Cutting a Zenki front bumper - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Atljunglist · 03-09-2007, 03:33 PM

I have been searching for a while now. I was interested in cutting a bigger opening on my S14 to get more air to my FMIC. I have heard of people doing this before, but i was wondering if anyone had done a write up, posted pics, or if anyone had any advice to make things go smoother. What kind of products i should use, what would make the best cuts. I have a little experience in body work but not a ton, mostly sanding. Any help would be appreciated.

What decker said. Find out exactly where you need to cut, mark it off and cut. Simple.

The Dremel is my personal Jesus.

Use 1" carbide cut off wheels, They sell them by the pack at Home Depot

Push the bumper up to your car and mark where/what needs to be cut.

Then use whatever the hell you have to cut the bumper.

I used a sawzall.
