Meh. Run whatever engine you want, I don't care. I'll think what I want about your build if you run an RB/JZ/cast-iron V8 but ultimately, build a nice car for yourself.

I care about my car and only my car. For that reason, I worry obsessively about weight distribution, center of gravity and all sorts of other things that allow me to justify why my S13 hasn't been on a racetrack in six years, five months and 20 days and still has a KA with bolt-ons under the hood.

You know what makes me grumpy? Owning a house. Jesus Christ, I thought my first-gen Touareg V8 was bad.

This is the crap that pisses me off. It's like, really?? Have you ever drove a RB 240sx or an aluminum block LS1 car?

People get these ideas about CG, weight balance and shit all built up in their heads and they put that pussy on a pedistool.

Unless you are racing for money in a conpetive environment, which typically comes with ridiculous restrictions, you are wasting your time.

My buddy and I had a 240sx each for a while. Mine a S13 with all the mods. Aftermarket arms with hiem joints, all rubber replaced with poly, solid subframe, corner balanced on Fortune 500s, angle mods, SR20, big turbo, B&M shifter, Z32 brakes etc.

His, a stock S13 with KSports and stock RB25 tuned to like 330whp with Kazaa 2 way.

His car was infinitly better on the street and track. More Torque, smoother, softer riding, no buzzing, rattling, creaking.

My car isn't exactly stock and has always been in search of a goal. That goal isn't the lowest lap time by brute force or the lowest lap time by sheer grip- it's to build something really light that is fun to drive. When I had my cage built, we moved the driver's seating position back a few inches and as close to the car centerline as possible. That cost me some money, but it helped to move the weight bias rearward and lower the polar moment. I have no restrictions- I could enter unlimited time attack, and likely will, but ultimately I'm building the best track S-chassis I can by metrics I'm deciding.

I put certain things on a pedestal because they're what I've found I like more than almost everything else. I like saving and shaving ounces.

[bardabe]

looks like it fits pretty good to me? i already know you stated you dont want to hack up your car, but i think this could be solved by a tube front (just based off this picture).

seems sort of odd for someone who has a shop, who should have access to simple tools like a welder and bender, doesnt want a tube front on a swap that mixes mfgs. shit like this happens when you put a toyota in a nissan and so forth.

adapt. improvise. overcome. #meme

edit:
heres another with a visible rad:
http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/572/1649/26428324006_original.jpg?v=0

Tube front is in my opinion hacking up the car solely because that chassis I was not intending to cage and turn into a full on race car. I actually kept all the VG stuff because I knew one day I'd put it all back to stock and enjoy it that way again. which is why it was a big deal to me to not cut anything i couldn't bolt on a new piece on.

with that said, I know you can physically fit a rad in it but the problem is enough airflow through it to keep it cool enough to work properly. you guys have no idea how many people I've tuned that go "I don't have cooling issues" after me telling them that they need x fan y radiator with z shrouding. we get on the dyno and behold 100+ *C temps when I'm trying to tune it. "it never got hot before" .... yeah because putting around town and a freeway pull isn't stress. seriously if a car can keep cool for 1 or 3 passes drifting is not the same as keeping the car cool in a 30 minute WOT session road racing.

[e30gangsta]

I had a similar issue tracking a 2jz fc. So much work went into the cooling system/ducting just to make it work. Around town not a problem, the second you start hot lapping boom.

[RalliartRsX]

Juan, grumpy old man thread.....not logic/science thread. You should know better :D

[jedi03]

tube it then when you go back to stock you still have a lighter/stronger frame!

[jumpman2334]

what if i told you that you could tube front end a car, and not have to do a full cage#meme

in all seriousness, i see what you are saying. although on the previous page you low key flex that you are starting to get paid for building peoples cars in your new shop. you should be able to figure this out if you're youre getting paid and flexing to strangers on the net.

also, why would you keep the VG stuff and ultimately plan to put it back in if youre going to spend all of this time investing into getting the jz powerplant to stay cool for 30 minute hot laps? you dont make a lot of sense.

[spooled240]

A well-designed vented hood, proper ducting and dual large oil coolers should do the trick. Getting the air out is just as important as getting the air in.


