OFFICIAL: NICOclub Time Attack S13 Build Thread NOW WITH VIDEO

[AceInhole]

No, I see the point he was trying to make... however those weren't pictures of an S13 as far as I could tell. Your contructive critisicm I appreciate, when people just make random remarks though it makes me concerned as to their mental capabilities! LOL

Yeah, I noticed there was some back and forth stuff going on occasion and a bit of a defensive tone against most remarks. I'd just like to mention that anything I say is meant for the benefit of the build. I'd like to see this thing hit the track, so it was a concern of mine that it wouldn't pass tech. The other thing, above all, is I'd like to see this thing built safely.

The pics veilside180sx posted are of an S13 coupe. It's actually an open-track car as far as I know.

[veilside180sx]

I think its an S13 coupe. Thats what my windows and rear glass look like, and that is what my headliner/roof looked like before I hacked it up and put in a bitchin sunroof.

Ding ding...we have a winner.=)

[jrkpgc10_07]

hey if this build is still going on Im down 2 help if the time is right.

[DJButton]

Doesn't change the fact that Mark is one tall dude.

Definitely

I've done that same setup for someone that is 6'3" and 6'5" and both have plenty of room to go, which you also stated that he had long legs which makes it easier because the further back you go the further down you can go with it.

Good luck with your project

Again, with no helmet or rollcage there is no issue, we are amature's and cannot afford to build a custom rollcage, so we ordered a FIA approved autopower 6 point cage, not exactly form fitting, but close. All these things cause for low headroom, I am 5'10" and I just barely squeeze in. Whats done is done, we are taking precautions to make stronger what we weakened, and there is no doubt in my mind that this car is structurally sound.

Blacks are the shiznit! Oh, and nice work!

[Ilvemynissan]

For the ultimate weight reduction...........take out the door chime

[DJButton]

Looks great guys, right on! Too bad I wont see it in person, I'll see you guys tomorrow morning though! Did you guys re-do the framing for the new floor too?

[the converted]

Yeah it's a 90 degree now and give a little more room left and right. As you can see though I can have my head up straight and there's a little room for a helmet. The car is now out of Dan's garage (something else already moved in) and on it's way to its winter storage.

[ca18datsun510]

wow thats gonna be annoying

[the converted]

I look at it this way, At least I won't have to try to keep my head up going around a corner.

[Jake's coupe]

Is the car tucked away for the winter?

[the converted]

Yup in hiding while it trains and toughens itself over the winter like in rocky IV

[Rotors Not Pistons]

haw the turbo come yet for this?

[Jake's coupe]

[Rotors Not Pistons]

hey thanks jake but I have an excuse.......I went to Pembroke Academy

[AceInhole]

I look at it this way, At least I won't have to try to keep my head up going around a corner.

Yeah, that cage is ridiculously low, and it'll be worse with padding added... I just hope you're not a very animated driver. Hitting your helmet on things while driving isn't fun at all

[91rs13]

wow thats gonna be annoying

Not only that--But will it be legal? I am pretty sure most organizations require the helmet to be below the bars. At least the main hoop.

Guess I'll never be able to race 240s. As it stands now with the floor modified and everything there's only an inch between the roof and the top of my helmet.

[MagikDragon]

well i guess I'll just have to take all the responsibility in driving. Its a tough job but somebody has to do it...

[DJButton]

I guess I could share some of the driving too, you know, if I had too.

[Jake's coupe]

I would but im as tall as you Mark.

[niemczykj]

magik, where in danbury are you?... i might have some work i need to do on my car, and all my tools and stuff are an hour and a half away at home. im at school at WCSU and cant go home that often. soo if u wouldnt mind, id like to check out ur car, and maybe fix my squeaky brake?! lol

Dug through SCCA and FIA rules today. About the only thing that I saw pertaining to helmets and roll cages was requiring FIA somefunkynumber.2001 certified padding where a helmet may come into contact with the cage so I guess I can still drive this thing on a track.

Dude, you never cease to amaze me with your awesome wordsauce.

I'm glad someone likes my sense of humor.

I'm glad someone likes my sense of humor.

There's always a few fans in a room full of haters.

That was pretty funny though.
