Gutted interior on the street is for retards. I tried it once upon a time, it fucking sucks.


Keep your interior, the weight savings won't be really noticeable, especially if you don't remove the important shit (HVAC shit behind the dash, AC stuff, skeleton in the doors, sound deadening, etc.) Removing your carpet isn't going to save you shit...in fact, it'll just suck worse because your car will look like a rolling box of dogshit and no girls will want to get inside of it.

[krazyfil]

yea its the c pillar bar... but... i was shipped the wrong one.. they sent it to me for a damn civic hb... so i made dew whut i could..lol.. but it looks a lil bit different now... ill post pics up later tonight hopefully... and as far as having the door panels and all that shit... thats just for a comfort factor... im not gonna waste my time taking those things off just for an extra 2.2 pounds.. and plus i put stuff like my cds and such in them

well that doesnt really bother me.. cuz for one i dont have ac or anything.. 2 i did take out the skeleton shit.. and 3.. im single so who gives a fuck if they wanna ride with me.. if the bitch wants to go out... then she can use her own damn gas i aint picking her up unless she puttin out tonight..lol

+1 rep for that!!

I agree, completely a waste. All it does is cause more noise. And the weight savings aren't really necessary.... "zomg, I'll get to the store fastAr because my s13 weighs 10lbs less!"

Alex

[krazyfil]

actually... i work at a truck stop... and after i took out all the crap from my car with everything... it was almost 200 lbs less... so rep that

[e1_griego]

Yeah, ok fine.

But it's not like the local store parking lot has a minimum weight class that you need to get down to.

I just think that it's useless for the majority of people to strip out their street/daily driven cars.

Alex

[chmercer]

mine was gutted

i put it back in

it makes the car shitty to ride in and offers no noticeable performance

totally pointless

[TheSquidd]

My rear seats got in the way of my rollbar, and my trunk carpet smelled like a fisherman's vagina. Other than that full interior for the win.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i once gutted my s13, the noise was unbearable. Not worth it if it's gonna be used on street.

HAAHHHHAA!!

Yeah gutted interior is for the fucking birds unless its a dedicated track car.

Call me an old man (I am) but I'm putting all my shit back in this weekend. Thank god I kept everything.

:werd: :stupid:

save it for a race car... i learned the hard way that you can either have a race car or a street car. it can be somewhat of a hybrid of the two but it won't be a full street or full race car. so what's the point of saving a few lbs taking your interior out? plus, a/c is awesome for a street car. some can live without it, but i need it.

who wants to drive around in a car with a full roll cage, bucket seats, and strapping yourself in harnesses everytime you get in/out of the car just to school, work, etc? you'll just look like an idiot. plus attention to get your car stolen and harassed by cops.

I actually quite like driving with a bucket and harness in my temporary daily. Quite comfortable.

i dont know whut was wrong with your car... but other than my intake and kinda my header.. its a quiet ride... and even if it wasnt quiet... that whut the radio is for... but whutever.. we all have our opinions

[staygold24]

All mines gutted right now to give it a full cleanup everywhere. Nasty shit on the bottom of my rear seats. Anybody know what that little box in the middle of the rear seats is?

I hate all the noises my car makes without the seats so many squeaks that make me want to investigate everything in the car.

[wootwoot]

Shit, I might just start driving with a gloves, nomex suit, helmet, HANS device, and a full ligit harness. It "season" which means asshole old people and tourists like fuck that dont know how to drive. Think people would stay outta my way if I was driving fast fully suited up?

haha... thats funny... i dont know... but i can guarantee if u were in cali... even the old people would prolly try and race you... or start bump drafting you.. people ive noticed are dumb out here

just cuz i drive a 240... doesnt mean i always race it... just weekends.. like i get a couple of hondas and another 240 pull up to me yesterday and start reving their lil engines at me and they take off at a light burn out and shit.. and then a cop pulls me over and said i was racing because the other cars took off like that.. soo.. hopefully people arent as dumb out in florida....lol

[SochBAT]

My rear seats got in the way of my rollbar, and my trunk carpet smelled like a fisherman's vagina. Other than that full interior for the win.

Reason #1 to guttin my coupe was the smell.