If a stock 99+ rx7 with 276hp can put down a few laps with the stock tiny intercooler, electric fans and a non-vented hood, anything can do it lol That engine produces so much heat it's insane it didn't come stock with a v-mount and a vented hood.

[feito]

So, tubed front=full on nascar?:ugh:
And honestly, i dont really care what engine anyone swaps into their cars, or anything they do to it for that matter, as long as it's street worthy and wont affect the person driving next to it.
I guess it's just the way the import scene has evolved, it just seems weird to me. We used to be into imports 'cause of their affordability and the attraction to small engines, high revving or turbocharged, sort of like being the underdog. How about the beautiful sound of a turbo straight six?
But now, people buy s-chassis with the sole intention of swapping an LS. I mean, with the money many of these people spend on their ls project, they could have bought a corvette, a much better car overall and eady to go. Guess they like the looks of something and the power of something else, idk. For me that would never work. I hardly even like to mixing makes...
Not that it matters, though, it's not like MOST of them will ever see the streets :rofl:

[KA24DESOneThree]

The problem is that there are hidden costs when buying a Corvette.

You have to invest in hair gel, gold chains, and a spray tan.

[spooled240]

^LOL my younger brother has a C5Z and he's probably the youngest corvette owner in a 300 mile radius.


I was partially joking about the LS swaps..it's a great motor and replacement for pretty much any car out there. It's actually annoying how much sense it makes to swap one in, especially because it can be smog-legal in CA.


But I do tend to think that a 240 with a built SR/KA/RB/JZ, etc. or an RX-7 with a built rotary is just hands down much cooler than the same car with an LS swap. It takes more research, knowledge, skill and is generally just much more of a challenge to keep a 2.0L 4 banger or a rotary together at 500whp than it is or an LS and you have to respect that.

I've been getting paid to do it for customers coming on a decade now, just hadn't actually gone full time with a shop until recently. I see what you're saying and how that come off misleading haha.

well, the plan was to use my TT chassis to develop the swap but if i ever perused full competition it would of been on a slicktop shell. Lighter & stronger than the T-Top twin turbo chassis. specially since the TT already had the brakes, coilovers, etc. All in all it seemed like a great idea just because i never intended to keep that car for competition and once things got serious I knew i would buy a different / better suited shell to keep developing the swap and still have my clean body and interior TT to enjoy around town. makes sense yeah?

Fixed that for you.

A bit ironic considering a 240 needs to be practically rebodied, have a hub conversion and thousands in wheels to look good.

Then you need an entire powertrain swap, then the entire fuel system and power adder upgraded... Then the entire suspension, arms, coils and all be replaced to be fast..

Yet they'll bitch that a stock mustang or Corvete isn't fast enough, boring looking or has to much wheel gap.

I'd argue stock for stock a Mustang is better looking then a 240 and that's why you'll see most Stang owners do minimal cosmetic modifications while a 240 owner is going to replace every body panel.

Oh and stock body for life, body kits and frp fenders are ugly 9 times out of 10. Stock for stock s13's have better, more pleasant body lines. Less is more.

Also if I wanted a fast car in a straight line I'd get a Vette or something along those lines. I got an schassis because I like the way it feels in the corners.

Every time I argue with you it's seems like you have no reason to ever want to own an schassis, so I got no clue why you're on this forum

[Corbic]

Why are you here lol just go back to your mustang forums..

Better question, why are you in this thread. You only joined the forum 18 months ago and are likely rocking your first car your parents bought you, a clapped out stock S13 with bubble shifter and eBay exhaust. Change my mind.

Also good job comparing a bone stock faded out zenki to a dropped and lip kitted mustang I can do that too:

Thanks for proving my point. That car is more then just wheels, but also bumpers, lip, wing, Z32 brakes, probably 5-lug conversion and side skirts. All that to look on part with the GT I posted.

Is it still a 155hp torque monster or does it have $6k in engine upgrades too?


Oh and stock body for life, body kits and frp fenders are ugly 9 times out of 10. Stock for stock s13's have better, more pleasant body lines. Less is more.

