theghosttanker Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have a 240Z shell up on a rotisserie right now and am just finishing up a floorpan/doglegs replacement on it. I read an old thread many months ago about rewelding some of the spotwelded seams to stiffen the car up, and I figure now's the time, but for the life of me I can't find the thread. I want to grind slots between every spotweld through the top layer of metal and then plugweld the layers together, but WHERE are the most important places to do this? This car will never see more than 400 HP, and the suspension setup will be Tokico struts and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Search "stitch weld" and you'll find tons of stuff from me and many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd have to say side to side across the front and back seams of the floorpan. You'll get the most bang for the buck reducing torsional twist although a cage is where true strength lies IMHO. There are spot weld drills that would make a better hole for welding than grinding a slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
