Underbody pictures thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Pictures of underbody with interesting bracings, enforcements, lines or exhaust layout and any other good upgrades that make our cars even better are wanted here.

Please post your pictures with as many information as possible including your feedback (before and after)if possible.

Yours or others ideas backed up with good pictures are more than welcomed here.

I think Koguchi's car picture is a good start to get ideas about
how to make any s-chassis stronger and stiffer

not a bad idea but we already have a thread for chassis braces. This would fit more so in their than on its own.

It's also an inspirational thread where you can find pictures of clean and undamaged bottoms that should make any s-chassis owner proud.

I found there is not enough of good pictures of that side of our cars.

here few from Silbeer blog

noticed red cable for battery relocation in the framerail?

Any more info on the transmission/frame rail braces? Those look awesome!

h2v7 · 07-14-2013, 03:03 PM

damn wish the underside of my car looked anywhere close to that

This is a good thread idea

i think the undercarriage is one of the most important areas of a car and it says a lot about the rest of it and its owner. From my point of view it should be cleaned often and free of grease and oils, even if you have leaks. For now i only have these pix of my s14, old pix and crappy as hell i know....

It has had a few suspension upgrades since those pix were taken and im sure it's cleaner now. I'll take better pix the first chance i get.
And this is my current s30 project. Now this one is really gonna be clean:

Mikester · 07-15-2013, 07:08 AM

Only issue I see is that the floor is cut and boxed so the exhaust is flush with the floor of the car, not the frame rail.

Rich260z · 07-15-2013, 05:03 PM

How about some stock not cleaned goodness. My DD

Can someone say catastrophic suspension failure? probably tires seperated and wheel went under the car
