To all the people in NICO with super low 240, how do you guys turn? I have problem turning because my tires rubs underneath my chassis under the fender. Right below the anti-reservoir. I cant even make a fast turn or it'll rub and btw defintley cannot drift, but i've seen slam 240sx drift, but "HOW"????

Its just hitting your "frame"? I seen in japanese magazines they just beat the hell outta the wheel well to make more room.

Get a bigass hammer, and bang up the seams in the wheel wells, then bang wherever else it rubs.

the really really low competition cars you see have the wheel wells removed and replaced with larger "tubs", so that they can have a huge turning radius, and still fit large wheels and tires.

It's not hardcore. It won't mess up your frame.



This is an image that I ripped off of SCC's site. The main seam in the top of the picture has obviously been chopped off and rewelded by SCC.

The easiest thing to do is to simply bend the seam over flat by hammering on it. This gives more upwards travel for the wheel.

Everywhere where there is red scribbling is where I used to rub. I hammered in these areas.

Didn't take long at all.

You also want to remember to move both wiring under the fenders out of the way, or they will get eaten by the tire.

thanks for the info man, that is exactly where my tire is hitting, but its only my left tire, maybe my height is off ionno but yea I guess I have to do that to get the low look. Thanks
