Plans for winter

What are your car plans for this winter?

Put winter tires on (obviously)
Paint roof black
Remove rear spoiler and wiper, fill holes
Install lower rad hose inline heater
Install oil pan warmer
Get new exhaust
Install rocker arm stoppers
Install ES master bushing set
Make myself various chassis braces, no need to buy them when you can make them yourself for a fraction of the cost (power brace, front inner fender braces, and a 4 point roll bar
Fill unibody rails with stiffening foam (maybe, not sure yet, need more research)

Well if I sell my car: Bus

If I don’t sell my car: Garage it, fix hatch rust (fucking foamed rubber spoiler :finga: ), fix quarter panel rust. remove said foamed rubber spoiler. Engine swap (How hard would an RB26 be?)

Wheels (something 9 or 10 inches wide)
Body work (spolier, fix rust, sideskirts)

And most importantly clean up my wiring.

It all depends if i sell it or not.

save up for a car…

Fab up an extra set of fender braces and ill pay you half what retail is.

I have considered the foam also…i heard it helps a bit but i dont know how the frame would would hold up with moisture trapped inside.

Get the rest of my SR20 built and put in the 240. Then pull the subframe, do the rear suspension and get it ready for next summer :smiley: I’ve decided to also go ahead and do the Z32 tranny on my SR20 or get a set of OS Giken gears.

The race car could use any brackets or braces that are available, and I’d be happy to buy them and use it as the test fitment car.

As for the SE-R:

  1. Install the Nismo bushing kit, which means disassembling the entire rear suspension and replacement of the front control arms.
  2. Remove Intake manifold for a port/polish
  3. Remove Cylinder head for port/polish
  4. Magically reassemble the engine and have it working again somehow. :smiley:
  5. Pray that Jebus delivers a turbo kit my way… :wink:

As for the foam, if I had no sunroof I would do the A,B,C pillars as well but I’m also concerned about making sure the water that goes past the sunroof seal has somewhere to go.

Start a fender brace group buy!

Maybe one of our sponsors could set something up.

1.Not driving my project nissan car through winter.
2.Selling the dr30

Damn Louis, you’re copying me :smiley:

A cage, bracing, and the ES Bushing set is in my plans as well. Already started getting the cage in. Lemme know how the bracing comes along. We may be able to swap some ideas. Oh, and the install of bushing kit; i heard it’s a long job.

Mostly esthetic stuff for me… tint, smoked tail lights, clear corners, new front grill, debadging the trunk, and coilovers. Then rims in spring (Dazz CXR 19x10.5).

That’ll be pretty much all… the bike has most of my money tied up over winter. Race take-offs, sprockets, chain, gp shifter, fork internals, graves exhaust, new stacks, pc3-usb, etc, etc, etc. Racing is expensive :frowning:
