OK i have some Solid works CAD experience from RPI and I was wondering where I could get some schematics or engineering drawings?

With dementions hopefully, but even some black and white 'wire frame' front and side views that I could sketch on would be the heat.

I'd like to start some custom exterior projects and could really use some low-mid detail schematics....

Or if anyone is bad arse at photoshop and could take a few front side and isometeric (I think) pics and convert them to drawingstyle, showing contors and lines but no shading. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for any help folks.

Oh I need it for the S13 HB preferably

Yeah I went to RPI for a year and got pretty good with it, No where as much as I'd like though, but enough to make all the flanges, brackets, spacers, pullies, manifolds etc. I love the SolidWork allows my functioning brain to draw by removing my retarded hands.

I have a copy of the service manuals and for skecthing ideas there are some pics that help. But I could really use some with demensions.

I doubt you will ever find accurate exterior models. That is IP gold for most companies. You could have a point cloud made, but that is a couple thousand bucks just to get the file made.

Fairly confident that Nissan is not using Solidworks either.

Backfrom the dead again....

Doesn't matter what they used - there are generic file types that nearly all graphics programs can use. When I say point cloud, it would be a .stp file, which every program, even google sketchup can work with.
