Welcome to SAU's newest forum, the Fabrication section.

This is the place to discuss custom fabrication of anything car related, like;

tools used - welders/band saws/lathes etc etc

methods of fabrication - metal Fab/Welding/fibreglassing

problems encountered during Fabrication (help)

Custom car fabrication/roll cages/rust repair

tips on welding methods

fabricating custom IC piping and ways and techniques

fabricating IC mounts/ oil cooler mounts

surge tank boxes

out of the square conversions

build your own strut braces

Be aware this forum is closely moderated to keep topics on track. Please be specific about what you are asking or discussing, otherwise general automotive discussion is probably the right place to be :laugh:

PS Sorry R33 Rob, you kind of did and you kind of didn't :D

Yepo!

Key point. Please be specific in your question... OR, if you are posting up your handy work.

Please ensure you put detail in for your audience.

No point showing people and not informing them of how you did things

R33 Rob, please try again and be more descriptive, your far to general.

This section is going to be a very specific one due to the nature of the work/questions

Perhaps, could this sectoin also include people who have fabrication gear e.g. welders etc who don't mind doing small things for sau rates (as opposed to overpriced workshops)?

once this section gets going, i believe that those people capable of doing/making things for others would be contactable via PM etc with evidence of things they have made.

no need to start any kind of competition or advertising for people, and people can see what they have done already and make the approach to them directly.

how about an intro on welding by whoever knows how? then stickying them.

id really like some general knowledge but im too lazy to do a course or anything.

and a big disclaimer would be good. 'IF YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP OR BREAK SOMETHING DONT BLAME US'

just a few suggestions.

yeah, that would be pretty cool.

I've been tempted to buy a welder (as the next tool on my list).

Yes i'm a tool whore.

I mean like at bunnings, they have ozito stick welders for $100. Yes, I know that a stick welder is inaccurate, and not as good as a mig, but it's cheap. The cigweld mig is $500.

the problem with that is that any custom exhaust is always going to end up being more expensive than a high volume production exhaust from places like just jap etc.

So if you are after cheap - then go that way

i'll see if i can find an easy way for things like this to be asked.

      EFR Anti surge = T51R mod?

      By hypergear · Posted

      T51R mod is an Antisurge slot. With exception that it has few extra legs on the base of it which makes a sound, and it needed to be inserted into the comp housing.

      Gtr r32 tank leaking: can I use stagea whc34 tank

      By Duncan · Posted

      Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
