What do you want made??

[used240sxparts]

Hey guys I have access to a cnc machine and was seeing if anyone had any ideas of what to make...what are you looking for?? I have already made throttle body adaptors, block off plates, thermal gaskets battery tie downs ect..

If some one comes up with a good idea and I make it, the member will get the item for free.


Also if you need a one off product made custom pm me for pricing.

Thanks!

skid plate for an S14

[s13silvia123]

redo my greddy intake manifold to fit the SR20VE head

[Slammed180]

CA18DET pulley's

Greddy SR20 intake mani to fit a CA18 head

Pretty much anything cool to work with the CA18 :)

[SBCsx]

nevermind............

[jzepol1985]

[R33E8]

skid plate for an S14

You would need something more like a CNC router to do something like that... I think he is talking about a regular mid-sized 3-axis CNC machine..

CA18DET pulley's



You would need a lathe and a drill press to do that.. It doesn't even have to be CNC..

WTF are you guys talking about modifying the intake manifold to fit the head? Like making a new one or just making a new flange? If the runners don't line up a CNC machine can't do much to help you.. And you can't CNC an intake mani in most CNC machines..

Anyways I'm just curious, how much would it cost if I supplied the material and CAD model or even g-code?

[atutt]

Make a 5mm spacer to fit between the caliper halves of the 26mm aluminum 300zx caliper!!!!
With a little o-ring groove!

Should be quite simple to make.

So people who get screwed trying to go from iron to aluminum can use their pads and rotors!!! :P

[cleantune]

maybe a throttle body that has cyclone grooves on the inside (like rifling in a gun barrel)?

[BustedS13]

limp bizkit logo valve stem caps

[ms!3]

skid plate thicker than a stop sign?

[Koob]

how about an insert for an s13 center console to house a drink/change.

Simple stuff

[wangan_cruiser]

maybe a throttle body that has cyclone grooves on the inside (like rifling in a gun barrel)?

good one.


msgs length

[Flicktitty]

idk if you can, but you should make center caps for wheels. it is incredibly hard to find centercaps for certain wheels (epsilon) and some older JDM wheels if you offered a centercap and then the person could get a vinyl sticker made over the end. you would have great sucsess.

i will send you a epsilon centercap as a base to go off of.

[VYKTR]

JGTC style tow hooks. For the:

Strut Tower
Made Beefy and to look cool:-) plus they would be simple to make i guess.

[VYKTR]

now then. stop being an idiot.

Wow, if my idea was idiotic i couldn't begin to wonder what yours was... "limp bizkit logo valve stem caps" Thanks for your useful input to this thread:D

[BustedS13]

those would serve a purpose. they'd show the world how much i love fred durst. the 240sx doesn't show how much i love fred durst from the factory.

[om3ga]

An actual throttle cable bracket for the s13 sr greddy intake manifold for use with the s14 throttle pulley or even just the stock s13 throttle pulley, If you make me one i will buy it RIGHT NOW! EVEN IF ITS LIKE $75!!!!

[1quk240]

limp bizkit logo valve stem caps

+1 to that!!!

i've got a mid-mount with tubbs and i'm gonna have trouble putting the stock intake with maf into place.

[Bushido]

solid steering rack bushings, like yanack!!

PLEASE!!!

[TanaMU]

I'd love to see someone make one of those coolant temperature sensor adaptors for the KA. You know, the kind they have for the SR that bolts between the t-stat housing and the water neck?


Oh, and s13->s14/15 turbo inlet/outlet clocking adaptors. FFS someone must be able to do those for under $150

[used240sxparts]

tons of good ideas on here keep them comming. I was thinking about making the coolent temp sensor adaptor :)

And the clocking adaptors

[used240sxparts]

as well as tow hooks.

[used240sxparts]

can you make me a silencer if yes I will PM you with the specs


pm me the specs

[Ceepo]

I think if you made some sweet drift knobs(ebrake button), maybe a oil cap for the sr/ka, also a sweet coil pack cover, those would be good starts....

[sleeper108]

tow hooks would be badass :D i would buy a set

[g-via]

everyone makes drift knobs...i don't think there can be anymore innovation in that product.

[atutt]

Hahaha.
I love Limp Bizkit
Me too.... but back when Wes was making the riffs, lol... We'll see how long they stick together this time around...
I love Sam's Bass.. It's pimp!

Make a throttle body adapter for the LSx to adapt to the 90mm Q45 throttle body... Q45 throttles are like $100... FAST's 92mm TB id like $400...

