[wmdavis007]

Cool! Keep us posted as you work on your project. Can't wait to see pics.

[Arabrockermang]

Already did the 5speed swap as you can see the interior has nothing to lose



hard to tell here but bought it wrecked



Hood and lights from a car I saved from the scrap heap (no title)

I kinda like the white on black though

dude nice

[Arabrockermang]

ya I'm gonna be out of country for a month or so.

But when i finish I think I'm gonna love it.

I guess I should put the word out now.

I'm gonna try to buy some ordinary doors and sell these when the time comes. I hate to waste them when I know somebody will be looking for these rare doors.

They are rust free Texas car but I don't think they are bondo free or dent free but they are in 85% shape at very least.

Depending on what i find depends on what they come with if i find complete doors with panels and all then thats how I'm selling these

Taking all offers I'd like to get the same price as I pay for some black ones in a junk yard

And remember I won't be able to get to them for 4-6 weeks

Drop me an e-mail.

Don't worry, everyone hates them. I kinda like how the pillars give it the unique look, and I love the fact that the Nissan badge is on them, but they're too darn heavy. Everyone has their reasons to hate them hahaha

I guess I'm the only person loving them pillars. Seriously, I'm not joking.

[krash]

hahah I actually love them aside from the fact that the doors are so HEAVY. I closed the door on a coupe and almost shattered the window the other day.

Nemo must be the only one who hasn't at least minorly injured themselves on the pillars.

Here's a tip you might like to know: all that foamy vinyl crap can be stripped off the dash. Underneath it looks the same as it does with that stuff on. If weight and thickness is an issue to you, you might want to pull all that off before getting much further.

[sean@z1]

i would like to see where you go with this keep us all updated here

[Arabrockermang]

Well finally back and have a little bit of time and money plan on starting back on it tommrow so I should have pictures before monday or early monday

[Arabrockermang]

I did this months ago actually plus this is a crappy phone pic, but I just wanted to keep the thread alive I'll post more when I get my dash ready for primer.

More to come soon.... Maybe

More to come soon....

fixed

[johnny butt]

hit up an audio shop; most people use it for the space behind speakers, like making a better enclosure and getting better dynamics out of them.

I know everyone has gone over this a bunch but I just want something good looking not gonna use it on the track and will probably have a roll bar so not worried about a accident considering real racing seats are just flat aluminum half the time tig welded together.

So has anyone bought these Tawainese "Bride" seats off of ebay and how do they look in person. I'm not gonna buy the real deal I can't see paying that much for a seat since I'm just a student maybe if I had a real career things would be different. Either these or used 350z.

Just looking for something comfortable and good looking will be happy if they last 3-5 years without being terribly faded, seams coming undone or the logo being crooked

Only interested in opinions if you've seen them in person. if not please don't just give me your sole opinion. $680 is alot of money at this point I just don't want it go to waste.

[krash]

wait so are they fake? I can't tell the difference haha

[RL Campbell]

Hi i am new to this forum ,and i was wondering if you still have your rear panel extension. If so would you sell them.

[Arabrockermang]

what do you mean by extension?

I'd prob give them to you if you paid shipping if I don't need them

[RL Campbell]

Hi again, I am talking about the upper rear extension next to qaurter glass. IT's in your number eight photo before you cut the rear panel, its in the center with one button. I need both if you have them still. P.S your not that far from me. Give me call 501-831-4232. Oh by the way i have coupe door panels &doors.

[Arabrockermang]

No I cut them up sorry.

Ya hey nice to see someone in arkansas post some pics of your car like to see it sometime if I'm out that way haha.

Heck ya, hey do you want some 5 lug spindles from a J 30 I bought a subframe and trying to sell them since I don't want/need to goto 5 lug since I got nice looking wheels that are 4. I can get the front spindles I want to see if they fit the 240sx I know the rears do. I bet all you got to do is use the J30 balljoint which if your from arkansas you already know how to change without a press lol

let me know I think I can get the fronts for $100 with brakes and all and I'll sell the rears much much cheaper.

[Arabrockermang]

Finally got some pics of the dash lol long ways from done but it looks better than it did with all that s***ty fiberglass I covered up I think I'll never work with fiberglass mat again.

[DirtyDevo]

heres a shot when i did mine, + wrapped it.

[wmdavis007]

Looking good! wow DirtyDevo...that's a lot of custom work on your dash, door panels and center console. Both of you keep us updated on your work.

[johnny butt]

so have you test fitted these door panels to make sure you can open/close your doors without ripping your door panel off? those speakers add-ons look like they will be in the way...

They fit n/p just like oem with the exception of a bracket behind the speaker to hold the panel tight to the door. The added weight was too much for the door panel clips to hold. Ive had this interior as a daily for 2 years now in both the hatch and vert. I do all this work myself and make sure its 110% as its my resume on wheels.

Hey Devin

That is awesome !! For the record this guy does amazing work with his S13's from complete custom interiors to what you see above and he is a great guy to deal with. Hopefully he will open his own custom shop so we can all benefit !!

John

[Arabrockermang]

wow that looks good I'll have to update soon

I've done alot more work just never seem to have the camera with me still maybe a few hours away from having it wrapped

gonna have to find door panels I don't plan on going crazy with the speakers like that maybe just 6x9s

I found some s***ty door panels for $10 I need to go pick them up.

I just get so tied up with school never and shop being far from my house doesn't help.

I need to borrow some electric sanders and goto town in my driveway one day lolz

[Arabrockermang]

Couldn't thank you enough for the post though that really inspires me to finish mine up its gonna look better than I thought.

So what did you use to wrap yours? strait vinyl or something underneath??