I've noticed alot of 240s have the smell of rotting/mold/vagina. Dry ice for full gut mode.

[KidSaru]

If you don't know you better ask somebody.

If that doesn't inspire you, nothing will.

That was a "holy Koguchi cockpit heaven" face, not a "that looks like shit" face.

not me... som 37yr old asian doctor was the previous/original owner of mine.. it was actually really well taken care of except for a small dent up front.. the dash and everything was perfect... not a single crack... so i had no complaints there... just didnt want the interior thats all.. oh btw.. whats the going price on a mint dash.. non hud... someone wants to buy mine and i told him i would think about it.. he offered me 50... is that a good price?

[KidSaru]

And...I asked for inspiration pics not bicker about creature comforts. Who's driving the car? http://i11.tinypic.com/30t4cxe.gif

[KidSaru]

Yes, that's really nice. I am planning on leaving the dash/door panels/ and center console also...Just swapping over to black interior, this blue is killing me.

[krazyfil]

yea the only thing thats killing me.. is the lil black thin right in the top right of the picture aatached to the center console... i hat havin an auto.. but i almost got enough to buy the 5 speed... so i should have a fun weekend ahead of me once i buy it... but ill post another shot of it later tonight.. one from the passnger side looking out the hatch

thats mostly because 240's are un pimp and we only get sleezy ho's up inside of our cars. Not a good thing.

This is my car when I did it with chisels and hammer (dryice is for sissy, hehe actually I'll probably do it with dry ice next time).

Why I did it, because my car smelled like cat from the previous owner. Plus I always thought the whole gutted interior looked great. It's pretty loud though. I can hear everything, which is good also.

I should've welded the holes shut since dust and sand always gets inside now and looks like poop.

I used two coats of primer, two coats of gloss grey, and two coats of clear. All with spray cans and lots of brain cell loss.

Now I gotta strip it all out and weld a cage in and paint it all over again. Awesome.

[staygold24]

so.... anybody know what the box looking thing in the rear of an s14 where the seats are is? Also have a cable running around there too

[Dousan_PG]

iono about u but every girl i know loves a car thats stripped.. cuz she knows whats up when its stripped from inside.. aint gunna be a regular ride to the mall.. its gunna be a bad ass ride to the mall.. lol.. latah

for the dash.. 50 is kind of border line giving it away 75 seems like a better price.. and from your storry seems like its in really good condition so i say 75

[projectRDM]

Seats are is? What kind of language is that?

You mean the silver box with the big yellow decal marked "SRS AIRBAG"? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the airbag control unit.

[CKAMC]

where is all the coupe love?

[WERDdabuilder]

soo...any real reason why you guys gut your car?

i dont see any real reason unless its a track car.

or you just tryin to make an impression for other people like "look at me...i drift/street race"

not tryin to hate or anything.

[staygold24]

Yep guess its the airbag control unit. My bad.

From my perspective theres barely any room for people in my car with me being in the drivers seat pushed all the way back. Only a midget or someone really short can ride in the back seats comfortably. So removing the stuff in the rear doesnt hurt anything.

However, I think it looks pretty stupid. I know some people will take performance to extremes in their cars with stripping and stitch welding their dd. I personally just dont like the look but removing extra weight from your car is the cheapest performance mod you can do.

[McRussellPants]

I gutted my car because

-it smelled like cat piss and a inner city drainage ditch.
-it looked like shit
-it sounded like shit, Genuine mono sound, while cool in 1992, is not so fresh now.
-I was bored.
-S13 interior is made of tweed and burlap and is not baller.
-I don't have AC, so chicks don't like my car anyway
-added up it was probably substantial weight savings

people should note, that rattlecanned interiors look cool for a day.


then they get dusty, dirty, scratched and otherwise wack.

[aznpoopy]

i took out my rear seats and some of the trim because i had an electrical short and i was going nuts trying to trace all the wires at 2am in the dark. i haven't put any of it back in yet because i'm lazy.