If the adapter can me made easily. Sells for like $100-$150.. it's still $150-$200 cheaper than the FAST version...

I've been thinking about this for a little while. Just haven't had a Q45 TB to compare to my LSx TB...

[1quk240]

what about a plate that covers the wires coming through the wheel well to the fuse box on the drivers side? so that the tire wont eat through the tape.

[Ceepo]

^sell those already, or its easy to run to re route it...

[cleantune]

This would do absolutely dick.

just something like this to smooth out airflow. to tell you the truth I'm kind of curious to see how good this kind thing would work on an import motor.

^^^^^^^^
These are some good ideas.
Might be worth looking into.
98% of the ideas dont even need a CNC for construction, and would just be taking a chance for damaging a very expensive machine.

Goodluck with your new venture.
I'd be in for a KAe water temp sensor if made.

[90hatchie]

tow hooks would be badass :D i would buy a set

ur car comes factory with 4 tow hooks
why do u need more?

[Renelovesnike]

make brembo caliper brackets to fit sti/evo calipers onto s-chassis

LOL hood spacers like powered by MAX

shift knobs......... idk!!!!!

[SR_Vlurs]

I second the making of a sweet coil pack cover but I need it for the s14 sr

Yeah, you can make a custom drift knob. With like some crazy design on it, maybe your initials or a cutout of the limp bizkit logo

[1quk240]

^sell those already, or its easy to run to re route it...

so where can i find it?

[Mitsubayati]

Make a bracket so we can keep the stock parking brake like in the pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/str8e180/rearbrakes.jpg

Nice Idea. So you can use z32 brakes and 240sx parking brake function? I love it! I would buy this!

[MURPHY]

affordable turbo flanges for vband or w/e

[Chernobyl]

just something like this to smooth out airflow. to tell you the truth I'm kind of curious to see how good this kind thing would work on an import motor.


Again, this would do next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. Maybe a +/- 1hp difference on a NA engine. It will have absolutely zero effect on anything with forced induction.

[ka-titties]

an affordable KADE intake mani flange.

[SochBAT]

I was going to make those Jet plenum spacers, but the materials were a tad costly, and being as I'm only one man, churning out a number of them would have needed a large amount of capital that I don't have.

Here are a few sure-fire things that would sell like man.

Greddy/Freddy SR intake manifold spacers made from Phenolic material. Heat resistant like mad, durable as hell.

Throttle body spacer from the same material.

[sr20sean]

oil filter sandwich plates for the ka!

Are you measuring from actual componets - rotors, sti/evo calipers - or going
by the numbers available online?
FYI, the online specs are a good guesstimate at best.

make a mount for a 2nd rear brake, to have a hydraulic e brake with its own caliper.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

make a mount for a 2nd rear brake, to have a hydraulic e brake with its own caliper.

Why? The z32 stock caliper rear brake set is whats needed I would run that.

[jholman05]

A mini spool for an r200 diff. Sell it for $50-75. Or a full spoll and sell it for $100.

[96Turbo]

how bout a nice simple coil pack cover out of aluminum for the rb25. i'd buy one if it's less than $50. maybe machine some holes/vents/slots or somethin

EDIT: Good idea burns...radiator stays always seem to disappear on the s....i'd like some fancy ones

[burnsauto]

ideas off the top of my head

some nice radiator stays to replace the not so pretty oem ones
S13 fuse box bracket
DIN plate to hold a greddy turbo timer nice and snug
fuel filter brackets for the z32 filter

[titopr06]

how about an s13 hatch back rear seat cover like these but in some other material.
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg298/titopr06/Image1.jpg

[96Turbo]

^^reminds me of a cop car...

not really a cnc part tho

[NMs14.5kouki]

Why? The z32 stock caliper rear brake set is whats needed I would run that.

i want to have a z32 rear brake hooked up for the foot brake and a seprate one just connected to a hydro e-brake. i have done a ton of research into hydro e-brakes, and have seen numerous times while hitting the foot brake, and using the e-brake, the rear wheels will lock up rather than greatly slow the car down. and it would look kinda cool having 2 brakes back there. lol

rofl, do you have any idea how much that would cost to cnc? Think of the size of aluminum you would need. And then think about how much a block that size would cost, and how long it would take, and how much it would weigh. I doubt their machine could even do something that big if they wanted it to.

