sorry to take a while again but has anyone checked that out? im definately eager to see if thats worth it. i just like lsd's for being way more fun. lol

that would be pretty cool though to have. you probobly dont need it, but i guess if you have bad luck with that stuff its a whole lot better going ahead and having that. plus your friends will think your cool. lol

mike you were right about that weld. i ground it down and redid it. now its perfect

but do you all think that is going to be strong enough with the welds being good and everything? especially the way the front is welded on. does that look strong enough? i have a little bracket in there too.

I still have to grind them down and make them nice, gasless welders are hard to make the welds look good but their bead is nice and hot. but theres the bracket and i made another bracket on the front side plugwelded in thats going to help hold the fender skirt part. i also have a very strong bracket that i had machined to hold suspension and sway bar in place.

ya the welds penetrated, i just got it as hot as possible, im using a gasless welder and ive used a welders hammer to verify these welds arent cold. i also welded from the inside and i made a strong bracket for the inside of this joint. thanks for the concern though man. ill show you pictures of it later when i can and youll see what i mean.

without welding, what these guys are talking about are your only options i believe. try the bar idea i think that sounds good, but i would really rather weld new plates in. you can also try pdk fabrications strut tower bar that mounts to the firewall, strut towers, and right above the sway bars, this is what im doing because i had to entirely replace my front frame from the tension rod holders up. it creates a nice triangle that allows no movement in any direction. i would think this would help. check my site for what im talking about

it looks wierd and offcenter in the pictures but they are nice and straight and strong, no funny creaking noises after jumping on them and beating them with the hammer. in the picture of the frame, the front part has been welded since then, im at school right now killing some time and i will get some more pictures up later. the other frame rail is still in place so i can line up the suspension points and make new ones, i have made brackets inside the welded joints to strenthen them and i plug welded them in place. im going to spray por-15 all over the place so what you see on my car never happens again.http://photobucket.com/albums/a172/djpaul8/ please tell me what you all think and any suggestions/ideas because this is my first time welding, body work, frame work, almost any work lol. thanks in advance paul

that is exactly what i was thinking, first i thought they were goofy looking but the final product looks great. keep us informed!

yup sure is

I would punch whoever said that in the face. =)

haha i did not see the timestamp, i am at work and i sometimes get in a hurry while looking for info.

i would definately be interested in a group buy. count me in

Yes im wondering this too. ive been searching around and can only find the same thing

that very well be what i might have to do to my quarter panels. mine are peices of crap. and my out wheel archs (as i see yours were too) were fiberglassed over by the po for some reason. and the rust could run rampant. if you would like to roll to louisville to help me out that would be awesome, but i bet its not likely =(

http://photobucket.com/albums/a172/djpaul8/?action=options this is what im doing to mine. i cut out half the frame rail and am doing the same on the other side. just keep at least one in at a time so you can fit the suspension perfectly back on and level it when its bolted up, or else your going to get goofy steering and or sagging and it just wont handle the same.

on that modern motorsports install. could you use front early z calipers? or would you have to get late z rear calipers? im guessing its the latter but just making sure

ya im gonna run megasquirt. control it with a palm zire 31. =). im just wondering if the benifits would be worth it, because my car came with a crane xr3000 fireball ignition and it is optical triggered.

dont forget these other guys! http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=24,E=0000000000142997083,K=4155,Sxi=13,useTemplate=Case.tem,CASE=10714 heres all the list for us cheapasses!

thankyou everybody for your responses. i was gonna use it but im glad someone here has had experience with it. i do plan on keeping my car a long time and i do not want repairs to be a PITA. thanks again! Paul

so im guessing its not worth it? unless im turning this strictly into a race car?

Hey i saw this on an episode of something, cant remember, but they strengthened the frame of a skyline by putting expandifoam in it. i think this would work. it dries really hard and is really light. and is cheap at your local hardware store! any experience, comments, ideas? thanks in advance! Paul

bring it to louisville kentucky. my friends and i will do it for not that much. my email is pauleitel4@aol.com
