Should revive the Fairlady line of cars if its going to look like that (after all, silvia's started with Fairlady's waaay back in the 60's)

For reference, i don't mean the z cars, i mean these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datsun_Fairlady

Oh what the f**k every iteration of the Silvia has been a good looking thing to look at except for the s12 saw a few of them at drift events they dont seem right, but that said others will say its a good looking car.

If they're making them cheap to sell to a younger audience they have to revise the styling or no one will buy them no matter how cheap they are.someone mentioned above its only a concept but so was the GTR and the new GTR doesnt look too dissimilar to the concept .

Hahaha thats red hot joey. :) They canned the sr20 and rb26 because they could not meet emissions targets. Thats why the x-trail got a qr25 motor and skyline got a vq35 motor. All good things must come to an end and sadly, thats whats happened to the silvia :mellow:

meh the power is fine according to that article. 1.6l turbo, 147kw. exactly the same power as the aus s14s had, and it should be lighter.

I'd be happy to be able to buy a convertable nissan cheaper than a 370z. should save me $20k on the next car

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