At least we can agree on that.

I have no idea who you are. You have 30 posts and joined at the end of '17. I joined in 2005 after a stint on 240sxforums and NICO when I bought my S13.

I owned the S13 for 12 years, swapped engines twice, painted it 3 times. If someone would give me a factory stock TYPE-X in outstanding condition for $6k, I'd rock it, but that's not reality.

It's one of only two cars I regret selling.


As for other forums, of course I'm on them. But for some reason imports seem to be a nexus of Communism, Soy Milk and Haterid for non-import cars. It's some weird one - way rivalry.

Better question, why are you in this thread. You only joined the forum 18 months ago and are likely rocking your first car your parents bought you, a clapped out stock S13 with bubble shifter and eBay exhaust. Change my mind.


What so I can't participate in a thread for the sake of discussion now? Btw my account is only 1.5 years old because that's when I started looking for S13's. I might not be old but I sure am a grumpy asshole :newbie:

.
All that to look on part with the GT I posted.


I think we have different definitions of "on par" It looks like something I'd see rolling around in Santa Ana with a stick welded straight pipe and a v6. Also blacked out headlights give me a fucking break lol.

.

I owned the S13 for 12 years, swapped engines twice, painted it 3 times.

If someone would give me a factory stock TYPE-X in outstanding condition for $6k, I'd rock it, but that's not reality.

As much as I enjoy arguing with you, I will say its a pretty nice s13, can't hate OEM aero. It is unfortunate that IG flexbois and clout chasers started driving up the prices of clean cars while trashing anything thats not perfect. Yeah my s13 was a POS when I picked it up, I'm doing my best to reverse that. Its about ready to be painted.

Imma loop this thread back to its origins and be grumpy about some shit.

Why the fuck do Instagram part handlers think its ok to take a 30 year old used NISMO/Tomei/HKS wheel/shift knob/dildo/cupholder/whatever and try to sell that shit to some idiot for stupid $$$$$. I like the old logo as much as the next guy, but do people really pay 600+ for a fucking wheel? I've seen windbreakers go for like 550 because they have a small tomei logo on the lapel etc.

INB4 people assume that because I'm not an OG I run junk like NRG and Grip Royal like the rest of the new crowd.

Y'know I've seen that done before, but to a shitty dash. Its a "cool" idea and I wouldn't really be mad if someone did it to a dash that was beyond saving (ie large chunk missing, cracks are repairable.)

But with how tech is going now, I don't see a point in using monitors etc for sims. I've tried VR sims and its insane.

Included among this are the sort of morons that flex cash and garbage merchandise like overpriced JDM junk, bride backpacks, and supreme "gear" from their trailer home on social media. See below:

So my only copy of the s14 key broke in the drivers door lock when i was trying to start it up after the winter..

This car hates me as I am starting to hate it.. time to set it on fire. Does anyone know if I can get another Key from the Dealer or something?

my only option right now is to pull the door card off and try to bring the lock to a lock smith and hope they can make me a new key... -_-

Same thing happened to me, I just pulled the other half of the key out, lined the two parts up, glued them and went to one of the home Depot key makers (it has to be one that takes a picture if the key, the one where you put the key into a slot obviously won't work). Make sure the key isn't twisted, I had to hammer mine flat because when it broke the key twisted 90° and then snapped.

It took some luck but it's probably the cheapest/easiest way of doing it. Learned my lesson and made multiple duplicates for my cars.

Good lock smith should be able to do that for you, do you have both pieces of the key? I had a super shitty oem key and took it to my guy made me four in a matter of minutes. Real skilled work, did it by hand. Smooth as butter.

Also, once you get that, check out nissan parts on IG, they stock oem key blanks.

[[240sx]]

What code do you speak of? do you mean the vin?
Oe keys are cut per VIN, and are issused a code. Mine split down the middle, and was my only key which worked for both ignition and doors. Lock smith was able to make the ign key via the code, but the door locks weren't the same, so that had to be be cusomized off the broken original. The key was so worn, it was able to operate both.. well... not with ease... guess that's why it broke.[emoji848]

Lets be honest. I get why our shitboxes have over fenders.

