This from an email I recieved from Mike Saiki;

I am ready to go out of business. I can't afford to do anymore new projects with the Nissans. I've gone another $17,000 in debt the last year. I will be going back to my Chevys.

So Tom is that it, no chance for t-top bar?What about the foam-seal.It's to bad he has to abandon Nissan development.Guy has to make a living. Well living in Cali maybe you can find somebody else with the time and materials to come up with a tie-bar?THIS DOES SUCK! The bar you developed is this what I got for my car?The friction fit RSB? Works great with no hatch alignment problems.

Nope, that's not what Mike and Tom developed. The Motivational bar bolts to the rear strut towers and has adjustable pre-load. It's a great product and I'm very glad I got my hands on one while it was still available.

Hey Beavis this sucks! If the R@D is done whats it take to crank out some more of these bad boys?Should be mostly profit at this point?I don't understand that aspect.I could see not developing new items,but existing products should still be available with little cost?:confused:

First, he would have to have all of the materials needed to make the STBs on hand.

Second, he would have to have the demand to justify building additional STBs.

Subculture,

Did I read that right? You have a rear stabilizer bar (RSB) on your NX?
Where did you get it? Do you know anyone that sells the front stabilizer as well? I want to pick up both stabilizer bar for my NX2K.

By stabilizer bar, do you mean Strut Tower Brace? Or anti-sway bar?

In anycase, the answer is yes.
I have the Motivational Engineering (www.motivational.net) rear STB. The Stillen front STB. Suspension Techniques front anti-sway bar. N-Tech rear adjustable anti-sway bar.

The front STB was purchased from Stillen
The rear STB was purchased from Motivational (duh).
The front ant-sway bar was purchased from Gravity Motorsports (no longer in business).
And the rearadjustable anti-sway bar was purchased from Ken Nord.
