I'll try and get some updated pictures for you guys today. We removed a nice bit yesterday as well. Dash and airbags are out, AC/Radiator is out, brake kit is completely off, etc.

Sharif@Forged 07-23-2009 09:52 AM

Made quite a bit more progress, and the pile is getting bigger. :)

We're about to pull off the interior crash bar, and pull out the heater core/blower, and all the other uneeded items from under there. THere is a quite a bit of weight locked up under the dashboard.

Can you PPPPPPLEASE measure the inner diameter of the stock cat flange on the y-pipe side. I have asked many but to no avail I am still searching for the answer. MM or inches would be great!!!

Also if they are for sale PM me a price on what you would like for them.

Thanks!

I don't have my stock cats here, but I do have the stock Y-pipe here. My calipers show 42.5mm ID on the Y-pipe flanges on the side where they mate with the stock cats, I would hope/assume the cats are the same.

CCCLXXZ 07-23-2009 01:48 PM

I am pretty sure they aren't the same!!! it should be closer to 2" or 50.8mm I believe... I haven't had the time to take off my y-pipe to check.

Thanks

We'll see if that can be arranged. :tiphat:

Plan on driving in the rain? Seems like the whole car is stripped but the two stalks.

Ryan@Forged 07-23-2009 10:14 PM

We still have a good bit of weight to lose before we are done stripping the car. It's amazing how much unseen weight is on the car. We still have yet to touch the sound deadening which will add up to a pretty good amount of weight. The blower is still in the car as well, but should be the next part to come off.

OMGGG MOARRRRRRRR!!!

On a side note, it's good to see how many holes there are on the various panels that does not affect structural rigidity. Shows that nissan engineers focused on lowering weight. I love that!

I can't wait for the install of aftermarket goodies!!!
