Does the 370Z NISMO front strut tower brace (p/n: E44A2-1A34A) fit on the G37?

Looks like the engine cover is the only part that needs changing with this brace (use NISMO red engine cover, 2 piece p/ns: A4041-1A30A and A4041-1A30B).

Would this work?

I wish it would work w/out serious fab work since it's a great looking brace, but check out this thread for the hard truth
370Z shock tower brace on G37? No go… | DrivingEnthusiast Blog

Thanks for the link, it looked like it might work.

I wrote that blog posting, based on my friend's G37S coupe, as well as my own G37S sedan (supercharged by Stillen).

The 370Z/Nismo braces (both of which attach the same way) would be the ultimate shock tower brace.. .far more efficient than some of the single-tubular-brace offerings on the market.

What's needed is an adapter... and somebody could produce these on a CNC machine very easily. It's gotta be very solid, any movement at all negates the advantage of the brace. And you'd need to switch to a G37 engine cover so that the clearance over the top of the engine is there.

Is there a vendor up to this?

Update: we just put a Stillen cold air intake on the G37S, as well as a 370Z brake cooling kit, adapted for the G37s. Very nice all around.

Post up some pics if you can, probably worthy of a separate thread.

I have lots of pics... going to start another thread when I have time. Just wanted to post this here as part of the overall prep of the car.
I'm still hoping somebody will maker an adapter for the stock 370Z shock tower brace. That will work better than any of the wimpy aftermarket braces.
