The FDF Front Crossmember (subframe) brace for the 350Z and G35 is designed to reinforce the front suspension mounting points to the chassis and minimize chassis deflection. The brace is made from 13mm 6061 aluminum. It is lighter and stronger than the factory brace and provides better ground clearance.
The unique 3-piece design allows the center section to be removed while leaving the suspension corner braces installed, making maintenance of the steering rack, clutch, transmission, and engine easier. Another benefit of the removable center section is that when these vehicles are lifted on a hoist, the hoist arms are typically placed on the corners of this brace using the FDF brace, but the 3-piece design prevents this from being an issue. The brace includes installation hardware.
Key Features:
- Durable, reliable, and lightweight: Made from 13mm 6061 aluminum.
- Use: Reinforces front suspension mounting points.
- Maintenance: The center section can be removed to facilitate maintenance of the steering rack, clutch, transmission, and engine while leaving the suspension corner braces installed.
Note: Does not work with AWD models or 2008+ models.

Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At the Shafutoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇 Checking Compatibility
All product databases are based on North American vehicles (USDM), so please check whether they can be installed on Japanese vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure if a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to look into it for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our top page, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. There may be confusing expressions, so please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of settlement. For shipping estimates, they will be automatically calculated once you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there are rare cases where there is a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
Essentially, all products are shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please order with plenty of time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please contact us to confirm the delivery date in advance. All products are transported via air freight. They are never shipped by sea.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
Essentially, all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they do not comply with "Japanese vehicle inspection standards," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents for Japanese vehicle inspection purposes. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private land, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival of the product. Because all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging boxes or products. Please understand that we will only handle returns, refunds, or exchanges for products with shipping damage, defective products, or products different from what was ordered if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please note that for products sold through us, we will only handle warranty-related matters "exclusively through us." We do not handle matters through other companies or distributors located in Japan.
