Hi,I'm working for the company who invented lexan(before we were sold) and actually over 32 years in lexan sheet & film manufacturing.I suggest finish your drillholes on both sides by milling the edges with a much large drill a bit.Then putting vibration dampers & metalwashers with laminated rubber under teh sealing cap of your bolts.All to prevent cracks.
Why don't you upload anymore?
The windows turned out mint man! love the videos, hope more people find your channel!
Man i'm just waiting to see that car roll on out there and just rip it up, such great work and time put into this thing awesome man just awesome.
+TriniRogue thanks mate.
if you ever redo the windows start in one corner and evenly work your way out that will stop the plastic from distorting which is creating your ripple effect, liked the idea of using plasti dip though much better than regular paint
Good work man....thanks for takin' the time. Lookin' at Lexan glass for my 49 Chevy eRod..gave me some good ideas...Appreciate all of it
Subbed to you a while ago loving the work you put into the car. Just wanted to mention that the car looks really good and can't wait to see it run(like an event). Some form of power figure/curve would be also be fun to watch to se how the custom work turnes out! :)
Dude! I just love your videos man! I don't even mind the 44 minute video! Great music Btw! AWESOME VID! Keep up the great work! You deserve a lot more Subs FoSho!
Stumbled upon your videos. Glad I did. Needed some ideas to keep me motivated on my own projects. Good job mate! well done
+Dougal Smith thanks mate yea had to keep motivated at times glad i help in some way.
Looks good you should black out the chrome in the tail lights
Please post an update of how things are with the turbo setup! I would pay for some driving or dyno footage lmao
I dont think it worked.
Cut vacuum hose down the center and slide it over the edges like a trim peice for a water tight seal and clean up edges of the lexan .
Use a heat gun to make the lexan hold its curves & shape permanently .
Mark Rich relief cuts and them go back over them with clear acrylic adhesive they use for fish tanks also works
But you also have to be careful with heat and do it evenly
Quite frankly leaving it under a tight fitting black tarp on a hot sunny day will help a lot
As well as just relaxing over time
man. your car just keeps getting better and better. the new turbo setup is intense. have you got it to run better? i remember it was having issues after it got hot.
+jason lucas yea mate that was an easy fix just had to correct ecu map when car got to temp.
look into GE Makrolon AR3 . much better material for longevity , scratch resistance, and shatter resistance, lower grade home depot lexan will shatter like un tempered glass. no good. for the ripples , you can put some heat into it and relieve it some. also bully dog adhesion promoter will let you paint the perimeter and itll last. just clear the painted area. really dig this channel . only watched a bit, but appreciate his / your effort. just outboard with the hardware you can also instead of the silicone , use a one side adhesive weather strip meant for a door etc . just remember to use long pieces on top edges so rain cant get in , and maybe silicone just joined edges for vertical pieces .
+twistymcslide2 i did think of weather strip halfway through putting the silicone on the car lol oh well..
but i would have to order some rubber stripping as car shop's only hold the cheap foam stuff this lexan is pretty good very strong.
it's not like the acrylic plastic that can break easy if this is what your refering to. cheers for the comment
Wish you would start posting again. Huge fan of your work!
Just want to say, I love all your videos. Definitely gives me more faith in my CA18 build. But just saying, you know they make lexan windows already for the 180sx. Just seems like a lot of work instead of spending $180 usd for windows, lol. But I guess if you do everything yourself, all that money adds up! Keep up the good work, I'm still checking in on these vids. Thanks for the tips on the nut insert tool, I'm definitely going to purchase one now.
+Chris Morrison thanks man that's cool to hear.
If you ever get stuck with any CA18 related questions or need some parts, some of the gurus on this site may be able to help you, as they have helped me. I know they'd be interested in your build too.
forums.nicoclub.com/ca18de-ca18det-forum.html
+Chris Morrison thanks man will keep that in mind.
I think if you used a heat gun you could have gotten the desired flat look (no waves) you were looking for. How you would do it I'm not sure. I guess start with your corner bolt heat it up, shape it and then mark, drill, and bolt it in. But nice job it looks great.
very nice man! this project is super work!
