[HalveBlue]

[Dousan_PG]

nothing really
i stopped that ghetto shit and made it nice
it holds the vacuum linse together to make sure they wont meet mr clutch fan
and the aero for the side skirts
but they arent obvious, only 2 per piece ad in the wheel wells, no 'curb feelers'
holds some electrical up in the interior but nothing obvious.

[HyperTek]

zip ties as altenator belt can save your ass in emergencys... but eventually the rotational stress becomes too much.

[NemeGuero]

2.. I repeat 2 zipties hold on my front bumper.. about 10 hold the lip to the bumper..

all kinds of wiring is ziptied to look "neat"

ziptied the spark plug wires away from heat sources

vacuum lines have some..

only stupid shit ive seen is radiators and fan shrouds. if they were to break itd be realllly bad.

[civilized_drifter]

my front bumper, wires that used to be held by the fan shroud, corner lights, battery and some other crap

[thejapino]

just my silvia grill

BTW does anyone know where i can get those nice zipties with the little metal spring? i used to work at a bank and they used those zipties. the plastic would fail before the locking/ratcheting mech. would come loose!

[Ninjabread]

Only thing zip tied in my car is the fan shroud to the rad... it's solid though, i got those big ass ones.

[LB.Motoring]

You know nothing of the pipe zipties... they are like a half inch wide, and work better than those the cops use in riots...

[Ninjabread]

yea i think we all agree, zipties are ftw.

[JDMark]

Zipties are a pretty lazy fix, but im a lazy asshole so oh well.
-my Zenki lip (although i have one bolt right in the middle)
-Sideskirts
-engine wiring
-Vacuum lines
-Intake tube
-Gauges
-lower fan shroud
-mbc

[Ninjabread]

Zipties are a pretty lazy fix

They are if its something that would otherwise have something stronger holding it in place (ie: skirts and bumper = screws) but for electrical wiring and things like that, you cant beat them.

[r_seng]

random wires, fan shroud, and around my radiator.

[Ghost Dancer]

my soul is held on with zipties.

[EndLeSS8]

Used to have them for my old front lip
Now it's for various wiring, and holding up the wires under the front fenders. I have a bag of them in my car, just in case.

[ManoNegra]

[ladiesman8527]

the picture of the battery tied down with zipties scares me...what happened to the factory metal tie down. that would never pass a tech inspection at the events around here.

[mrmephistopheles]

my soul is held on with zipties.
You still have one of those? :keke: :keke:

What the fuck is tech? they dont do that shit here lol. if they do, its to make sure your not leakign all over the track lol
The factory tiedown sucked
and aftermarket ones poke my hood cause im lazy to cut it

[nistech]

i use zipties to hold my pants up
my work pants (dickies) metal button broke so i ziptied it

[Ninjabread]

^^Haha that's awesome... maybe i'll make a belt of zipties... or maybe not.

[~4N~]

Lip, fenders, fender extensions, dash, exhaust, intake piping, power window buttons, random wires, harnesses, interior lights, and also one side of the driver seat, because the previous owner threaded the bolt in wrong with an impact wrench, and we had to rip it out, so now I need to have a bracket welded in there.

[Irukandji]

aero, harness, wiring, fender, and other shit.

[inertiaticism]

Front bumper, but that's pretty standard. And my airhorns, but I'll probably make a bracket for them today.
Other than that, I use them to organize wires and that's it.
I'm all for ghetto ziptie fixes temporarily. I just usually do it right when i get time or money.

Holding down a battery with zipties is just fucking stupid.
I don't have enough money for paint either, but at least my battery is held down well.

[ranger240]

you should try to zip tie everything you can in place of bolts if you actually care about performance.. every ounce off a car counts
my s14 seatbelts are held in with zipties.. those really big ones though so its ok...

[sblack13]

bumper, brake lines, zipties supporting the power steering lines to the crossmember. And other various wiring and the bottom of the fenders.

[theicecreamdan]

those huge zipties are awesome. we ziptied my friend's legs together with those when he was under his car, and then I ziptied people's steering wheels to anything stationary in their car oneday.

[hls 13]

radiator front

[yokotas13]

yeah, because the .5 ounce you save from the seatbelt bolts will be worth the massive internal injuries. :keke:

[RacerTrue]

My girlfriend's bra and panties =)

[LB.Motoring]

My girlfriend's bra and panties =)

my front bumper and lip


why the f*ck would you want her to keep her underwear on?

.... kids these days...



Anyways, Anyone remmber back in the day kids useto turn backpacks insideout, then refill them with the stuff, and ziptie the zippers to the other ones...

:keke: good times...

[nsn240]

hmmm... front bumper, front lip, vac lines, wiring, exhaust is all i can think of. Zip ties are great ha

[~4N~]

How many zipties do you guys use for the exhaust? Right now I only have one instead of each hanger, I can't decide if that's safe enough or not, haha.

[yokotas13]

buy some damn hangers!