People stateside don't smash up FD's like we do S13's / S14's.

Haha, 12" is the minimum I hear.

I have a rust bubble on one of the rear fenders that surfaced literally like a month after I got the entire car repainted. I was so mad. It was rusting from inside the wheel well and I never knew it until it started puffing up. One of these stupid kits would solve it because it is in the area that would get cut out and I still don't want to do it. I'm weighing an OEM style repair or a metal widebody option at the moment.

What do you guys think of these front fenders? I usually hate fender flares but this looks damn good imo.

jk looks good, but you really need to pull off the whole track look or else it will look weird.

[spooled240]

Yeah you're probably right. He even widened the front bumper so it will match the width of the fenders. I think if he had a set of skirts to match it wouldn't look so out of place like it does now.


It's just a refreshing change to see a set of flares not cover 40% of the side of the car. These things are massive and don't flow with the lines of he car at all.

grumpy rant
I have 18x10 meisters up front (step lip) and could not get my 225/40/18 atr sport 2 mounted on them. Tried cheetah, double cheetah, starter fluid, starter fluid/cheetah, heated up the tires, left em in the sun, pretty much every trick. Tried on 2 different tire machines that are pretty damn nice. First place I went to stretched the same exact tire model, same size, on a 18x10.5 a few days prior. FUCKED. 2nd homie couldn't help me, but he ended up buying the tires, so I'm about to go pick up some ss595's because I can get them local and hopefully drive my car this weekend dml


so I can steal your super rare bumper in 5 seconds? lol

QuikSplat when you get shot :fawkd:

The other night I was towing back the s14 from paint and stopped to get gas. Had 2 friends with me, one country dude with a 9 second Camaro and other dude is 6'8" and does farming/landscaping shit for a living. I was walking back to the truck and this sassy bitch almost hit me in her Elantra and got mouthy, so I muttered a dismissive "fuck you" under my breath, not really trying to actively start anything. Anyhoo, she heard me and started going off and said some shit like "what if I had a gun?" uhh, lady, we HAVE guns. This is the south. Then she tried to snapchat us or some shit when she left the parking lot, she had a hard enough time driving with 2 hands on the wheel smh

Lets be honest. I get why our shitboxes have over fenders.

People stateside don't smash up FD's like we do S13's / S14's.

Its funny how almost everyone who ruins perfectly good panels for overs regrets it in the end.

But you know, the internet requires you to have 12" wide wheels for 250hp.

If you aren't doing it for the gram, what the fuck are you really doing it for?

Tbh stock body is best unless you have a super sick body guy to make your overs/widebody/flares/etc. fit worth a damn. I have 5" lips and had 5.5" on my Riversides I just sold and tbh they're like. deep. All these kids who try to throw 8" lips on their cars for clout are morons lol.

What do you guys think of these front fenders? I usually hate fender flares but this looks damn good imo.

It's sick, but like what the other guy said...you need to have all the accessories/supporting mods etc to pull the look off. Would look like ass on a show or street car.

Yeah you're probably right. He even widened the front bumper so it will match the width of the fenders. I think if he had a set of skirts to match it wouldn't look so out of place like it does now.

spooled. the black IS is a race car in south korea. he needs the fenders to fit his rubberz. im at 9.5 +22 with a slight pull and camber and im about maxed out both ways (fender and spindle). there isnt a whole lot of room up front. probably my favorite IS, its got an ITB beams setup and is fast.

those monterkonnection, or whatever 9745 russian variants that are out there look like absolute ass. i havent seen a single one ive liked and i dont think i ever will. most of the idiots who put them on the JCE/GXE/SXE chassis do it so they can easily fit wide wheels. does not flow with the car one bit. the thing that bothers me the most is there are much better body options and i believe they are all pretty much JDM factory stuff: modellista, trd, qualitat, etc. they are all readily available on ebay and through importers; but these cats gotta get those 10-11js on the front and make it drive like ass, for the gram.

You can stuff massive amounts of wheel and tire under the stock s14 fenders. IS300, not so much. Toyota decided to put baby dick fenders with the double wishbone suspension which ultimately led to baby dick wheel widths and specs.