+Petr Sládek thanks mate
You really need to put relief cuts that you later go back with something like acrylic adhesive o something like that after final bolt up and fit that way it's WAY easier to bend and manipulate and won warp as much
Try starting at the smallest corner and work you mr way to the widest path. V shaped cross pattern. Top rail then bottoms rail back up again it will eliminate the waves
That thing is starting to look like a spaceship... in a good way :D
Very nice build project! Loved to see all the videos. When are you going to start drifting?
+Александр Прокофьев thanks mate yea same here.
Sick vids,love the custom fab
Awesome. Any reason why you didnt heat them up? I feel if you ran over the windows with a heatgun bit by bit it would have relieved some of the stress and ripples.
+ratgreen on my last window's they were a pain to get them to bend just a little bit,
i had 2 heat guns on them flat out and i had to bend the window's so much just to get a small amount of the window to bend as i found out lexan has a lot of spring back,
on the old window's they got that hot when i done this some of the plastic bubbled (starting to melt) so with this much heat needed and trying to hold the window in vice to get a crazy amount of bending going on just to watch it all spring back almost straight was not fun,
so running a heat gun even bolted to the car wont do a great deal
they also left a lot of stretch marks in the plastic where they did bend where the heat was applied on the window and i didn't want to do this again
so i really could not be botherd in heating these windows up and trying to bend them again as you have to take the protective layer off and a nice chance to scratch them up and put stretch mark effect's in the plastic itself
so this time i just used thin lexan and how ever it bolted to the car i was happy with that knowing the hassles from the last attempt this was much more enjoyable to do lol
i hope over time and being in the sun that they might relax a little bit.cheers
need some steel strips run along side where the bolts are to stop the dimples.
Thank you for uploading. 10/10 man
Great job!, and thanks for your time and instruction. =)
Need to come back bro
great video man, thank you foe sharing
Cool. Thanks for the guide........
awesome job loved the video
Looks great!
Looking awesome buddy! :D
+Allan003 cheers mate :D
Good sir could you please share where you got your fender flares from? or are those also home made!
+superboogen lol na not home made i found these on ebay.
What thickness did you go with the lexan? 1/8? Awesome build so far, keep it up!
+Danielo do Rego yes 1/8 (3mm)
Would love to see an update of the car.
Good work mate!
Are you going to make more videos ??
Where you go? Hope all is well.
Can you teach me how to make my ca18det run so i dont have to hate it all the time XD it starts but wont go over 3-4000 rpm stock everything except fuel pump, exhaust and intercooler, i've checked injectors maf and spark plugs countless times, it gets fuel and spark..
does the engine break down at those rpm's or it just wont go higher then those rpm's. find out your fuel pressure at those rpm's when the engine cant rev any higher, ca18 do have butterflies in there stock inlet manifold they need to open up at full throttle if they don't your engine is only sucking air through 1 of the 2 inlet valves per cylinder.
music is super IRRITATING..do you realise???
Don't be a bitch. Pipe down or you'll get piped
great work!
hope some updates are soon. this car is amazing.
+Chris Duke the car is ready for dyno tuning just waiting for tuner to let me know when he can borrow a dyno ( long story )
+styleslider400 nice. I is it going to be difficult to tune with that setup or no? what engine management have you got?
+Chris Duke i am using is a autronic smc ecu, it's just going to be a matter of fine tuning the spring pressures on the actuator and wategate's hopefully i have them close to where they need to be going by calculations but real world test will probably change that.
+styleslider400 so is this going to be a track toy or will you street it? would be cool to see it in real.
+Chris Duke track toy.
good job
When are you gonna post again?
Such a shame this car never hit the track. Seems like all this car ever did was get over-the-top modifications that didn't work, then replaced with even more that still didn't work.
would you recommend the 3mm lexan or would you go thicker or thinner? I wouldn't think thinner. I'm considering this now I have watched you.
+Chris Duke cool to hear man,
yea 3mm is just right a nice thickness to use i would use 3mm again if i had to replace a window later on.
