Ic, thanks for the insight anyways are you going to posting up when you do the "reinforcement" that would be cool to see.180sxfaktory wrote:If you are questioning if the repairs made to the chassis are rock solid, they are. Old, rotted stuff was cut out, new metal welded in, ground down, and surface treated. Performance? No different than new OEM.
If I see something that I feel needs reinforced, I do it. There is a methodology to my madness. With any hybridization that gets done to a car that never came OEM with the type of engines we are seeing being put into them today, believe me, the chassis needs some reinforcement. As for the chassis repair work, the stuff is spot on, but since the car is going to be powered by a VG30DETT, which will put a lot more stress on the chassis, I will reinforce the areas of the car that need it. I think I enlightened you to it in my other thread. Not necessarily stitch weld, but will reinforce with additional metal bridges at certain stress points. A 300ZX Z32 chassis is much more robust than the S13.
Sure, you hear about people swapping in RB20-RB26, as well as 1JZ/2JZ and LSX but I am willing to bet that a lot of these cars had no reinforcements done. Believe me, just because a swap happens to be doable and buttloads of people are doing it, there are added new stresses put on that chassis and the suspension, and it's a matter of time before things start to go wrong.
Thanks for your support Besides the fact that AJ is an awesome guy, a patriot, brother in arms who I have gotten to know personally, I will treat everybody the same way. There's some give and take here, and I really appreciate the fact that he has gone through great lengths to get this project underway. No, I have too much respect for AJ, aka FAYCEOFF, and for him to do this out of all people is a blessing that I do not count lightly.Zee wrote:
I can completely understand that. I just wanted to see how things were going. I wouldn't want you to rush it out knowing that FayceOff is a good guy and that this project for him is going to make you have a HUGE customer base. I am glad to see you have your pritoties straight and I can't wait to see it done.
On a side note, you are staying in Bahrain?

...and thumbs up on all of your work. I'm glad someone finally decided you can drive around in a powerful STREET car, sitting in A/C and the luxury of cruise control.
Nice! can't wait to see . Also by reinforcing...is it because of the extra weight of the VG or more power the engine produces/will? Aside from reinforcing with braces etc, stitching or of course a cage would satisfy that as well correct? Hmmm, im doing a run of the mill sr into my s13, but later on down the road big power upgrades will be done...would you suggest reinforcement be done also?180sxfaktory wrote:For that, I will definitely do. I see too many people running around with big engine swaps and the damn things are just dangerous and harmful to the chassis and to themselves and to the general public. Good idea!
Thanks for the info. Can't wait for the release.180sxfaktory wrote:

I took the price off because I don't wanna shoot myself in the foot. I apologize, but please wait until FAYCEOFF's is completed, and then when we've gone over the numbers, I will put up an accurate price list.. I do know there will be three levels- master kit, intermediate, starter. Each level will build off the other. The starter kit will get you just the basics.

I gotta tell you, Dale... We had the memorial for my son this afternoon, and I'm a little drunk right now, but this is almost as emotional moment as any other I had today. Jaymee was so excited about being the first to ride in this car. He was the only one I really talked to about my plans for the car, and I know he's excited right now too. Get the car painted blue, please. He would have loved seeing that in the driveway.... I'm thrilled that the real work is underway. AsSalaamAlaikum (Peace and blessings) to everyone.180sxfaktory wrote:...and I will treat this car as it it were mine. This is where Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder is actually a plus.
I'm excited to be working on this project, so stay tuned. AJ, weigh in as necessary, since this is your car.
Thats just awsome.johngriff wrote:Thought I would just bounce on, and post whore it up real quick with some pics!
