S14 Bumper Mod & Pulled Fenders - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys just wanted to show off my new bumper mod. I am sure someone else has done this but just thought it turned out real nice and wanted to show it off. I also just recently pulled my rear fenders and lowered my car and I think it turned out pretty nice. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. And maybe you guys can help me figure out why my rear wheels stick out unevenly. I think it is in the rear fender itself because I have replaced the rear subframe and ruca and toe arms. Any compliments or complaints welcome. Thanx, Cameron

looks good, no paint cracks?

s chassis are notorious for one wheel sticking out more then other..hahahhaa
i know so many people w/ the same problem. most of them track the car so could be something tweaked.

anywaas, looks good.

Nice bumper mod. And about the rear tires being uneven....understanding you have replaced components, but were they both adjusted to the same degree? It looks as if (from the pictures) that you're running a couple more degress of neg camber on the drivers side rear than the passenger side....

Thanx for the compliments guys. Everything has been aligned but I did lower it a little more and I think it may have added some negative camber to the rear but now that I look at the pics closer it does look like there is more in the drivers side. I did use a heat gun but there are still some paint cracks right at the edge of the fender but nothing up the fender. I just took some touch up paint and filled the cracks in a little. Its a daily driver so I'm kool with it not being perfect. Not looking for a show queen thats for sure. Thanx, Cameron

did you use the slugger technique?

kuruptR · 01-23-2006, 12:46 PM

looks like it needs an aligment, need better pics.

S14 guys are lucky

you dont get the dent like s13

looks clean, no bubble flare style pull

*NemeGuero* · 01-23-2006, 02:16 PM

I don't like the bumper mod.. It's a big gaping hole in the front of your bumper.

Car looks good though, so does the pull.

speedfiend · 01-23-2006, 02:18 PM

I actually used a fender puller. No baseball mods here. Thanx for the comments. Cameron

trsilvias13 · 01-23-2006, 03:45 PM

did you paint chip or crack with the puller?

nice work..
i would have cute the height of the turning signal though and match the length of the lower opening, and cut off the middle divider.

That is what im aiming for on my bumper after if fix everything and go ka-t

i like your car color.
