  1. Most licensed welders I know say that flux core is crap... And the flux core welds I've seen haven't been pretty. Anyway, pretty or not - for welding that affects structural integrity I'd never use flux core since flux core isn't recommended when using thicker material than 20 gauge metal. I would assume some 10-12 gauge piping was used for this for example: http://forums.hybridz.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1915&d=1166584750 I have that exact crack... Anyone else? Your subframe/tension rod connectors are pretty similar to the ones I got:
  2. I might've found the right guy to get me the Skyline IRS in place... = ) Other than that. Not much :C
  3. Coming along nicely! : ) I'm growing more and more fond of the ZG-flares Why use allen-bolts rather than rivets though? Just curious... Oh... uh, and I... eh... been thinking about the grille. It kind of reminds me of those BBQ-racks that public cookouts have available. Since they are virtually indestructable I guess : ) Are you going to paint it?
  4. You could ram a brick wall with that grill on the car and it'd still be intact. The grill I mean : ) Looks mean!
  5. Ah, glad to hear that you're patching things up properly : ) Thanks for bit about being an inspiration - glad my not knowing better is coming to good use for some people. Haha! : ) Like I said before, I'm really looking forward to seeing more updates/progress! Keep it up! Um. What are the plans exactly? : ) SBC? BB? L24? L28? RBxx? Race? Dragstrip? Old school restoration? Auto-X?
  6. I got quite a laugh at your dogleg "rust" : ) Here's what mine used to look like: Nice looking project you got there! Looking forward to seeing the continuation! edit; HEY! You primered the car when there's still rust holes in the floor panels?! Please tell me you're not just going to bondo them closed?
  7. Looking good! : ) I like the titanium (?) color!
  8. • http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f127/bjhines/V8%20240Z%20project/roll%20cage/completedfrontendreinforcementwitht.jpg Looks great! I want more updates of this project! : )
  9. No. Skyline R32 GTS - but they're pretty similar.
  10. Give me some feedback on the flares instead : )
  11. Here's the wider version - approx. 100 mm. And the rear IRS has been dragged in place to see if things even remotely line up : P
  12. Here's a bigger pic. There is some curvature to it. But I requested it that way.
  13. These are one-offs, about 2.5" wide. And, since everything is so cheap in the US, most of you guys would just whine about them being pricey : ) But then again, what do I know. Send Viktor an email and ask for a quote? Darensteel.com, mail right here: info@darensteel.com

    I hope I won't get my mouth washed with soap for saying your Z is F*CKING INSANE! : D Keep up the good work!
  15. For a man with good taste in cars and engines - you sure got one freaky sofa : )
  16. Crispy Chicken: That's what I was trying to say... thanks : ) Videos will keep comin' ! bjhines: I sent some of your pics to my welder and told him I wanted something similar but he didn't want to start cutting the fenders/wheel wells. He had some comments on your welds there, but I don't think that's wnat put him off. I think your solution look great nontheless : ) jmortensen: I hadn't seen those pics, thanks! ...and since everyone enjoy pictures, here are some more: (please excuse the tubing for looking a bit sad [it spent a couple of nights outside])
  17. We figured: Why add strength that far in front of the suspension? There won't be anything there except a intercooler and a radiator, and they won't add any forces that need triangulation. That's why
  18. I checked that cradle/IRS out as well : )
  19. 1) Cause I got this for free and supposedly it's stronger than the S13/14, and so on. 2) I wouldn't know : ) 3) That I do know... 4) ...guessing it's the thread "dj Paul" started on his swap. He's already in this thread : )

  21. I doubt it. That's a TIG weld. Most of 'em look like this; Probably just glare - and a whiny cellphone camera...