Lol @ stripped ass uncomfortable interior in an automatic car. Not even a fucking passenger seat.^

My old s13 used to be gutted, i was embarrased as hell everytime some new bitch would ride in it, it was annoying sounding everytime it would rain, and there was fucking rattles everywhere. My current one has a perfect interior that isnt getting gutted until i get my cage in. Just make sure you keep all your shit in case you change your mind at all.

well the only thing i have left is the passenger seat and seat belts... as for the noise.. mine is really quiet... like i said before.. the previous/original owner took really good care of it.. had all the maintenance records in the glove box and even had the battery warranty card from when he bought the battery... so mine is nice.. and usually the chicks that go with me.. already know whut im into... so they are already excited and wet before they even see the car..lol

[93 240 s13]

ok.. couple of questions...

1.what does stitch welding the interior do?
2. what is a good paint to use that wont scratch away real fast
3.woul it hurt anything to remove the supports on the rear strut towers if you do not have a roll cage?

so far in my gutting ventures i have lost well over 250 lbs, and still have stuff to remove if i choose to.
i chose to gut mine and make it a 2 seater... becuase 240's should not have been a 4 seater car to begin with.
and now i dont get asked to give people rides as often ;)
thats a bonus

and my experiance with girls and my car, they dont mind it being stripped...
i have never had a girl tell me my car is ugly or that it loks bad becuase theres no carpet or rear anything..

just my opinion though.

My girls never minded. They see it and first question is "what happened to your interior?" 2nd question is "Is it fast?" :aw: :naughty:

As far as strut tower supports, I believe they are just supports for the back seats.

[BustedS13]

stripped interior is great.. for a track car. i had mine gutted for a long while, but now i'm taking a different approach: i'm buying 100 square feet of sound deadener and covering every panel. even with full interior, the 240 sounds like a tin can.

here's some pics of an s13 hatch gutted, but with a new interior installed. this is what i'm shooting for.

It is a drift car.
Nobody needs a fucking harness bar.
Koguchi rules.
You have to keep in mind he is Japanese and been drifting for a long time. This isn't Pussy American drifting where everybody is a total bitch.

and P.S. do you even see a harness in there? I don't.

[KidSaru]

BustedS13 +1

That is the greatest h/b interior I have ever seen.

[Dream240]

All mines gutted right now to give it a full cleanup everywhere. Nasty shit on the bottom of my rear seats. Anybody know what that little box in the middle of the rear seats is?

I hate all the noises my car makes without the seats so many squeaks that make me want to investigate everything in the car.

I take it you have an S14. That's the airbag computer.

Safety 101: Anything connected to the yellow wrapped wiring harness is for your passive restraint system (airbags) DO NOT CUT OR DISCONNECT!!

As far as gutting your car? Sorry I can offer no inspiration for doing this, aside from the fact that all your wiring is easier to get to when you're troubleshooting or modifying.

Other than that, it completely blows. You hear every rock hit the under-carraige, every suspension squeak, and just about every other noise that a car can make. I'm going the other way around and replacing the interior carpet with a new piece, new upholstery for the back seats, got rid of dash/door carpet trim pieces, and my old S14 front seats for now. Plus i'm doing a complete interior dynamat install.

Honestly for the sprung weight savings you get, I'm making up for that in drivetrain mods to free up horsepower, so more weight but more revs too. :)

Really the weight savings won't be as noticeable as having another passenger in your car or anything. Just keep the insides....unless you have vaginal secretions lingering in your trunk..... :barf:

EDIT: ooops, I only read this first page beofre I posted. :Owned:

Oh yeah I almost forgot. When I gutted my car for some interior work I found: some panties, a couple batteries, an old traffic ticket, money, and food chunks of a mysterious sort all crammed down the holes in my trunk where the jack and side markers are. Still can't get all that food shit out. Prolly why my car still smells like a bum sleeps in it. :(

[ixfxi]

interiors are for women and homosexuals.

real men dont need ammenities.

[ixfxi]

Gutted interior on the street is for retards. I tried it once upon a time, it fucking sucks.


Keep your interior, the weight savings won't be really noticeable, especially if you don't remove the important shit (HVAC shit behind the dash, AC stuff, skeleton in the doors, sound deadening, etc.) Removing your carpet isn't going to save you shit...in fact, it'll just suck worse because your car will look like a rolling box of dogshit and no girls will want to get inside of it.

