RE: rear X member mods

Fair enough.  I have just never heard of anyone going to the trouble of plasma cutting the slots but as you say, seeing it was all there why not.  Much easier!   Regards Brad Hallett http://www.powerup.com.au/~bhallett http://www.datrats.com.au for the best in Nissan Motorsport Equipment -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Cameron Mckinnon Sent: Friday, 6 July 2001 10:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: rear X member mods Hi Brad,     I got the A arm mounting points 'slotted' to allow for rear wheel camber and toe adjustments....I figured while the guy had the plasma cutter sparked up he might as well slot the mounting points as I had planned to do it with a little die grinder.   Cam       ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Hallett To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 1:26 AM Subject: RE: rear X member mods Cam Why did you get the trailing arm mounts plasma cut?   Brad Hallett http://www.powerup.com.au/~bhallett http://www.datrats.com.au for the best in Nissan Motorsport Equipment -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Cam Sent: Friday, 6 July 2001 12:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: rear X member mods Um, you can have mine .....   It's rooted tho, you couldn't cut paper with it now. Would you believe I only used it to cut two holes in my stone tray (air inlet for my pod filter)   It cost me about $50 and used it twice :(   I ended up getting the local sheet metal place to plasma cut the opening of the crossmember, re-weld in the 4" pipe, plasma cut the A arm mounting points to allow for adjustable camber all for $120.  (which is still to dear in my book but anyway)   Just take it to a local sheet metal joint and pay them for the headaches.   Cam   ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Hallett To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 9:29 PM Subject: RE: rear X member mods Adam Perhaps you could hire the gear or at least buy a 2nd hand 4" hole saw from a fellow lister and hire a welder?  I am sure there are plenty of other Datsun freaks out there like myself that bought a 4" holesaw to do the xmember, then found there is absolutely no other use in the universe for a 4" holesaw   And before you ask the obvious, I gave mine away to another Datto fruitcake.   Regards Brad Hallett http://www.powerup.com.au/~bhallett http://www.datrats.com.au for the best in Nissan Motorsport Equipment -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Adam Jackson Sent: Thursday, 5 July 2001 9:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rear X member mods Hello everyone, I am just interested in finding out how much we all paid to get the exhaust hole enlarged and new pipe welded in? As I was quoted $200 tonight by a bloke who has done many of these mods. After speaking to a mate it would be cheaper to buy a crap welder and 4" hole saw than paying this bloke and i would end up with some nifty new tools too.   Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.   Cheers, Adam --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