[joeapple8]

knock off arcs air induction box.. or better.. make a better design =P

[R33E8]

omg is this forum full of religon majors?? THINK OF HOW IT IS MADE! if it's sheet metal, huge, fiberglass, super thin stuff, plastic, a hood, etc.. it does not get made in a regular CNC machine.. Think about the process, it's basically a drill press with a table that moves.. All it can do are external features and other things that require removing material out of a solid material... If its round or can be made on from a piece of round stock, chances are it would be a lot faster, cheaper, and easier to make it on a lathe.. If it's something made out of sheet metal, you need a press(for like a hood) or something like a cnc router/waterjet/plasma cutter... The only way a CNC machine can assist in making something for carbon/fiberglass is to make the mold for it..

[Xbroke_kidX]

well if you read the first page he clearly says he came up on a CNC MACHINE. And follows that by asking what he should make with his new CNC MACHINE. Not lets make anything that tickles you fuckin fancy. read please.

[95KA-Turbo]

Ok, you need to make spindles that adjust roll center and give more angle, like the GP sports ones but make them out of aluminum instead. The rear ones could change the the mounting location of the toe arm to correct the geometry for slammed cars.

[Matej]

A battery relocation tray that bolts somewhere in the trunk of an S13 without needing to drill new holes.
For a hatchback if there is a difference. :)

Now there's an idea
something like what Griggs makes for Rustangs

http://www.griggsracing.com/images/AlumSpindle1.jpg

http://www.griggsracing.com/images/S197SPINDLE.jpg

it's only a matter of when
only thing is no one would buy them since they'll end up costing more than most peoples rides
hmmm... how many people here have GP Sports knuckles or Ikeya arms?
That's right, nice shit costs money

[Jakob]

^oh yes please!!

[burnsauto]

Its a cool idea in theory. But something like that would require a decent amount of R&D, which would bring up the price even more. Its just not realistic for a privateer.

Another reason why many people don't screw around with roll center (beyond the cost of nice parts like you mentioned is because not many people get that involved in their suspension setups. Many guys just get coilovers and arms, and know very little about how to set the car up properly.

Granted an adjustable roll center would be pretty bitchin, there are def cheaper ways of modifying the stock roll center.

Personally, If it were for my street car (keep in mind, this is just my personal view, no one should take ANY of this as the spoken word or fact) I wouldn't get aluminum knuckles. Yeah, the benefits alone with just removing that much unsprung weight would be awesome, but just having a softer metal in place of a part thats originally cast iron just doesn't sit right with me. Hence why GP sports decided to make them out of cast iron. :)

I see where you're coming from
this is how I see it:
I want this community to mature
to stop putting precedence to bling, stickers, sparkle paint jobs, compromising suspension geometry, etc, etc. just to impress teenagers
ideally, I would like this community to become like various of the old datsun forums
to try to new things/ideas with a foundation on proven principles
to demand quality over me-too-quick-buck-china products
to become better informed about the cars they profess to love

There are various tempers of aluminum that are just as strong or stronger than iron
I bet GP Sports makes their knuckles that way not for a safety or performance reasons
but because it is cheaper to create a mold and pay a company in Taiwan to mass produce castings
but that's just my :2c:

[jspecusa]

Juan,
Just check out Moonface racing for all the cheap RCA parts.
They are all CNC so can be copied or improved for cheap.
There won't be enough demand tho, this community is base on "look" not
really into real racing where they would need RCA.
There's also shorter all aluminum subframe spacers you can make to lower the car in the back as well.
Cheers,

[nissanguru]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, brackets for FC brake calipers into s13/s14. Those brakes are identical to z32, but MUCH cheaper and MUCH easier to find at a local junk yard. I see them all the time and think to myself, what a waste.

just got back to fl from sema some of these things being mentioned are great keep them comming I should have a few products that will be released shortly :)

I wish that would happen as well, but chances are it's not going to happen. Kids now nowadays are less technical and expect more things handed to them. Everything needs to be "bolt-on"

Besides there are impressive build threads on zilvia that show the level of workmanship to the datsun forum. It's just this forum has a lot more :smash: :duh:

Subframe risers like PBM makes. But only if they are under $100 which seems kinda unlikely given their size.

Listen to sam! He is this industry.

And Good Luck to Agency... Sincerely. We need as many people as possible trying advance this community with innovation.

While I understand that some say "well the market never has enough $$", you have to look at that as opportunity. Innovation is born out of strife, including financial. To say "Just throw money at it" is not driving innovation, unlimited budgets (read F1) is not always the solution to the garage racer / home gamer. So I figure the more eyes, minds, and hands toiling at meeting the needs of this restricted market, the more innovation that will be born in its purest form at lowest cost.

But yeah, it would be cool if you all had a few more bucks to kick around..