I hate when people say stupid shit like this. Its a car, keep what you need - take our what you dont need. Who needs rear seats, what do you have kids or friends that are midgets? Fuck that shit, tell them to take their own car. Thats what FWD 4-door sedans are for.

Anything BEHIND the driver/passenger seats is fucking useless anyway, especially if you have a rollbar and some harnesses. No one can sit back there, or shall I say safely. I'de never want to be in an accident and be in the BACK of a 240SX.

If your car isnt making much power, forget it.. dont bother stripping your car. The lightness wont make a shit of a difference. If you still have original suspension, shit tires, old bushings, etc.. keep your interior, you've got bigger problems to think about it. The fact that you're driving a 15+ year old rolling junk pile should be reason enough NOT to waste time stripping your crapheap.

BUT, if you happen to have a nicely built and maintained car, good seats, harnesses.. and trashed those dinky automatic seatbelts, then hey.. go for it. Stripping the interior is great and saves a good amount of useless weight that you'll have to roll around with.

JEEEEEEEEZ.. think about it, we should make a poll.. how many people on Zilvia still have automatic seatbelts in their S13??? AGH!

[Chasmoore04]

My carpet and back seats were out for a while (fixing rust in the floor) and I have to say the noise level from rocks and shit hitting the underside of your car becomes unbearable for a daily.

[chmercer]

What his (Koguchi) drift vid's and you will clearly see he doesnt wear harness's.

does any japanese driver wear seatbelts? much less harnesses? thoes bestmotoring trials they dont wear helmets or seatbelts.

"i'm buying 100 square feet of sound deadener and covering every panel. even with full interior, the 240 sounds like a tin can."

LMK know how that goes. i want my car to weigh 4000 pounds from sound deadening. this is not sarcastic im dead serious. are the tires spinning? i cant hear, turn down the beethoven. hold my shrimp and white wine i gotta pull the ebrake.

[Brian]

Koguchi doesn't care.
Koguchi rules.

[McRussellPants]

You need to wear your harness while driving because if you don't the buckles start clanging into things.

its pretty distracting.

Driving at events without a helmet and the windows down is so much more fun.

Then a series that sweats SCCA rule book rolls though and freaks out that I don't have one wheel stud. Im like, Fuck you clown I have a wet cell sitting next to me without a box, does it look like I give a fuck?

I once saw Kazama driving a S13 convertible with no helmet no seatbelt

Hanging half his body outside the car

Then went to rodeo drift

Tsk tsk so irresponsible

I had to cover my imaginary little brother's eyes when watching that video

Stripping interior on street car makes no sense tho

I mean really, its always mo classy with interior in

Brian knows what I'm talking bout

[Brian]

ALL class.

I used to drive a gutten s14 daily.
Fun for a little while, then it gets stupid.

Now I do it full interior luxury style.

Sorry to get off topic, but lets just clear something up.

Adding some sound deadening material doesn't necessarily weigh that much.

the Dynamat Extreme pads weigh in at 0.45lbs/sq.ft. And one box of bulk contains 36 sq.ft of material.

http://www.dynamat.com/technical_specs_dynamat_xtreme.html

So.... 0.45 x 36 = 16.2 pounds.

And according to the dynamat website, one box is MORE than enough for a complete car interior. Hell even using TWO boxes would only be 32.4 lbs.

Alot of added weight? Hell I take shits that weigh more than that.

Its all about Shagg Carpet Floor mats, iF you dont know what Im talking about You shouldnt.

This isn't Pussy American drifting where everybody is a total bitch.
Quoted for the ultimate truth. BH for president.

Gutted interiors make zero sense on street cars.
They aren't worth it.
If you really want to be cool, run a full cage with full interior.
My old hatch was like this. Even kept the rear seat and sunvisors.
When my coupe gets a cage, I'm keeping the full leather interior.
There's no reason to punish yourself with a gutted car.

[Ian]

uhh..yeah my street car has full interior, back seats (back doors)

am i riding on my frame rails? yes
is it loud as fuck? yes
is it ghetto? no

that's what's wrong with the 240 crowd...clowns with no common sense


who the fuck wants to wear a hearing aid at 22 years old because they drive around a shit bucket that sounds like percussion grenades every time you drive over a handful of gravel?

[CKAMC]

SL style FTW!

