for those who wondered what the nismo strut bar looks like,

I got it from Jspec.com
I like this much better than my old one, but it's a lot more expensive. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>
Thicker material, much better finish/color (gotta love that red and black color scheme), and also the bar is contoured to the engine lean of the car.
Don't ask how much I paid for it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
If you want pricing, email

in the next few months I want to get some ST sway bars, rear strut bar, and springs/shocks or coilovers.
Jared(teampulse) just got his Tein HA's installed today as well, I have yet to see what it rides like, I might get a set down the road as well.

The height of the bar is adjustable, about 1/2 or so.
The KA comes with the car.
I havent done much performance mods, just lil visual things.
Mods so far:
'95 SE Leather seats
K&N filter
HKS exhaust (with some universal muffler)
East Bear Tension Control Rods
Nismo Strut bar
B&M Short Shifter
New antenna,
Silvia Grille
Silvia K's (97-98) Tailights (I wish i got the 240sx ones, at least they have the holes for sidemarkers).
taped eyelids (supposed to me mold for the fiberglass ones coming soon).
thats pretty much it.

If I hadn't already bought a Grex bar, I would have definetly gone with that one. Very cool looking.

thanks guys, it was a real expensive, but worthwhile investment. but if you think this looks nice, wait until you see Sam's RSR Strut bar. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Looks sweet. I just ordered My Cusco Carbon Fiber strut bar, and the Cusco Rear OS bar w/ triangle bar. Only thing I wonder about is adjustability and fitment? How did yours fit? do you have to do any adjustments? how do the adjustments work?

also is that the Stock Fuel rail?? I have a 92 S13 and my fuel rail looks nothing like that:

Now that I see them together, there are all kinds of little differences??

lol... my cusco looks better <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> nice try though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>
(j/k btw)
sykikchimp: looks like you've just got some sort of cover over the stock fuel rail. most aftermarket fuel rails feed and exit from the sides... notice how your lines still go to the center.

actually I had no fitment problems. The bar went on with no problems at all. I also got the 2002 model which is quite different from the older bar.
sykikchimp. where did you get the carbon fiber cusco? is it aluminum with carbon fiber overlay or 100% c/f?
post pictures when you get it. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
