This build isn't my taste by any means, but this dude puts in more work than a large percentage of this forum.

A piece of shit Nissan constructed with welds an 8 year old child would be embarrassed by, driven on public roads is so catastrophically different from a carbon tub, multi-million dollar Formula One car on a glass smooth circuit that to compare the two illustrates how little you've thought about anything on this.

I'm sure you think it looks nice, over here they have this sort of stigma attached to them

back on topic the builds a good read,
I dig it and the extra pics of were you get ideas from is cool

Watch him proceed to bash your car because it doesnt look like a turd on wheels and it didn't require any "fab skills" xD

I'm sorry you feel so inadequate in your masculinity.

I need to cut my frame rails.

The biggest turn off about this thread is how fucking arrogant you are.

You’d be 1000x more inspirational if you came across more humbly about your work.

Instead I get the Hubeny vibes...

I can respect the fairly decent attention to detail, but this build just makes zero sense.

Every single car posted that is static at that height just ends up being destroyed. I do realize you're building the custom exhaust and replacing the rails, but that still won't save the actual chassis itself from getting mangled at even the slightest of bumps.

Driving anywhere will damage the underbody and possibly the car/aero itself.

Car is a hazard more than anything to not only yourself, but others on the road or the track.

snorkelcoupe · 07-02-2018, 06:58 AM

Phew it's getting spicy up in here! Hopefully the local roads are buttery smooth.. I've had friends that aren't this low catch air time on unexpected road work.

By bringing up F1 cars you've got to remember in modern times they run a replaceable skid plate that protects the chassis. So with that being said no one seems to be interested in implementing anything similar into these slammed builds. There's no telling if it would actually help though. That could be an idea/solution for your build?

Kalem_s13 · 07-02-2018, 10:16 AM

AscendaShogun · 07-02-2018, 03:23 PM

Some skid plate panelling under the car that was maybe bolted to the frame or something that also created a sick side skirt extension / splitter / lip extension look would be kinda sick to consider plus would minimise any component damage. Dimple die for some extra dexterity and you’re set.

I recommend checking the clearance between the inner side of your front wheels and your tension rods at full lock.

Thanks for fuelling the fire and bumping my thread tho

You're not important and no one cares what you're doing. You posted your car in a build thread on a popular public forum and expect no one to look at it? Get over yourself.

Cool fab work, car looks good so far but relax

Edit: Funny that you posted Nakamura's car, his car isn't low at all and was destroyed from hours of aggressive driving, not catching air over pebbles.

Seen Naoki drive like 3 or 4 times now IRL. I can honestly say that his style of driving is not for the weak and is not something you learn your first time out. It is also VERY high.

KoukiMonsta · 07-13-2018, 09:54 AM

SCRAPE TO FIT.

This is some crazy shit. I go away a while, kids start vaping, scraping floor pans, and eating fking detergent.

But hey, go for it, forget what everyone says. This guy is actually putting in work, using tools, cutting metal, making custom shit.

cooler than a 'bolt on build', which is all we see today.

to be fair, that car would be ridiculously easy to drift. long wheelbase + zero traction, body roll, suspension travel. basically ice skating. if someone managed to spin that thing out while ass-dragging at 30mph they probably should be thrown in jail.

240's are being destroyed at a never before seen rate, wanna know why?....
I understand it's his car for him to do whatever he wants with it, hell, just remove the tires and suspension, set it down, have a truck drag you around with a chain and maybe hit some corners until sparks start flying at your face, there, that should put a smirk on your face and save you time...
But please people, don't be encouraging others to destroy their cars the way this kid is destroying his. Lots of welding work can be done without trashing a car: Stitch weld, replace rails, replace rear quarters, delete sunroofs etc etc.
At this point Im even against wide rear fenders...

jumpman2334 · 07-13-2018, 11:19 AM

while I understand this may be your first time doing hard lines, they look like crap. The one line that touches part of your steering shaft is no beuno either. the lines that go through the grommets crooked or off center are also going to rub through the rubber and cause you problems later on. I recommend you re-do those.

gbaby2089 · 07-13-2018, 01:20 PM

You didn't say a word about my car when I posted it.

It is almost like....you realize deep down the error in your ways but as a result of your youth, naivete and ignorance you can't stop doubling down.

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-13-2018, 02:00 PM

Right, because saying that people should have their faces rearranged for not liking your car is any better.

Just take the compliments with the criticism. You knew building your car was going to rub people the wrong way. Live with it, put the naysayers on your block list and move on.

jumpman2334 · 07-13-2018, 02:08 PM

I guess I should have added, I don't care what you do to your car. I don't give a shit about 240s, they mean nothing to me. hack it up. all im saying is you should re-do your brake lines so you don't have problems down the line.

I enjoy the detailed oriented approach. I also like that this isn't like every other 240 build thread. I also like really low cars. if you want my build thread, I am more than happy to provide it to you.

They are just cars. Not even great ones by any means.
Not overly engineered. Not ahead of their time.

I've been into S-chassis for 12 years or so now, but I just don't give a shit if people destroy them. I'd guess you're younger than I, and I guess I felt as you do years ago.

Not hating, just voicing my opinion like the keyboard warrior I am. Eventually this kid will look back and realize this was a silly idea, but will have gained the ability to fabricate in the process....hopefully.
