Ya i got enzos\_lil\_schumi’s 240sx and the frame has massive rot and i need a shell to transfer everything over on…i just need a frame that will pass safety for around 500 or more and hopefully the engine mounts cuz this car is missing that too. I would jump on a 240 taht has a blown headgasket or something where i can just do an engine swap ---

> [@snowboard\_240sx](#): > > new frame rails are like 60 bucks from nissan…then u just need them put on Really??? Might you or anyone else know the part numbers??? I’ve already fabricated 1 rail and replaced it on my 92, but I’ve started to work on a set for the 89 coupe. It would be much easier to simply buy them and put them on! It’s really not a hard weld / install if you have the right tools. ---

really the nissan dealership here in barrie wanted like 80 per side… and as for putting them in, well… even with the right tools, it isn’t exactly easy to do it properly, if you want it to pass safety… but then again things are a little different here in barrie, i think they’re more strict on the safety… for example… one of my cars failed because the car didn’t come with a rear hatchw wiper, and because the front windsheild wiper squirters werent spraying far enough ---

> [@atutt](#): > > and as for putting them in, well… even with the right tools, it isn’t exactly easy to do it properly, if you want it to pass safety… It really depends on your skill and familiarity with unibody fabrication / restoration. I’ve done this several times from my 77 280, to lincoln towncars, and the proper tools make the job easy enough. > [@atutt](#): > > but then again things are a little different here in barrie, i think they’re more strict on the safety… for example… one of my cars failed because the car didn’t come with a rear hatchw wiper, and because the front windsheild wiper squirters werent spraying far enough I’ve certified six vehicles in Barrie and never had any problems whatsoever. Perhaps it depends on which mechanic your choosing to use? As for them failing your vehicle because it was NOT originally equipped with a rear wiper, they cannot do so. You could negotiate that with them quite easily. The wiper sprayers are a requirement for proper vision and thus MUST spray to cover a reasonable area of the windshield in order to help clear the wippers claer debris or dirt from the windshield.