I would only run interior to portions of the car that will have people in it (the front) the rear gets stripped/cleaned. rino'd because its where I put all my tools and wheels when I am on the way to the track.

Dont track? clean the car (every fucking corner) and get a hvac can or two, light them up and come back in an hour.

I like SL style... done right its an ever more enjoyable than what you would think. but once again... to each is there own.

[staygold24]

Only reason I like having the rear seats out is that the drivers seat can go all the way back for boogie times in the car. Detachable steering wheel adds to the fun.

I'm cleaning my interior for now with it all out. If I can find a clean way to make it look clean like that blue s13 posted I might just leave it out.

Post more pictures of good stripped interiors. Its the point of this thread.

['90RPS13]

Busted, where did you get the interior.

[staygold24]

I dont believe that car is actually his. I think its what he said he was trying to do.

The interior on the cars done by the guys at pittspeed. The people who put the ls1 240 on pinks.


EDIT: Off topic but Does anybody know what size pin goes into the plastic thing in the rear of the s14 that covers the seatbelts?

['90RPS13]

Yeah that shit was sick.

yep, not mine. guy posted the pics over on 240sxforums. but it's pretty much exactly what i want. reminds me of the interior of a 240z.

[myriad]

Heated topic. I like my full interior (cloth > leather) however nismo mounts make EVERYthing rattle - not fun.

[chmercer]

i have a roll bar and my back seat is in. its totally pointless, noone could ride in it. but its better to look at. and it dosent scratch my steering wheel if i put it in the back. so. yeah.

[seksi240]

Mine was gutted once:

Here's mine now. Not as nice as that blue hatch's, but it was my first attempt. Sorry for the bad pic, sun light got in the way...but you get the idea:

i love hearing the sound of a raw turbo motor coming straight out the exhaust...

versus listening to an interior full of rattling 15 year old panels.

dynamat doesnt work, it just soots up your interior with ugly sticky shit. if you want to cover up the noise, dont use dynamat - use some type of sound insulating foam.

dynamat is one of the biggest regrets i've ever used, besides mcrusselpant's mom

roll down your windows

buy new fasteners for your panels

tighten up the bolts holding your dash and seats down

good as new

[staygold24]

so... what sizes are the fasteners for the rear panels that cover the seatbelts in an s14 eh?

My whole car rattles pretty bad and creaks in the rear. Id like to fix it but most of the time my music and exhaust cover it up.

[Ian]

i don't fucking know, i'm pretty sure they're standard


if you're too lazy to rip the panel out, go to an autoparts store and say you want a pack of plastic interior fasteners because i'm pretty sure they're all the same

[ixfxi]

roll down your windows

buy new fasteners for your panels

tighten up the bolts holding your dash and seats down

good as new

put a muzzle on your mouth

seriously, NONE of that shit you mentioned will make a shit of a difference as to how a 15+ year old car will sound. especially a 15 year old car with stiff suspension. sorry bro-ski, but a lot of those panels will rattle whether you like it or not. might as well strip out the useless shit...

what are you fucking retarded?

if the panels are rattling, there's a reason...think about it

what, do you think i've never been in a car with stiff suspension? i know exactly what's making noise. Yes the chassis will flex and things will not be as quiet as before. Yes road noise transfers more through the pillowball mounts that replaced the rubber shit.

But if a panel rattles, it's because it's loose. So fucking tighten it up.



Where's Jay? His interior is better than it was from the factory...I bet his doesn't creak and rattle that much.

[yokotas13]

Gutted interior on the street is for retards. I tried it once upon a time, it fucking sucks.


Keep your interior, the weight savings won't be really noticeable, especially if you don't remove the important shit (HVAC shit behind the dash, AC stuff, skeleton in the doors, sound deadening, etc.) Removing your carpet isn't going to save you shit...in fact, it'll just suck worse because your car will look like a rolling box of dogshit and no girls will want to get inside of it.
exactly!!
thats why i only took out the shit i had to to be able to fill up my car with wheels

[staygold24]

Where's Jay? His interior is better than it was from the factory...I bet his doesn't creak and rattle that much.

I would love to see his full interior. suede and all.