[burnsauto]

Give it a few more years. Many S chassis owners are just starting their careers, getting married, etc. The economy will make a full recovery in the next few years (well, at least the worlds financial advisors think so) and our generation will starting having some extra funds to play with.

I see the S chassis going back to its roots in the next few years. (think late 90s) Only the core people will be left 5 years from now. By then I'll of had my s chassis 10 years, and my budget will be much larger then.

If you look at the parts I suggested, they're all small pieces, but all of them can be somewhat affordable, and not too difficult to make. Easier and quicker it is to make, the cheaper you can price it at.

EDIT:
Not sure if anyone had added this yet.

A Part that needs to be made stateside. - Adaptor plate for an rb25 transmission to fit on an SR. I can't justify paying 1600+ bucks to have one shipped from AUS.

You should also make these so they offset the steering rack forward, which eliminates some of the overcentering that comes when using modified knuckles.

I took some 18ga if I remember right (it’s been a couple of years) and spaced the top of my strut towers up 3" works like a champ. Now what would be gangster is to raise the sub frame as well. Like what the mini truck guys do (body drop)

I want those strut tower extenders. Seriously.

Are those some than Nigel from Australia made? I'm pretty sure they were CNC'd too.

All you need is some sheet metal and a welder. Cut the top off your strut tower, cut the sheet metal into a 3" wide strip, and contour it to the circumference of the strut tower mount. Just tack it as you go, once it is all the way around cut off the excess, weld the seam, and weld in place.

is that to raise the mount point of your strut/shock/coilover?

I have thought of this many times but didnt know it existed.

the idea is to lower the car without compressing the strut assembly so much that you lose strut travel and have alot of preload. it would help for coilovers than cant go very low without compressing the spring which leads to shit ride quality.

imo those with a set of those pbm frame risers would be neat.

bolt on wheel spacers. its simple

There are tons of those around, made in china for WAY cheaper than anyone stateside could make them.

Ask for innovative stuff, not just a cheaper version of "X" mas produced part.

Except that the sub frame risers move the subframe up by 1/2 inch at most, and those strut tubes are a good 2-3" tall. You need a custom LCA and spindle to correct geometry at that point.

My underbody butterfly brace offer still stands :D

you do realize that's a tall order for a CNC machine, right?
it's doable but it would require a large table machine
and the material of the required size would be $$$$$$
something like this would require welding to be affordable imo

[GripTerror]

Well it was asked, something no one has done before (well was done for them flyin miatas lol...) so here you go :D

[used240sxparts]

it could be done but not affordable enough to make it. sorry

[Bushido]

whats the dealio with the steering rack bushings?

[Ceepo]

^ yes lets see pictures and what not, how are they commin along!!!

[Matej]

Sent you a PM!

Help this guy put these kits out and help us KA guys out.

I need like a multiple gauge holder (probably around 3 gauges would fit) that goes in neatly where the radio were to go in an S13.

Solid sway bar bushings. Not common at all, but for hardcore suspension guys, these would be awesome. No more crappy urethane in there.

[Brian]

I don't think I've even seen them before.
good idea!!!

[CrazyTrance]

Those would be an interesting thing. Only problem is that it has to rotate inside of that mount. So i'm not so sure a solid bushing would work well there.

this and the solid steering rack bushings should be awesome!!

you would have lots of buyers for these 2 items if they are priced reasonably

Have you seen the "Gobstopper" Impreza time attack car? It uses them. I can't find the shot of the suspension I'm looking for for some reason.

[SHARKERIOcoupe]

cool.
has anything been made yet?

[kouki fanatic]

a whole new production of the s14 kouki. brand new. i'd till pay 20,000 for that stuff

[clain]

I need a custom flywheel made :p

Yes i know of that car, are they aluminum? Or bronze?

[S14Serge]

Yeah a supercharger kit for the Ka24de. It's becoming more and more sought after, and is always good to have options over force induction and N/A:yum:

[mrmooseman]

This would do absolutely dick.


if you actually took the time to figure out what air, fuel, and electrical components did in your car...you would know what riffling an intake would actually do...now with that said a riffle in the wrong direction would hurt drastically, but if you figured out what why the natural spin of the air in your intake was and enhanced it, it would up mid range hp and fuel economy. it would be a good idea but they make quick sheet metal inserts now-a-day.

there is a guy on here that just designed a supercharger package for his ka...figure out how to make all the pieces required to do that and make it cheap you would have a good package deal going for ya. when ya do pm me.

[jspeedm]

I want a bracket to mount a centrifugal supercharger on the drivers side of an s14 KA