[ranger240]

yokotas13, that was way outta line to call me a fag based on a joke you didnt get/like... thats weak.. even more so after having just complemented your car like 2 days ago..

[yokotas13]

lol guess you didnt get the sarcasm returned?q

[thejapino]

a ziptie is holding together my alarm remote b/c that shit is ancient!

[Inlandsilvia]

i have zipties on everything....hahaha

[Pacman]

I'll have my Pignose lip on with zip ties when its painted. My front drivers side brake line to my coilover.

[ranger240]

lol guess you didnt get the sarcasm returned?q

wow damn i loose... thinking that was serious really pissed me off.. cause were talking about fuckin zip ties

[yokotas13]

lol it was more of irony humor i guess

[420sx]

i ziptied a bottle of vodka to my wrist so when im shitfaced and cant find the bottle its right there

[ms!3]

uhh... pignose lip, electric fan onto rad, got em holding a bunch of wiring and vaccum lines too. dont want those to get caught up in the fan since i dont have that huge shroud anymore.

my s14 seatbelts are held in with zipties.. those really big ones though so its ok...

when you wreck dont expect to stay behind the windsheild.

[nsn240]

For exhuast hangers i just zipped them around the rubber ones (2) so they didnt stretch out as far... I dunno if i would use only zipties for hangers... in case the would slide off

[silverarrow27]

I have zip ties holding up my engine and transmission in place. I went through about 8 bags of zip ties to hold them in place as is.

[Bay_Area_sr20det]

a cupple on my front lip, one holding my headlight rod thing togeather, whiring, and tomarrow it will be holding my ontercooler togeather, the welds on the top left corner broke.

[ALTRNTV]

My engine to the chassis. :keke:

[yokotas13]

ok after 3 people putting htat its not funny lol jk

[EchoOfSilence]

I don't have enough money for paint either, but at least my battery is held down well.
Ill write that down for future reference!

[adamer]

i would be nothing without zipties....

[Wykydtron]

When I totalled my front bumper, I stitched together the front bumper. I recently fiberglassed it back together. My side skirt is giving out, so I threw on a couple there. I also have some zipties bundling together wires.

[liv2drift045]

im bored so i'll revive this one

battery (soon to be replaced by real tie down)
front over fenders
side steps
front bumper
oil cooler
ghetto rollbar padding AKA pipe insulation (just for inspection purposes, will be doing it the right way eventually-hopefully before i cut my head open on a ziptie haha)

[Silverbullet]

my lip and certain parts of my wiring harness. For a while i had an aero bumper being held on by zips.


+1 for ziptie and battery = not good combo...

If your into drifting, transitioning from side to side, its safe to say you will exp over 1 lateral G. That is atleast 9.8m/s^2 of accel. A 40lb battery is roughly 20kg. Force=Mass*Accel. The force will be around 200 newtons for our situation. Put that into play: your gonig 40mph, the kinetic engergy of that battery will be 40960 J when you transition.

Now, i dont know the elastic limit of those little plastic zip ties but im sure they will snap with ease. A couple zip ties wont hold it at all if u drive it hard...

[liv2drift045]

Ill write that down for future reference!

I'm glad you two are making sure to write down that I don't hold my car together with zipties.
Otherwise I might forget and mount my rear subframe in with them or something.

I heard that you can lock an open diff using zipties, confirm/deny.

[mRclARK1]

I have some on my front bumper, vacuum lines... and some on my wiring to keep it neater and outta the way.

I don't know if I'd drive my car with only zipties holding my battery though :ugh: ...especially with it in my trunk.

[joecar]

this is a prime example why you use zipties, I would have trashed my rear bumper if it was bolted on.

it's also another example why you shouldn't use a bumper like that to begin with.

[yokotas13]

[Wykydtron]

I had my bumper held together until I picked up some kitty hair

[drifts135]

I know of no better way to mount gauges than by zipties to your cage. As ghetto as this sounds, I like the way the cage/zt/gauge thingies look.


Also the usual aero, wires, vac, brake line to coil over, window switches to door, pad to bars, etc.

Also had the million zipties on the spokes of yer wheel prank performed on me the other day, AND GOT PULLED OVER FOR IT before I knew I was tagged....Cop didnt find it funny at first, but settled down and realized there wasnt anything "illegal" about it. Told me it was a dangerous distraction though, so I clipped em off on the spot and was on my way with no citation action tho.

[NismoGear5]

No one here actually races huh? haha

Only thing I have zip ties on is the hinge on the door of my center console.

[liv2drift045]

No one here actually races huh? haha

what makes you come to this conclusion?

Hahaha, come on Joe, what about at the LRP event when the sideskirt popped off and went under the car, getting annihilated in the process.

[DoriftoPnoy]

wiring and that's it. isnt that what there were originally designed for? (eh... correct me if im wrong) but yea tried using em for aero... didnt work. i'd use it for other stuff but i think those lil twisty things you get at the super market are gangster ahaha.
