Abandoned 240sx S13?!

Mint S13 quarter panels are hard to come by these days, which is why I did not want to use the OEM 240sx quarter I have. So instead I visit ‪@ryankost3704‬ for some parts! Ryan has a rusty 240sx S13 shell that was abandoned by its previous owner, which made a perfect candidate for a quarter panel donor. It's always to chop an S13, but luckily these parts will be put to good use.
I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up by myself. I swapped out the KA24e for a KA24de. Then once more for a RB25det out of a R34 Skyline and couldn't be happier. I have also converted the 240 to right hand drive, (which ended up saving my life!) After installing a few drift parts; such as a hydro E - Brake, and dual rear calipers, welded diff, solid suspension bushings and more, the car handled amazing. Surprisingly this S13 was able to drift and stay sideways perfectly despite the damage that was done to it.

Great idea on using a parts car, many builds will be saved when that quarter panel is able to be remanufactured!

[@pbe6965]

You would need the original tools to remade that panel. Metal springs a little back when it's stretched, and that has to be taken into account when pressing the panel. Even if a mold could be made from that panel, the parts that would came out from the press would be unusable because they won't retain the exact shape. It's fine if you want to save another car with it, but it probably won't be useful to recreate more and start a production batch from it.

[@futurenickel702]

@@pbe6965 ever thought of carbon? Plenty of molds can be made and many carbon versions of that panel can be made 🙂 don’t be so pessimistic

[@tkrteejay5558]

@@pbe6965 you must be new

[@mikeeru]

@@pbe6965 not sure if anyone will seriously try to recreate the factory press. Fiberglass or 3D scanning&printing look more realistic and affordable.

[@eduardgenardandalis1437]

I agree. Many of these cars were slowly disappearing/going “extinct” because of all the availability & conditions. Hopefully there was a manufacturer who can produce these parts from the mold based on the shown oem parts,given a licensing deal from Nissan, or the Nissan themselves to restock these parts (just like what they’ve done in every GT-R generations (R32,33, &34 + 35).

[@ghosteh6503]

Dude you’re such a motivating person. Probably really corny but that part about the plant growing in the car made me feel some kinda way. Their is always hope. Never give up. Definitely gonna have to cop one of those tees

My guy, I see you as a living legend at this point, and as the most massive positive symbol of never give up. You single handedly gave me hope for humanity again, after I've lost it throughout my life. Thank you.

[@MrBryant240sx]

I know we like s-chasis because they are light. This series has given me a excellent look at how just soft unibody cars can be. Though I have definitely noticed , when pulling in and out of my driveway that has angles my hatch with a sunroof will creak in multiple places from the stress.

[@OPEK.]

Sunroof models are notoriously weaker. But yeah it’s pretty pathetic how easy they split. I’m having issues around my shock towers, front driver and rear passenger are both splitting at the seams

[@mountainmischief3828]

My hatch won't even close when I'm parked at an angle lol

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Dude, I'm 47 and I love your videos. Not just for the content but for your general attitude to life. I wish I had my head on half as straight when I was young like you. You are an inspiration!! Love from Ireland

[@JaggerRambus]

The B-roll stuff is always cool. As a photographer I appreciate the little details that are in frame whether it be foreground, background, in focus, out of focus, or whatever it may be. It is like mini artistic masterpieces.

I think most people put in your situation would've probably just bought another shell and swapped the parts over. Its good to see how much you seem to care about 240's in general and keep your car going. Respect.

[@badaboom8520]

it is sad to see old cars go, it is the same with us people, their parts, (or human organs for context), go and serve to keep what is left of the cars on the road, (save someone's life), keep it up Mike, that 240weldZ is going to be nice and mint again

[@PrizzaMike]

That's a great way to think about it. Never thought to compare organs from a human 😬

[@xFALENOx]

You wont believe this mike, but goes like this: i just woke up, saturday morning, hangover, i go into the bathroom and think "maybe Mike uploaded something, let's check (while 'the letters that make up your name' play in the background of my head) then open KZbin and... THERE IT IS, RIGHT AT THE TOP, YOUR VIDEO, god bless you and your family bro

I think there is a company already makes fiberglass quarters tbh But the whole goal was to have metal body parts Metal > Fiberglass