If that Korean IS's front fenders were half the width it would be perfect for a street car. The Modellista flares I believe are the same one NOB used on his HKS D1 Altezza. Very cool fenders but probably almost impossible to find. I'll probably just settle for some Vertex fronts and pull the rear out a little.

It took everything in me to not run a 215/35, so fuck you I'm trying to grow up. Baby steps. I test fit 18x10 -20 (my wheels are -16) with a 245/35 and it seemed like it would be rubtown USA, we ain't with the shit. Think I might go back to 17s all around, idk. I'm decisive. This is why I don't have a big, baller wheel collection.

I actually wanna do a meaty fitment setup of RS05RR or something if I take the car to h2o this year, 1 less thing to get pulled over for.

It's funny when my 23 year old friend sends me cars from 2011 like "man I wish I were a few years older" then I send them 2006-2008 threads on here chock full of gangster cars and they blow their load. It really sucks because everything is becoming Yeezy or Supreme-ified. Everything is hype, prices get raised, social media dictates desirability. I was trying to push these wheels onto a client cause I KNEW they'd be perfect for his car, and he was vehemently against them. 6 hours later he blows my phone up saying how dope they are. I guess he saw Elvis' car on a set or something lol

That s13 sucks but honestly I'm not against bagging shit. I haven't and don't plan to bag a 240sx but honestly I would. If it isn't a dedicated track car, who fucking cares? Besides the fact that if you're fender to lip it's gonna look like butthole at ride height lol. I used to hate air ride but I got into that bullshit 5 years ago and well, static and air have their advantages. I've had a cup kit and it didn't really fulfill what I needed at the time, I'd maybe get another one for my s14 but the pricing is just stupid

[mad-ass]

Why an god's name would someone spend so much money on exterior on what seems to be obvious show only S-chassis when brake upgrades are so cheap to do?

I drove my S14 yesterday though, so that was nice.(mainly drove it to get the rust off the brake rotors honestly)

[dizzariot]

6 hours later he blows my phone up saying how dope they are. I guess he saw Elvis' car on a set or something lol



He's the biggest fucking fake in my opinion. I also never knew why people decide to deify cars that are purchased by someone that's clearly got a lot of money. To me, they're just 'Edward-Norton-in-The-Italian-Job-ing' the whole car thing: all this money and simply throwing a name-brand catalog (via the internet's ideas) at the car. With Elvis it's Work Wheels and 326Power. He also preached to the internet about how clean his fastback was but of course he's talking about hacking it up. Stance fuccbois gon' stance fuccboi.

I'm also seeing a ton of older heads catering to the mouth-breathers posting in the wrong sections. I guess this really is the end of Zilvia. People don't get that if you keep offering handouts we'll just become inundated with morons (like we aren't a bunch of morons already lol.)

Tuners Today
"Holy Shit!! Just a complete rebuild, fuel system replacement and new turbo setup and you can make a shit ton of powwa!! Sign me up!!"


This seems pretty backwards lol

TBH the reason why tuner culture even started here in the states was because a few batshit crazy people decided to work on these cars. Same thing with the current gen of tuners/car tuning, some people just decide "fuck it imma wrench on this, I know these cars tune well." Not to mention the bar to access higher performance parts has gotten lower and lower. Now you can get a ching chang spinny thang and an fleabay exhaust manifold for a fraction of the price that custom fabrication and a name brand turbo would have cost 15-20 years ago.

Meanwhile most modern tuners will just throw a shitty Cobb tune onto their mommy/daddy bought WRX/FRS/etc and blow the ringlands within 12 months. They won't bother with actually changing anything about their fuel/turbo setups while spewing shit like "yeah bro my engine can take 450+ hp on stock internals no problem, just gotta turn up the boost lmao"

I know you're probably 30 something but fuck, you sound like a boomer

I think you confused "tuner" with "teenager".

Then you're not a "Tuner" but a kid with a handheld tuner pretending to be a tuner.





