View Full Version : New Products for S Chassis

Being that there will never be enough parts for the Nissan S chassis, what kind of performance upgrades are you guys looking for that aren't currently available for the 240sx? We are looking to make new performance parts to make things easier for the DIY guys, we would like your input on things you need.
we are currently in the middle of revising the subframe braces, and making our own version of them something stronger and catchier than the "flat bar" that was available for a short time, but we need more idea on other things the consumers need now!

Stupid idea: Pre-made tubs.
Was thinking about this last night, someone should sell a kit consisting of left and right front tubs and a template showing the end user where to cut. At that point, they'd just weld 'em in.
Not sure what the market's like for this, I'd imagine there are more people out there like me who have limited fab capability at the same location as their car, but can find someone to weld the tubs in...

How about a custom radiator and condensor combo that tucks under the core support (like the Chase Bays one) but also allows for IC piping to pass around the rad for short piping, better transient response all while still retaining factory function of the pop up headlights for S13? I know it'd be expensive, but just an idea.

i also like the tub idea... also i was checking out my battery tray area and its in real bad shape. after i pull up all the corrosion and rust from that area im afraid there will be nothing left other than the window washer rez bottle. are there pre-fabbed battery tray 'pans' ready for weld? if so ill buy one asap

05-19-2012, 10:03 PM
sunroof delete, manual windows, v-mount setup, full car skid plate, oil filter relocation setup, big rear view mirror that doesn't shake/move? Any of these would be awesome! Especially the sunroof delete as they are only available through one company right now for lots of $$$$ as they only come in carbon fiber.
shalezzz
05-19-2012, 10:33 PM
battery trays would be awesome and not hard to make. Also what would be cool but prob not practical. Would be a kit that allows people to chop the frame rails down and have a weld in replacement that doesn't hang low and isn't crusty

sun roof deletes I can make but they will have to be Rivet on. how do you guys feel about riviting on an Aluminum plate to the roof of your car?

If making the DoLuck rear cross bar definitely make those bracket/stabilizer things I posted. DoLuck made them but they are extremely hard to find and actually make a huge difference with the bar... the seat feels nice and solid. Without them the trans tunnel is still able to flex and the bar is just not as noticeable.

Don't know of anyone making these anymore. I know the stock piece is flimsy and gets twisted. Seems like it would be a really easy part to make money off of.

Why not make it to match the Kognition where it's glue on? Did mine with 3M widshield adhesive.

Frame Rails | Boundary Engineering (http://boundaryengineering.com/drupal/node/23)
frame rail braces like this. Common for miatas and very effective for them. Big added bonus is they slide easily over speed bumps and you can jack the car up from any point on the frame rail without crushing it. Simple bent sheet metal

You should just knock it off I know myself and a bunch of other people who paid for them got beat for their money. And I would definitely buy the frame rail brace, they make similar ones for miatas.

So there are alot of good ideas floating around this thread, trying to guage interest on specific items to move them up into the manufacturing stage. If someone wouldn't mind making a list of the desired parts, and fill out names of the members willing to buy that particular part we can definitly start getting some of these pieces out to you.
This Format works just fine for Guaging Interest:
Part: Ex., Premade Tubs.
Members: 1.
2.
Thanks for all the info guys keep the ideas rolling.
