    yes, it appears to be a carbing bar.....>>

    The Americans seem to like them, just try doing a search on twinturbo for "carbing" and you will get plenty of hits. Check this link SPLparts.

    only get a strut brace for the looks. strut

    braces are detrimental to the Zs handling, increasing its tendency to push through corners.

    Strongly disagree

    I found better turn in and better steering wheel feedback with a front strut brace with no noticeable increase in understeer.Ben

    track experience - i think the improved

    track times experienced by Trayns from removing the front strut brace backs me up on this one. With all due respect to you blipman of course you're on of the Z32 oracles with a wealth of Z knowledge, but front strut braces are a no go.Also if you search twinturbo.net, any one who's worth their salt in doing road racing will run without a front strut brace. The Z's tendancy to understeer means that the suspension setup needs to be soft in the front end and stiffer in the rear end, to negate the understeering effect. Ask any Zedders here that do regular track work and they will say the same. :YD
