note frame rails…

thats how they are

my silvia is like that too

jdm s13’s are built like that

What isn’t there can’t rust.

what the hell? theres just a hunk of frame missing,

who can tell me why?

I was about to comment on a missing tail pipe :o

dunno why
can only guess cost cutting measures

super ghetto

but thats how it is

I think it was added to the north american versions to comply with crash standards or w/e.

i think early 89s north american 240s were like this aswell

No, they weren’t.

youd think if it were added to meet safty specs the 180s wouldent be alowed in to canada no?

wired…

yeah that IS really weird…

it is a saftey standards thing that was required when these cars were new (thats why it was added on udm vehicles)

now its not, so thats why you can import them and they are fine

forget where i read that

wow, good to know.

ditto

thats what originally stoped me from buying a 180 for 3500 that had 60,000k 3 years ago.

I thought it was fuckked up cause the frame was missing,
i screwed up

FAIL

hahahah ya ^^

Ya when I took my 180 home after I bought it I almost had a heart attack when I looked at it haha. Your good though, something to do with different regulations over there, as said above.

when i got my silvia

i was winching it on the trailer

and i was like

FUCK ME

where is my frame

lol good to know im not going crazy here i saw that and i was like what in the hell
