces and whatnot

Anyone drove with this off the car? Just curious.

True...

Rear behind seatbelt brace? :D

I'm sure it reduces flex to the rear chassis overall, but there are undoubtedly other regions that flex which are not braced...

Good question.

I don't think so -- or more to the point, I don't think anyone who has removed it hasn't replaced it with other braces (e.g., a roll cage).

Why would you want to take it off to begin with? Just leave it alone my friend.

Nope, can't be used as a seat belt brace either. It would break as soon as you put that type of force on it. it should be called a faux rear tie brace... lol

I've got a annoying buzz around that rear strut bar...any common fixes?

lol you want to play dress up with your car

Turn up the music.. JK, quick answer would be to place weight somehow on different parts and see what stops. I hate buzzes and rattles!

So I can put my kids in the back. :happydance:


Seriously, I didnt say anywhere that I wanted to remove it.

I've driven it for a week without it. However, I didn't attempt any spirited driving or the sort, the only thing I noticed that the car became wobbly on normal driving. After that I had a Robispec harness bar installed, the wobble disappeared obviously, all alignments were still in spec, no clue if anything major got affected when I drove the car without it.
