1JZKe55 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Squat! :hmm: Loving the diff and rear suspension. Convo Pro's are killer. Now I've read in a few threads and have been told by a couple of people that when you're welding a really long stretch of weld, it's best to do it in short strips and leave a gap before the next one. The reason being is that if the weld breaks, it might crack along the whole weld... I see that there's lots of LONG welds in your engine bay and since you're running lots of power (I assume so :bash: ) it is unlikely, but it could crack in the event of the chassis twisting... But, since you're a bloody handy panel fabricationer, you must have a reason for doing the job how you've done it. Hey yes your sooo right but somethings you can't stitch weld and has to be fully welded the fire wall was 1 of those the firewall is made of 6 individual bits of steel welded together if i stitched it together it wouldn't have enough strength in it you really gotta make sure when your welding that you get enough penetration in your weld you should be able to see it coming through to the other side of what ever your welding for those people who wanna seam weld their whole car don't your better off welding 25mm leave 40mm weld 25mm leave 40mm and so on just as strong and you wont warp your car as much :y: just something for the hell of it in the earlier photos of the car been held up by the block and tackle i welded 2 half chain links to the xmember just sort of an idea how strong my welding is i've passed all my x ray testing 1st time every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the plan for the 1j? you just gonna run a stock bottom end or upgrade it to forgies? cause you can get a hell of alot of power out of a standard 1j with an upgraded turbo.
