Post by **balidas** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 11:49 am

Greetings.

Would this front strut bar, and rear strut bar with batt tray also fit on a B13?

Thanx

We custom make these just for the S13. We are going to expand into the S14 and what ever there is a maket for.

I should be picking the last run up fom the powder coater Thurs. or Fri.There are 7 left up for grabs.

Post by **rotorimp** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:53 pm

The latest batch is back from the powder coater and they turned out awsome!!!

Here is one installed on my 240 W/ RB

Right now I have 7 left. If you want one my PayPal is [email protected] is 149.00$ shipped. I send them insured and a tracking number as soon as I have it.

Mr. thornton and Mr. Hart yours will go out tomorrow (9 Nov.) I'll e-mail tracking numbers as soon as I get back from USPS.

Those did turn out nice....I finally PayPal'd you. I have been slammed since my return from SEMA. Let me know when you get it in the mail. I may be able to sell a few more of these for you. Will this be a ongoing item for you?

Thanks muchScott (PDQWRX)

did you custom make and powder coat that intake manifold??

Post by **rotorimp** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 8:56 am

I patiently await the rear bar

Did you mean 9 NOV?

I was interested in these, too, until I read about the ABS issue. I'm not even an apprentice fabricator, nor do I have any welding equipment. Unfortunately for me, unless somone can master fabricate a new relocation bracket, I guess I be sol.

STB looks great, though!

Out of curiosity, did you consider constructing a trapezoidal bar arrangement that also mounts to the firewall?

Post by **rotorimp** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 4:19 am

Yep Nov. 9

We did think about making some that go across the engine bay --but there are soo many out there we wanted to make something unique. The ABS is a problem unless you have a welder. If I could get ahold of a couple brackets I could modify them for the ABS guys.

Hey I live in Tucson. and I travel up to flagstaff a lot... Next month (Dec) pretty much anytime I will be able to set you up w/ a s14 to fab on. Let me know what day or days are good. That is if you are still interested on making one for a s14.

Peace,Matt

I've been looking at the vq35de swap in s13 zer...ge=13and notice that there's no strut bar option for that setup since the intake is really close to the firewall. Would you think of fabricating something that might work, like going in front of the vq and maybe mounting to extra spots on the frame front for instance?

Post by **rotorimp** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 3:52 am

I looked at the picture for a bit--I think my bar would fit. Are you doing the motor mounts? I would definitely work with you to figure out a bar. Sounds like a cool project.

Post by **hai1206vn** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 8:18 pm

lol i just brought it up since i was thinking of getting this swap in the future. I don't think your bar will fit though. For me a stiff chassis's more important than big power. When the time comes I'll definitely love to work with you

Post by **rotorimp** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 3:53 am

17 Nov--I have 5 bars left in this run. Looks like I'll get to mock one up on a S14 chassis soon so I can make these for later cars.

Post by **S14DADDY** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 6:07 am

Those look really nice. Greg doesn't back up lame products so they must be. If you need a S14 for mock up i'll volunteer. Mines got a carbon hood(Chargespeed) and a big turbo ka(t67). Greg knows how to get a hold of me. If he trusts you , so do I.

Post by **killedbydeath** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:06 am

well..

im impressed, looks like a solid unit with good fab skill.

i'll be setting up a paypal account very shortly, hopefully i'll be able to pick one of these bad boys up.

i've red throuhg the entire thread and i would definitly be excited to see the rear strut brace with the tray integrated, sounds neat.

so...if i were to purchase a strut bar and send an abs bracket your way, you could mod the bracket and then send both items back at the same time? what would you charge for the bracket transformation?

Post by **rotorimp** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 6:13 am

I would be happy to do the bracket for you-No charge.

Jason,

Could you do a rear one for an S13 Hatch? I have a stereo system in the car, but don't have my sub and enclosure installed bc I have nothing sturdy to mount it to (nor do I feel like dropping the rear subframe to bolt it to the floorpan. I've thought of using a rear shock tower bar for awhile, but they've all been alum and won't cut it. Let me know if you could do one for the back. [email protected] I'll give you more details of what I'm shooting for via e-mail. Thanks man.

I will buy one for my S14 ASAP

Should have the prototype by Jan--I'll do a run of ten or so. I would like to get the heat shield and the rearbar out first.

Post by **nieko** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:59 pm

cant wait for the shield and bar

Post by **s13slideways** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 12:10 am

Is there any new development on the rear strut! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Post by **d3vilskid** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:52 pm

Since you make the big bars outof mild steel, just wondering if you would do one out of chromoly steel?

You got some great fab. skills so i am also wondering if you can fab. up an intake plenum for our car N/A and turbo?

thats be awesome if you could do that.I'm interested in getting a set when will these be available again?

Post by **iitywygms** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 1:58 pm

You still have any in stock? I will buy on the 21st of December. Merry Christmas to me!I want to get the rear bar also. If you have any ready I will pick one of them up also.

Post by **rotorimp** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 2:53 am

I have 4 of Front tie bars bars left. We are working on the rear bars and the heat shield ( Jan )

Post by **smapdee2k** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 4:16 pm

I picked up one of rotorimp's braces and brake-shields for my S13. I'm running an Rb20 with the stock intake mani so there aren't many options out there for braces. I haven't bolted it up to the firewall yet but installation onto the strut towers took all of 10 minutes and the end result looks great! The heat shield was super easy too. Here are a few pics so you RB guys can see what's up.
