Do any of us fucking work for the Department of Transportation? How the fuck could any of us tell you, with authority, that it's completely safe?
Do you trust your life to a goddamned internet forum?
I think we're dealing with deeper issues here.
I can tell you, in my engineering experience and from what I've seen while building
multiple cars for track and street,
I felt like it is perfectly safe for my street-driven S14. I don't know if that's enough for you or not.
About welders: the fabrication thread is a great place to look, because I asked this exact question before I started. The welder linked from Home Depot is very similar (if not the exact model) to the one that they rent, and that's what I used to do mine. Took me two full days to do it, but the welding alone is the fast part - the prep is what takes the majority of the time.
