  1. Always check floor pan on these cars. reach under the car and start knocking on the front and edges of the floor Good was to see if it has some major rust issues. Also look at how the radiator support. see if there is some uneven gap between that and the rest of the frame. good way to tell if it was in an accident .
  2. if its JUST the dog leg portion. then I don't think you need a jig. Maybe a piece of pipe that runs across the door opening just enough length to where it doesn't move. The dog leg is just sheet metal. If its the actual rocker, then I would tack a X brace in the door way.
  3. pretty ingenius little mounting setup. where did you get the IC from and what model isuzu?
  4. first 2 idk. switch: is it on the side of the console? Could be the antenna switch. Mine hav=d a toggle switch on the side of the center console.
  5. 240sx LSD aren't compatible to first get Z because of spline count from what I've read.
  6. Um... I know what lead loading is already. idk how lead loading will help me make a flared box. They have body fillers for that type of work.
  7. How do make bend in sheet like a trumpet? I have limited tools so, something simple. I've been trying bangin on some pipe, but doesn't seem to be as acute as I want. Basically trying to make a box that is flared at the top.

    Retro-spec

    I always feel wary when I hear a response with word logistics in it, and apparently the person Doesn't know english very well, another sign of trouble , when the person in charge of responding to inquiries can't respond properly.
  9. Well. An uneducated lady from my take. the UR light coming from welding is more of a risk than actually starting a fire, though thers is still that risk of fire. Next time be like, So you want your kids to be blinded by my welding then? I weld on in the driveway all the time, but I always face the garage and have the RV on the lift of me and my other car on the right. So no one complains until I start grinding.
  10. Good to hear. Just curious, will reporting this affect your premiums? To fix key scratches, you just need to dry/wet sand down to where you don't "feel" the scratch and then spray a new coat.
  11. O_o How does that work:p
  12. Interesting. Maybe a strip right at the top of the windshield.
  13. Reason why I posted the adaptors is because the 240sx crowd usually do a 300zx brake conversion and from what I've read, its a direct bolt. So z31 disc, hub and calipers up from and 280zx disc, z31 calipers, adaptor in the rear From my understanding. Or you can just quit guessing and just get a whole setup from link provided before.
  14. I would go and get a new copy of the key made before the "original" gets too worn and does the same thing again.
  15. I agree . its a bargen. Plus if you run argon and use mig and not fluxcore, you wouldn't need to worry about sparks, unless you weld directly on rusted area. But then you would have to buy/rent a bottle. and runs on 110v. I've seen the 135 Plus still going for $600 used (I know its a rip, but for some reason people still buy them).
  16. Have you thought of using an alternator with a voltage regulator for a generator? I would like see your car in action. How long does a charge last you timewise and how long does it take to recharge? I wouldn't mined building a Z gas/elec hybrid of sorts.
  17. but then it would steer inthe opposite direction. turn wheel right = wheels move left. I think that if you don't mind running power steering, maybe a 240sx steering rack. Since the rack is located behind the spindles on the 240sx it would turn the wheels in opposite direction on a 240zif mounted in LHD. So if you flip it, you have proper steering, but there might be some clearence issues with the column and PS fittings.
  18. could be that the steering locked. Try moving the wheel and see if that helps.
  19. You should really search. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_61&products_id=8 Thought that it said you can use 240sx brakes at one point. Th have been guys that use z31 brakes all around with the brackets. Don't know what else is involved.
