oh ya… ^ hmmm

Can anyone think of any advantages or disadvantages to jdm frame vs usdm frame? I suppose jdm would be slightly lighter…but…also…weaker?

Wasnt it according to canadian road standards that it had to be extended?

I couldnt see the frame being less structural seeing as how the 180’s and silvia’s have been fine.

Does that piece of the frame actually do anything though? Besides connect the front piece to the rear? It will collapse if pressure is put on it

As really Car geek as this sounds, If you look at models of the 240s or 180s like the jonny lighting 240sx S13 or the JADA toys S13 they both show that same section of the frame rail missing.
