Nice re-fab on the S13 sills. I need similar work done to my S12 right behind the wheel wells on the floorboard. Any advise on how to takle that area? Tools and tricks? I will NOT paint my own stuff tho, I suck at that...

[Dano]

Are you after making one? It's sat on my desk at the mo and I can take pics with dimensions for you.

Yes I am, that would be lovely!

I cut the rot out using an angle grinder and a chisel to split any seams





Shotblasted the rest



Made cardboard templates



Tack welded it all together



Seam welded it all



Cleaned up the welds with an angle grinder, primed it and applied seam sealer



Before, seam across sill below door



After





Hope that helps

Why are Europe's older cars always so much nicer than ones in USA?

apparently they're not THAT much better looking at the work he's done to get them that way.

You're only 18 dude, get your *** in gear asap and you could have whatever you want. Remember your teachers telling you that? It's true. Just gotta work for it.

haha i know im tryingi jsut landed a job that pays almost 45k a year so im happyjust need that first few paychecks to pay off my 240 and a turbo kit=)until then however i need petrol here to donate some money my way...lol

[mmm240]

haha i know im tryingi jsut landed a job that pays almost 45k a year so im happy

Good luck dude. You keep that job and soon enough you won't even have to be patient

[CarbonsilverS14]

Damn, that engine is mint.

[Petrol]

Slikaznricer, at 45 I am somewhat older than you Be patient though, I have never bought things I couldn’t afford, never used credit cards and it’s paid dividends in the long run. There are lots of thinks I would like. No1 being a 240Z but I can’t warrant spending the huge sums they ask for them over here. It’s about $20K for a "reasonable" condition example. I paid $12K for my S14 5 years ago, it’s the most expensive car I have ever bought. Your time will come, just be patient. Oh and good luck with the new job

PMSL - ******* myself laughing

The S14 rebuild is in a different league to the S13 I appreciate people can’t be bothered reading through 60 odd pages in the link I posted on the first thread. I have been told it takes a few hours Here it is in summary though

Starting point, condition under the back end



Support shell and remove the subframe



Remove all rust from underneath the back end & mask up the bodywork



Prime, spray with 2 pack paint then stonechip



Shotblast all the suspension parts, subframe, hub carriers etc



Spray and refit



If you would like me to carry on posting a brief description of what I have done, just say so and I will continue

As far as the undercarriage is concerned did you get it coated with the zebart stuff?

[Petrol]

It gave 286 "British" HP and 286 Lb Ft of torque on a calibrated rolling road with the following mods

Walbro fuel pumpColder iridium plugsCusco catch tank

I fitted those to prevent detonation

Apexi induction kit3" front and back decat pipes2 1/2" twinbox exhaustBlitz boost controller at 14.5 psi (about 1 bar)

Ignore the blips on the graph under 2k revs, those were the gearchanges.



Who says you need a front mounted intercooler?

I got rid of the boost controller long ago though for a number of reasons. When it's finished it will just have the Apexi induction kit and the exhaust mods. Suspension wise it has Nismo S tune, 17" rims on 235's. I still have all the parts to return it to totally stock though.

As far as the undercarriage goes I sprayed stonechip on it. This could very well be called underseal from your parts. I basically replicated what Nissan did when they made the car. I did however spray box section wax into the chassis legs and inside the rear subframe. I used aerosols for this with long attachments to ensure complete coverage
