What do I do when a part is "unobtainable"

>>16616476
junk yards
group buys
similar cars that use the same part
make your own
etc

row52.com

that looks pretty simple to fabricate

>>16616476
Make it. It's a car, not a spacecraft.

get the part number and find a online part reseller that still sells them.

Then pay someone to do it. I could recreate that in less than an hour and probably improve on the original design.

Good comeback scumbag

15!

Just wrap it around the frame with some chicken wire. Not like you're ever going to be able to drive the car enough that it will matter.

>>16616592
Ill pay 15 for you to scrap that pile of shit.

Official 240sx hate thread.

>>16616643
As a mechanic in a performance shop, I willingly admit that a work order that has Nissan 240sx in the vehicle field definitely gets a "not it" by anyone picking up a work order for their next job. It should just say "well used dumpster fire."

>>16616703
Trust me I'm aware of it, I had been looking for 4 years before buying the one I did. I totally understand the stigma but have you ever driven a sr20?

>>16616476
bust out dat welder

>>16616735
not him and yes
underwhelming for the amount of love and current cost.
have you driven a ca or rb 240sx?
ca feels the same for ~$300
rb20 will need pistons and a rebuild but it'll do better at 400whp, and sounds sweet. can also bang the limiter all day doing skids without the valvetrain shitting out, or killing oil pumps like the 25/6, and the ca handles 9k stock valvetrain. a used sr will have more life left than a used ca18 though so it will need a rebuild which isn't a big deal with how cheap a ca is

Weld your own you dumb shit it's obviously not a show car

>>16616476

That muffle cradle looks extremely over engineered. Just get new rubber grommets/dampers and fabricate a cradle using some hollow section. Just bend it into the shape that would work for your muffler.

>>16616476
>not making your own muffler bracket out of coat hanger wire
it's like you're not even trying

>>16616476
>Need another rear muffler bracket
Muffler hangers do not always have to be the exact same shape and source. They are easy to fabricate and many shops will even bend and make their own hangers and sell their labor for it to you at a lower price than if you bought the OEM hanger. The tech benefits because now he got to sell you something with his labor and also collects the separate repair fee. And you benefit when the overall cost is less.

>Well If your near texas ill pay ya 10 bucks to make one
Don't be deliberately obnoxious. $10 for both the part and the repair labor is genuinely asshole of you.

>>16616580
>$10
I wouldn't even say $10 to my dad
I'd make him name his price, then add more to it as well as a case of beer because he's my dad so he's obviously giving my a super low price