[switchflip]

well that doesnt really bother me.. cuz for one i dont have ac or anything.. 2 i did take out the skeleton shit.. and 3.. im single so who gives a fuck if they wanna ride with me.. if the bitch wants to go out... then she can use her own damn gas i aint picking her up unless she puttin out tonight..lol

i wish someone would tighten up your mouth.. hehe

if your car rattles, its not because its loose.. its because our cars are inexpensive tin-cans. 15+ year 2600-2700lb old tin cans, at that.

have you ever taken apart your car before? panels are fuckin friction fit into place, with bullshit screws to secure metal panels to metal body. find me ONE s13 or s14 where the rear speaker panels dont rattle like shit. our cars are slapped together.. you gotta do more than replace a few fuckin clips and fasteners, tighten a few bolts to get things Lexus GS400 quiet..

i love this shit, people actually use the REP system. whats the point of rep'ing? i dont get it, this is cheap shit for newschoolers.. let the new kids who just joined zilvia "build" their rep so they can be accepted by everyone. what a waste of time.. fucking tools.

['90RPS13]

I thought this was a picture thread for gutted interiors? Why is everyone bickering and bitching like a bunch of women on the rag. (no offense to any ladies on here, either.)

Some people prefer it full interior, some dont. I have had both. Personally I hate my back seats and thats the only thing I take out any more. Just like Grant, I have to have a place to put tires and rims! haha.

So, Change your tampons so your vagina doesnt hurt anymore and lets get back to posting pictures, ladies.

To stay on topic, here are pictures of my gutted cars.

Sorry to get off topic, but lets just clear something up.

Adding some sound deadening material doesn't necessarily weigh that much.

the Dynamat Extreme pads weigh in at 0.45lbs/sq.ft. And one box of bulk contains 36 sq.ft of material.

http://www.dynamat.com/technical_specs_dynamat_xtreme.html

So.... 0.45 x 36 = 16.2 pounds.

And according to the dynamat website, one box is MORE than enough for a complete car interior. Hell even using TWO boxes would only be 32.4 lbs.

Alot of added weight? Hell I take shits that weigh more than that.


i'm using B-Quiet Ultimate, which weighs in at .35lb/sqft, aka 35 pounds total added weight, covering the ENTIRE INTERIOR... not that much. i'm adding in some particle board, a cage, and some automotive carpet, but removing the original interior from the front seats back... all in all it won't weigh much more than stock.

Yet your join date is when? and mine is when? oh yeah...


You said if panels rattle, so I pointed out how to secure them (which works because i've done it on OLDER cars...)

If you've got METAL rattling around there's a problem that you need to address with your chassis


creaking on the other hand....that's a whole different beast

['90RPS13]

haha, just when you think you read it all:

I don't care about this stripped vs. non-stripped interior debate...I never asked if I should gut it or not, truth is...I don't give a fuck what you think. I asked for PICTURES OF STRIPPED INTERIORS to get inspiration from, all this pansy ass blabbering back and forth can go in a PM...

Hey whatever happened to your Blacktop powered S14? I remember when I sold you that old OEM hood cause yours busted a latch and flew up on you.

damn, that was a long time ago. Do you still have the engine at least?

On a side note: i agree "member since age" has nothing to do with a member's knowledge. I've been here for a while and I'm always learning new stuff. I still have yet to pull a KA completely out. Yeah i know i'm lame.

yeah i remember that hood. saved my life haha
thanks again
yes spot welding should be done by this weekend the go under the car and finish that stuff!

color? not sure yet its still in the air.
i have white paint, grey paint and my car color's paint as well as black. so ...no idea yet. :(

[240trainee]

+1 for Black paint.

[Brian]

do it red Dous...

[Dousan_PG]

its so much work to mask off the garage and set everything up and repaint it. its 3 stage paint setup. ugh.

black is boring as shit
everyone does black. black shows nothing. its just dark and boring. its like owning a black car. unless its a sweet new car or some luxery car. black is trash.

[chmercer]

chamelionaire

[240trainee]

I dunno, I've always liked Black chassis paint, it also has the benifit of going with whatever exterior color you want, when you decide to change colors.

and I just don't like gray, and white gets dirty quick

HAHAHAHA, you trying to embarass me or something?