+styleslider400 today I just finished the shape and started to mount my rear hatch lexan. thanks for giving me the confidence
+Chris Duke that's awesome to hear good work!
Just remember you can always cut more off but you can’t put more back on otherwise looks good
Any more update? Or have you abandoned the project?
where are you bro ?
bro get a rocket bunny type 2 kit and it be the best craziest ca18 s13 ever built.
Any updates
any new videos coming soon looking forward to a update!
+Seth Thomason hopefully, just confirmed a dyno date yesterday the shop has been so busy that there were booked out leading up to and over Christmas break. fingers crossed for the 8th of February
AUSSIEEEEE :D
Can you rivet these on?
where you been hope all is well
had a break from the car after another dyno fail, the twin turbo setup did not work which was a shame after all the work that went into it, and i have almost finished making a new single turbo manifold for the car there will be a update video when i finish making it.
+styleslider400 sorry to hear that the turbo setup looks so promising which part don't work my friend was a awsome to watch the process .
all the exhaust pipe work was to big in "pipe volume" i would say that
all of the turbo manifold pipe work would have held at least 15 liters minimum
of air and my engine is under 2 liters so you can compare this like a
air compressor tank being oversized and taking to long to build pressure
in the tank while you have a turbo venting all that air out into the
exhaust the engine just could not catch up to build exhaust back
pressure. this was something i was not aware of at the time when i was building it all.
so i have taken the knowledge that i have learned from this mistake and while still wanting to make a turbo setup come on boost quickly after all the time wasted on the twin setup
i have almost finished building a variable volume turbo manifold for a single turbo with a twin scroll exhaust housing with correct pipe sizing this time.
+styleslider400 I see thanks to let me know I was thinking to do what you do .also looking forward to see the new videos I really love watch your channel awsome videos my friend respect you sir
cool to hear, cheers mate.
The twin turbo setup didnt work? The sequential staying or you juts gonna do parallel, or single turbo?
sorry yea i was meant to say that the sequential didn't work, im going back with a single turbo but i have made a single turbo manifold that replicates the concept of what a sequential turbo setup is suppose to do to the exhaust pressure in the turbo manifold.
What exactly went wrong with sequential setup? Running lean?
due to good old lack of knowledge, the pipe work on the turbo manifold was oversized with the pipe diameter vs cylinder head port diameter and the amount of air volume in the manifold was to much for a little 2L engine so this prevented me not being able to build any pressure in the turbo manifold to make boost.
not a fun day.
Shit happens. You still got mad respect from a lot of us. Not too many people would even attempt to build a completely custom sequential turbo setup. It takes a fair amount of pen and paper noodling to get a design that will work (somewhat) flawless first go
cheers man
could have used a heat gun to help mold the plastic
Have a link for the tool kit
google nutsert kit
Updates?
Alloy Revists or non alloy ?
Alloy.
Thanks BRO
I'm so stoked I came across your channel. Just by chance. Love your video. Envy the talent, workmanship, dedication. Respect from South Africa. Liked & Subbed
hopefully I'll be able to post my build soon. RX8 with a 1JZ GTE VVTi single turbo.
Do mine!
Looks like nothing ever came of this
No Shi...T! on the Music!! BTW, I Like that kind of Music, Yet I TRIED and Tried Again and Only got 4 min into.. What was he thinking, he Present's Well and Slow and explains, yet I'm Dancing doing X or pure Cocaine to the Music. I guess? never have done, but people tell me .. Man I gotta Shut this down and Un Subscribe TOO!
RIP build
Awful job..looks like a tank.
My suv got 200 k miles I’m putting new transmission and a new motor with only 70k miles on it . It’s gonna keep on running for a good 5 more years
updates?
yea, the twin turbo setup didn't work and in a few weeks time there will be a video on whats going on, just waiting for a part that i made to be machined when i have that back i will do a video so i have something to show. cheers
Hi sir, i cant recall how much times i have watched your videos, great job on doing your own work and making all things yourself. Where are those fender flares from? They look absolutely fantastic. Keep on with the good work
