so you want $90+$6 for the hardware? I don't think the bolts are under the car. I'll check.

Ouch! It's going to be about(or over) $200 shipped. Looks like you have to drill holes under the core support.

Sure. I moved the hole, so drain plug seats in the middle. Keep in mind that I only have 12 of them. I couldn't have done this without one of my friends. He's been super nice and helpful.

Sorry, I have only 2 sets of hardwares left and that's it. It's not easy for me to get them more. Sorry, there's no hardware option from now on. They are just regular bolts, nuts and spacers, so you can buy them from any hardware stores. They will run about $5-$7 including tax depending on the store. They look like these. You can stack nuts instead of spacers.

so i bought two of these, sukhee brought them to my house on tuesday (thanks dude). finally had time to install one on my hatch today (even though it's only 37 degrees outside). install was fairly easy except for the damn rear bolts, not a lot of room there to get the nut started. couldn't get the front bolt in, but more on that later. the plate is pretty thick and i don't think it will be an issue, the four bolts keep it on just fine.

so here's some dirty pics of an install, sukhee's chassis pics look way to clean. my car has 178,000 miles, it was $1500 and it runs, ac works too.

plates + hardware

on the caryeah, i didn't clean it off. fingerprints + grease + dirt all over the place, i'm not worried.

so i could either put in the four bolts shown, or do the front bolt + the backs, but i couldn't get it lined up to put in all five. if he had done the front hole like the middle ones (you can see what i mean in the pics) i may have been able to get it lined up, but my car is like an inch off. i'm betting the issue is with my car NOT the plate, my pos is used and abused and it shows.

here's some pics of the rad support on the passenger side.i can move this with my fingersi don't think it's supposed to look like that.

overall i am very happy with the plate gotta put the other one on my coupe now. would definately buy again if i had another chassis

Hey, man. Thanks for the pics and comments. Can't believe you did that today. It's freezing outside. I don't work on my car if it goes below 50.

I forgot to tell you this. You have to use a wrench to hold a nut and start the bolt. This is a trade off for having stretched rear end. It's hard to install, but it covers more area under the steering rack. Do the middle holes(tension brackets) first and move to rear and front. It's easier that way.

For the front, I checked with total 3 s13s, and that hole was enough to move the bolt around. It looks like your rad support got hit and backed off a little bit. 4 bolts should be fine to hold the plate, but if you use a file(Don't use Dremel), you can make the front hole slightly bigger.

pfft! 37* is warm!

They look great. I need to order soon.

Nemo (Sukhee? is that your name?), could you give us the specs on that hardware? I assume they're all M8x1.25 (right?), but what's the lengths and the length on the spacers?

Thanks.

Nemo, may have missed this but what is the thickness (looks like 1/4 inch) and what grade of Aluminium is it?

Thanks

It's 080. You can't bend this with hands or tools. You must use industrial bender otherwise it won't be straight and pretty. I'll take some pics that shows how thick it is. Thinner than this is too thin and thicker than this is too expensive. This is just about right all around.

Cool, I should be emailing you week after next (after pay day) about getting a few of them. Have a local friend wanting the Greddy pan version as well, so keep us posted on that.

Thanks

Here you go. They are just regular 10mm bolts that you can find on 240. You just need to get right length. Long one for the front, short ones for the middle and the others for the rear. You need 2 nuts for the rear holes.