I borrowed Jake's HLs and wrecked them.
I have fixed my car mostly.
I do have plenty of time to work on my car.
No swap yet, I'm a big boy and save up for my mods.
As a matter of fact I am working on it right now, in my living room, lengthening my wiring harness to move my fusebox out of the engine bay.

Whatever, feel free to AIM me or something if you're bored and need someone to argue with or something.

Do you even have a car? I thought you just had a broken Celica and a broken S14 that you paid too much for?

[Pank]

ohhhh Svensko, this is the last place you need to flex nuts. You have a stock s14 and a celica that your dad is putting fucking NITROUS in.

Chris may have stole my headlights, but he also stole my heart.


and flaming Chmercer? c'mon

Nuts offically unflexed. I'm still looking forward to that Cheeseburger sans pickles swap into your S14 though inertiaticism! :drool:

[93 240 s13]

again ill ask and hope for a answer...
what does Stitch Welding do?

Stiffens the chassis. You more than likely could have found that out with a simple Google search.

In fact... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Stitch+welding+chassis&btnG=Google+Search
Click the second link. It took me less than 30 seconds to find the answer. How long have you been waiting to be spoonfed?

[KidSaru]

Someone answered you already.

Edit: Nevermind, ThatGuy saves the day again.

[93 240 s13]

lol a few days :)
well why should i search for the
answer when i have smart people on here i
can ask and get a answer...

even if you get a roll cage is it worth welding?

[KidSaru]

lol a few days :)

Is that dynamat in your trunk? I'm planning on doing that soon, I just have to get a new carpet piece. Does it make a difference in the outside sound filtration? How about for the exhaust noise and freeway noise?

Looks really clean, good job.

I agree, the white in the engine bay is nice. Good work.

[S13SilviaGirl]

Any one have pics of JDM Rice II's interior? I can't find the ones we had...

That is a clean interior.

[kuruptR]

I'm going for the best of both worlds... First I gutted the car, removed deading, useless wiring, rear speakers, panels, metal brackets, nuts bolts and so on.

then found some mint carpet... gutted the stinky ass foam off the bottom of the carpet, (holds moisture ) then put the carpet back in. carpet + door panels dont weight anything... but makes a world of a differnce for cabin noise.

[KidSaru]

That's what I was planning on doing in the future once I piece together a black interior.

I'm in the process right now....

What are you guys using for paint on the inside? I want to just rattle can it because its easy, how does it hold up?

What about appliance paint?

Thanks,

[spools14]

I used PPG Techstar. Everyone I talked to said it was tougher than automotive paint. It's an Industrial single stage paint with an optional hardner, which I used.

[spools14]

wow. did you have to do any modification to get the s14 interior to fit inside the s13?

lol, yes. I still haven't figured out how I am going to incorporate interior door handles yet. Dash requires a decent amount of cutting underneath and test fitting, as do the door panels.

[bo2o]

s14 in s13 look so clean... more close up pic's plz!

how are u gona do the climate control?and cluster?

show some of your stitch welds and how u relocated ur fuse box to the inside.... looks hella tella clean!

Using s13 climate control. S13 gauge cluster is already installed.

Here's a few OLD pics of the engine bay:

http://www.msprotege.com/members/[email protected]/KA%20Front.JPG

In the pic below all of the wiring has been ran. Headlight wiring was ran through the frame rails. Coil was mounted on the block, wiring harness was taken apart and rerouted so the dis. wiring runs around the back of the engine. Nothing was legnthened, except for the headlight wiring. Again this is a old pic, I'll try and snap a few more once the turbo is mounted and intake manifold/tb are finished:

see, there we go. a real man, who knows how a 240sx should be built. its clean and functional, free of all the useless bullshit found in a stock 240sx.

i see you removed your rear seat supports - funny, i did the same thing!

that shit does NOTHING

dynamat SUCKS the balls

[spools14]

Aaron, what kind of battery box is that?

[KidSaru]

Rear seats in a f/b are useless anyway unless you're 3'. The removed rear seat supports makes it look so much more clean too.

[DisEpyon]

some pics of mine.
no need for a battery box......... that is if you have optima :hs:
nothing fancy, just like everyone elses interior thats painted white.

