Any chassis re-enforcement items, custom bell housing, cooling rear diff cover, exhaust flanges(laser cut lucky ass), Intake flanges, adapters to throttle bodies, boxed/directed air for oil cooler and radiator, blockage plates, 20v 4ag water outlet relocator, and the list goes on..
Your very lucky to get access to the laser and cnc mill, not even a small shop could afford a laser cutting machine, last time I talked to someone, it cost more then a half of million, probably closer to 3/4 of a million.. They make work out equipment, so they have everything you can possibily think of. Get creative.

do something we've never seen before...
I've never seen titanium sway bars.
you can always make bracing like a powerbrace...
definetly try the subframe spacers

Why subframe spacers? He should skip the bushings all along and make solid aluminium ones. Thats atleast what I would do...

ok, i got the list.. now i need to get the info of how to do that stuff... parameters.. right now im in talk with the welder to make a manifold for a ka-t project... the rotors will take a while...
i know im lucky... i just need to figure out the way to make it... i mean.. exact copies of whats out there.. or at least know what to do... anyone with CAD experience that can help me out? i need the drawing!! maibe we can do some business...
but cnc my name on the valve cover is a must... yeeaa baby!

drilling your own rotors is a really shitty idea. id deffinitley pass on that one.
dude whos never seen ti strut bars - go check out arc.

Since i gave you the idea, do you think i can send you my valve cover so you can write my name in it?

I'm pretty good w/ AutoCAD in design and drawing, if i dont know how to do it, my teacher will, lemme know what you want to do and we'll talk

well, the thing is.. i know how to use autocad too... but! i need a part... or a drawing of a existing part to make it... what I need is someone with a aftermarket part to massure it... and then make the drawing...
95Blue240sx

Well i think we can help with that, just let us know what part you want to make.
If you make a rear strut bar, id buy one off you. I can give you measurements of the front strut bar if you want.

so you really just need dimensions then? If you make the bushings and radiator cooling panel i'd probably buy one

Should make Some aluminum brackets and shit in the engine bay. Like the radiator hold donws, power steering brackets, and other misc brackets in the engine bay. That would be pretty pimp and wouldnt cost much. Another plus would be that you could sell them because no one else makes them. I know it seems kinda ricer'ish but id like to spice up my engine bay with some bling hahahaha

that would be soo simple and not really an upgrade. radiator air guard for top and bottom to channel are into, brake ducts that mount to tension rods .. etc

thats what im talking about... take a picture, and try to draw the dimension.. then i`ll make the drawing... post it up, u guy can make some changes, then i`ll make it... take pics.. and maibe one of you could test it.. how is that? and for the selling part>> i dont think I would sell something (im a bad seller).

^^^ I see what you mean, but look at what is being requested of you, if you have facilities and materials, these things are selling themselves, and if you can make resonably priced 5-lug hubs for the S13, you'd make a killing
