crash repair - help & info.

[cleanhands]

Mine was a very snug fit, knocked into place using a rubber mallet. Then I put a nut and bolt on either side where the bumper iron fits (2nd pic, post 35). It still had the gap which is more noticeable on the back side. Drilled 9 holes either side to plug weld onto chassis rails.

I'll get some pics up of mine tomorrow. Personally, I wouldn't tweak the chassis leg but would adjust the front panel

Hope that helps

cheers chaps those pics do help Pete

I didn't realise how much the panel pinches in at the spot welds with still a fair amount of gap between the other bits, so that would account for most of it, I think my chassis legs at the ends are around 705-710mm apart from memory. I'll have to check that again.

I tried fitting the new crash bar yesterday and that fairly tightly slid over, similar to the original, so I don't think the legs have moved. bolting the crash bar on fully does seem to have changed it and tightened it up.

the m10 fine bolts have arrived to modify / fix the nismo power brace with, so will be doing that later today, assuming the snow has gone

Shit man. I was just checking to see how the car was going