[Dousan_PG]

battery box , i got it from SPLparts.com its badass
even if i had a optima or dry cell i'd still get a box
loading car up w/ wheels and tires, dont want anthing to do anything funky back there. keep it clean kids
so better to have the battery boxed up. thing weights next to nothing anyways, its not like im 'saving weight' w/o a box. if i cared that much about the 2-5 or so pounds id eat one less meal before i drive.

ill put my electrical back in tomorrow
its so easy to install and remove. its the best. its like 8 wires to back? i think...with the turn signals and all that business. its cool. i love PAINLESS. shits easy as hell

[Brian]

ohhh that last white interior is pretty nice.

clear windows too.

impressive.

[S13-Silvia]

DisEpyon, good job on the interior. Keep up the good work.

[DisEpyon]

Thanks for the compliment!!!! s13-silvia

to dousan, sorry if i offended you in any way , by saying no need for a battery box. i was just making a small joke, maybe i should of put jk to the side, to clear things up. geee

i do have 2 battery boxes, one is just a black plastic box i bought from the auto store and the other is an aluminum box i got from ebay. i might put it on some day, just never got around to it and being lazy, it is clean the way it looks right now, if anything it gives a lil bling! bling! hehe. to me it looks clean both ways.

[240trainee]

its cool. i love PAINLESS. shits easy as hell

God I hope so

[driftsilvias13]

what do you guys use to paint your interiors? do you use rattle cans w/ clear or paint w/spray gun? when i did mine it didnt turn out as good as you guys(white interiors)

[Dousan_PG]

i used rustoleum gloss white paint brushed on first
that was like the primer. shit sticks to ANYTHING
then rattle can w/ appliance gloss white
seems to be real hard when it fully dries
should be coool
easy to touch up too.

[TruckFortySX]

Meh, full interior for me unless it's done super nice like some of these....

Gutted drift cars are so in the past. Full interior is the jam.

and what was my fucking point dumbshit?? people obviously give a fuck about it since they paint it clean. i dont. try to digest the information before flamming

[420sx]

it looks clean yes. but soon it will look like shit. obviously if u paint it so nicely in the first place, you obvously give a damn about how it looks. your car, your choice. but white is first color to look like shit when its messed up.

speaking of rustoleum. very good stuff.

if you got access to a gun and a compressor i very much recommend industrial coatings like Duraplate from Sherwin williams and Epoxy. very nice THICK industrial paint. it wont scratch easy or peal or chip. they use it mostly to paint tanks but it will work real well for interior. very durable paint. CHEAP too.

[Ian]

Get some industrial spray in bedliner and paint your interior with that if you care


Real race cars aren't used as tire racks either. Which is why professional race cars can stay pretty clean.

If you really want a stripped interior and plan on using your car as a tool shed, put some towels down before you put your shit in. Or just deal with it.


Good paint won't just come up immediately though, but it will get scuffed to shit pretty fast.

I won't put my interior back in my S14, just because I don't have 90% of it and my passenger's side window needs to be put back on the track after every time you roll it down haha. But my car never sees the street either.

hmm.... really any good epoxy would work great. as long as u are not using urethane paint cause its very thin. epoxy has that specific orange peel tetxture to it.

and if you you it just as a track car thats trailed to the events, then god bless, use anything you like.

[hybrid_eg]

daily driver keep your interior.. really no use in taking it out.. race car is a different story.. like guys above said.. want a cage.. go around your full interior... but then again why have a cage in your street car.. you're better off driving a total bucket and having a dedicated track car.. that is registered if you really get an urge to whip it on the street :-)

[KidSaru]

That was discussed 5 pages ago...

[forum04pl]

what is everyone using for prep before paint, im pulling my rollbar this week to add onto it a little and am planning on finishing her up nice. im planning on using the usual dry ice routine to get the deadening off, but is everyone grinding/sanding the remains and sealer? any tips would be appreciated so i dont end up wasting a ton of time.

[bardabe]

I just scuffed mine, and then cleaned it with mineral spirits. no runs (so far)

[forum04pl]

ecuastyle84 it looks really nice, you did a great job of taking out the foam on the hatch. I'd gut mine, but my brother had his Integra stripped back in the day. The sound was the biggest turn-off for me, are 240's that bad?