I know you're probably 30 something but fuck, you sound like a boomer

I just remember for years people moaning about what A PITA FDs, Z32s and Z16s are to work on. People howled and moaned about thr Z33 being a V6 instead of a I4 or I6. Even the domestic guys cried and bitched about the SOHC and DOHC V8s from Ford - 4.6/5.4.

This is part of the reason Honda 4's, SR20s, 4G63s and 2JZs became so popular. A VG30 and 6G72 are both strong 4-digit capable engines, but nobody wanted to work on them and their popularity never soared like the Inline engines.

Now 30 years later, these once "complicated" and "cramped" engine setups seam simple and straightforward.

not all of them. i would technically be in that boat. i have no problem sharing setups and helping out people whove done the research, but still need some very specific questions answered. shit i even made a guide for IS peeps to help them choose a FUCA because none of the info was available to me when i had to go through it (short spindles and FUCAs are a not very discussed topic when talking about the 1IS world). but i do agree that youre a god damn idiot with a napoleon complexity if you feel the need to keep your setup away from people who ask. its not like youre the first to do it.

No clue what fatlace is, but Stancenation is a show/blog/social media presence that's been around for a while now. They have a pretty far reach and are pretty influential.

[jumpman2334]

fatlace is like the hype beast of the car world. overpriced crap. i remember i made by GF at the time walk 20+ blocks across SF to see the fatlace store many moons ago before i knew better. i really wanted one of those 'illest' stickers (before i became grumpy and old).

the store was so small and the way they laid out their product was more for show, so they didnt have much and christ was everything expensive. i think i paid like 8-10 bucks for that illest sticker. i still have it in my stash. i cannot bring my self to affix it to anything that i associate with.

Question for you grumpy old men..

what are these rear fender flares called? Ive seen alot of 350z/Gtr's using these recently and thinking about getting a set :


I am a fan I think it would look good on a stock body s-chassis.

hmm r33 should be the closest to s14..

[PoorMans180SX]

I don't get the vented rear overs. It looks really weird and I have never liked a car with them fitted.

Yeah it reminds me of Hot Import Nights cars trying to make cars look like MR2's and NSX's by adding nonfunctional scoops and such.

https://i2.wp.com/farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6468181573_63ccaec3ce_o.jpg?resize=950%2C633

Honestly what bugs me less than people doing stupid things to cars for internet fame is that when anyone comments on an hype article with a legitimate argument against the content in it, it gets jumped on in the same way it does if someone just calls the car stupid or insults the owner. Have you seen the lambo "rally car"? It's not a freakin' rally car, or anything new or "insane". I'm not going to even link it because I refuse to spread it more.

The older I get, the less and less I appreciate non-functional modifications. I've seen so many cars with awesome style that are fully functional vehicles. That's just an opinion of mine of course, but I feel like it's relevant to this thread, hahah.

You'll eventually just want a stock Corvette with Magna flow exhaust and Z06 wheels on Nittos.

You'll throw on a baseball cap to keep the sun off your balding head. A loose fit polo because it's soft and doesn't wrinkle and finally a pair of comfortable New Ballance sneakers because your knees and feet hurt all the time.

[lunchmeat]

That hits too close.

Too old to not be grumpy but too young to not be aggressive lol.

On a more on topic note. I’ve always hated front over fenders for the vents and have never seen any super wide overs that follow oem lines with no vents. Btw this isn’t a change of heart since I’ve gotten older, it’s something I’ve always disliked.

[hobbs]

Oh that guy that always has a ton of shit to sell? He's on his 6th attempt to "get out of the game" lmao

6th time? That’s generous...

It’s nothing more than 9k racing parting out cars and drop shipping parts from a turn14 account.

[R3b]

the founder of stancenation. it seems as if you either like the guy or you dont.

i find it funny that someone that founded stance nation wont share his wheel specs on his vehicle(s). almost as if no one else has ever done it and he's holding the key all to himself.

