Colab Carbon R35 GT-R Steering Column Reinforcement Braces
The Colab Carbon GT-R Steering Reinforcement Plates are produced with our continuous carbon reinforcement structure to give it a strength equal to 6061 aluminum while coming in at a fraction of the weight. They are notched for unparalleled safety and security making it impossible for the column to walk off the mount. Maintaining full tilt and telescoping operation, we designed these pieces so they require absolutely no cutting or modification whatsoever with installation taking approximately one hour. Any GT-R that plans to see track time should consider this a mandatory safety upgrade.

We first started noticing steering column mounting issues over 10 years ago, when we were track testing the R35 in HPDE events as well as Time Attack. Over the years we have seen hundreds of GT-Rs succumb to the steering column mounting failure. Obviously, this is a very dangerous and unsettling situation, primarily occurring on cars that are tracked regularly due to the sawing, pushing and pulling forces that most drivers will place on the wheel.
The OEM steering column and tilting assembly is mounted using some very weak pressed metal body clips. Even when they are very tight, they have a tendency to work their way off the mount, causing the steering wheel and cluster to fall about 3 inches downward into the drivers lap and about 1 inch laterally. Those of you that have experienced this know exactly what we are talking about. So we set out to design a unique mounting reinforcement block that solves this issue once and for all.
