I saw these - SIDE SILL PLATE

And with my Japanese not being the best (or even at all) I'm struggling tounderstand if these are replacement for damaged sills or are they intended to strengthen the existing sills.

If the second they seem an excellent idea given the (relative) flexible nature of the R32 chassis.

Can anyone shed any light?

By mounting to fit the side sills, the longitudinal stiffness of the floor, torsional rigidity is improved. ***9679; Installation will require welding. Or to reduce the effect, but by using the rivet nut with special tool (nut riveter) Drill a hole in the body and can also be attached. (***8251; BNR32 will be mounted in the welding process.)

Stiffens, not a replacement according to the english translation.

Looks like the sterling price is £59.

Definitely interested if you want to combine an order & split the postage & import costs.

Cheers,

Not an expert in Japanese but my PC's translator says this Cris :-

So it looks like they are made to only strengthen existing items and are not replacement sills.

HTH!

Cheers chaps. My web browser translator thingy didn't come up with the goods.

I'd be happy with that mate. Perhaps we can work something out.

Cool Cris,

Pm me how you want to proceed.

I had a set of these on a different car, (albeit one that was known for a lack of structural integrity) a 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0. It made a huge difference in the feel of the car, as I noticed it as soon as I sat down in it.