I've talked to him a few times off insta, even asked for specs and he was fine giving it to me about his type x. Been picking his brain about the car and send him recommendations for "resto" stuff. He seems like a rad dude and often does QAs

Nothing honestly but it was owned by a local by me before he sold it so I guess its interesting to see how its changed. Plus I normally follow other "cookie cutter" type x builds since thats what im into I guess. I always see type x guys supporting his car and besides harping on the fitment, the car is clean. Its getting metal widebody done which will either be heinous or well done like this guy. I honestly dont see the hate for him.

i dont know if he only gives specs to certain people, but people were asking about his dorisha/silvia specs and he wouldnt give them. maybe hes changed his tone, or is sick of people asking him (im sure hes been asked a million times). either way when ive come across his account in the past, he wasnt even trying to point people in the right direction.

absolutely nothing, he just runs an online blog and 'started a movement'. his cars are just seen by more people then your average build page/thread.

Well, he's not obligated to give anyone anything. I can understand if you just bolted some wheels onto a relatively-stock 240, but sometimes after doing a ton of research, trial and error and work on your own to fulfill your own unique vision you might feel hesitant giving someone step-by-step instructions on replicating what you've built.


There is a lack of initiative, patience and pride in the car community and people expect to be spoon-fed information and how-to's.

An open willingness to share is why engines like thr SBC, 4G63, LSX and 2JZ have become dominant. Dudes build and tune that shit, share what they did, more dudes copy that and share...

And boom, the resources become vast and it becomes a no brainer. Why build a Northstar or M113 when an LSX has endless support and help.

This is a stupid expensive hobby and nobody wants to waste THOUSANDS if not TENS of thousands of dollars only to have engines blow up or wheels fit like shit.

To be far isnt he doing what literally everyone in this thread and most people do on forums/facebook groups do?

"UsE ThE SeARaCh" I've got a fair bit knowledge when people ask me personal question and depending how to ask Im free to give an answer. If its mind blowingly simple then I just act stupid like I dont know.

Either way I think he is a decent dude regardless of SN and brands his cars are dope. There is so many other people to be butthurt over if thats what this thread is about like the kid who has a Lambo at 19, did a roll cage exoskelton as a "rally" theme. Highly talked about his air intercooler mounted opposite flow of air only to blow smoke 2 days later from this next level turbo kit.

It seems like most people mainly kids in my generation always talk about doing unique things or saying "watch my build bro" then end up doing the most tasteless garbage to a car. I see it all the time in the 240sx group with guys and there first car. I bought mine at 18 and been DD driving it, done everything I think in a tasteful way with kouki aero, authentic parts, blitz wheels, reliability to DD etc meanwhile you have people fresh into the scene getting stock chassis just to throw nightshade on tails, add rep wheels with horrible specs, cut the car to shit, destroy the interior then drop the "build" only to rinse/repeat to the next owner. I know maybe two/three dudes who have decent cars at my age and actually drive there cars.

(pretty much echoing corbic here)
no shit. what im saying is you can do all sorts of research and certain info just isnt out there or readily available. if someone has that last piece of the puzzle, you are going to ask them for help (in a respectful manner).

some of these people generate money (or atleast traffic) through social media (usually referred to as an 'influencer'). personally, if you're going to go that route, you better be ready to answer the same question over and over again. if you dont want to deal with idiots on the internet, go get a real job. an alternative solution to this problem is put a section on said page for personal cars. anyone asks you for wheel specs, bam just send them to your site. you also generate more traffic on your site and get to help someone. its a win win. or you could continue to ignore people, not my brand or name on the line i dont care.

i do agree with your last paragraph, but that isnt everyone. there is a right and wrong way to approach a stranger and ask for help.

when i came across his page he just wasnt answering the wheel spec questions. if he did, he would just respond with something like '15"'. no shit, i can see that by zooming in on the sidewall of the tire.

as stated in my previous post. i understand people want to be spoon-fed. its the path of least resistance. although, you can generally tell who has done the proper research and who actually needs help based off of the type of question they are asking.

I'm not against the sharing of information, but people shouldn't expect it. Especially when we're dealing with aesthetics.

The guy that made that car is coming out with FRP overfenders that are 3d scanned from his car. If you look up @masaru2236 on instagram you can see the ones hes putting into production as well as the process of making the metal ones.

IMO building real metal ones will always be cooler, but its a lot of work that can be fucked up easily. I'd recommend waiting until he releases the FRP ones and just molding them in.
