It would have failed an MoT anyway and probably been off the road for longer so its a good thing. Honest.
As Dow said earlier in the thread, some of us S14 owners have been trying to warn the others...
Thats a cnut!! your lucky you didnt have moulded low side skirts or you'd be rightly screwed!!
True that... although the side skirt did pop out, but was appropriately pushed back in
The amount of work that i had done on mine last year on both inner rear arches and the wishbone areas was mental. Had to drop the subframe as the rot goes up that far.
Looks like it's the turn of my sills this year on the passenger side
Thirded (if there is such a word)On behalf of the S13 owners, might I be permitted to say ........
Tho tbh I jacked my 13 up a couple of years ago on the chassis and the jack went through that, even to the point of taking out the metal clutch pipe
Worth replacing the subframe with a poly bushed version at the same time perhaps?The amount of work that i had done on mine last year on both inner rear arches and the wishbone areas was mental. Had to drop the subframe as the rot goes up that far.

Guessing it would cost a fair amount to do the underside properly? Just feel like stripping the car entirely, welding and sorting everything out then putting it back together... but nothing aint purrrrfect (refering to the funny cat there) now is it
Thats what I was thinking also. Imho if you have to drop the sub frame it would be stupid to not replace the bushes at the same time

That's not an unusual sight round here for S14s
Just ask Veef13, XR33GTS, Sprout etc etc etc.
In fact, Ameano, PM veef about the welding, he knows a top place that did his
If you hadn't jacked it there if they even poked it at MOT it would have made a hole.
Living by the sea isn't all good.
noo the picture isnt working
but have some more rust
The pics put up make mine look mint...
... it isnt, incidentally can you jack on rollcage mounting points?
Bit of a funny looking 200 that one mate

They stopped making them in 1998 so anything registered after then will have just sat in a field/car lot untill someone bought it.
Still a shame

as you can tell on the production japanese model they still retain the same features. RWD, 2 doors and lots of rust

it's worrying to see more of this
12/13/14/a/15 owners beware
Christ that looks painfull.
Mine has had the rear sill rebuilt at some point in '08. Such a shame they rust so bad.
Thanks for the heads up mate!That's not an unusual sight round here for S14s

Always pay's to have a bit of a feel about under the sill before you jack it up. Bet it came as a shock on a car that is less than 10 years old.
Crickey! - and this is why I take mine off the road over the winter - while salt is down. That's really shocking for a car <10 yrs!
