It is an awesome mod, but it does cost. There is a shop in southern CA that does this. On the east coast, we get at least 6 guys together and fly Steve Foltz out from Colorado for a day with his fixture. I do not know if he is still doing this. A couple of years ago, it cost each of us around $200 to make this happen. Steve wants the money up front to be sure that he does not lose out. Search around for his contact and PM him. Then try to get 6 people to put up the money.
The beam ends up with a gentle curve in it that is easily seen when looking at it from the brake disc end.

We used to have "Beam Bending Parties" at the Nissan dealership I worked at. The only way to adjust the rear toe is by bending the beam a little bit. Not too sure if every Nissan dealership in the country uses this technique, but they are fully aware of it I'm sure.

if you're SE-Rious about making your b14 handle corners properly, beam bending to near "0" toe is an absolute MUST! you could spend $2000 on suspension goodies and not get as much improvement. i consider it the best ~$200 i ever spent on my different suspension setups over the years.
if in the western u.s see Darrin @ West Coast Alignments in the L.A megalopolis. he'll get'r dun
