A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Does the 350Z come with a front Strut Tower Brace and is it triangulated?
I race a 240 Z in SCCA and if it is I can add one to my car.

A:
Yes it has a front strut bar.
No it's not triangulated.
A:
Here is the stock brace. I'm not sure if the base model 350Z has one standard.

I was hoping for a triangulated brace.
:(
A triangulated brace is very beneficial in a 240.

A:
The 350Z doesn't. 30 years of chassis design improvements will do that.
Gee, imagine that: something about the 350Z that is better.

They are easy to find for mid-engine cars. You may be able to adjust the mounts on an MR2 or something to work as the width of your engine bay is probably similar though you'll have to fab to get the 'point' of the triangle to work.

Nothing a couple peices of flat stock and a welder couldnt fix :). If you wanted the triangular brace that is.

There's plenty of braces for the car. Its just that legally I can't do it because they did not come stock that way on any Z. In SM2 in the SCCA Solo2 you are only allowed tower to tower braces unless another car in your model line had it and then you are allowed it through update/backdate rule. It doesn't have to be the same part.
Hope that explains it better.
