So what's the deal with getting new rails? Are there any places I can get them from over there? Mine are butchered from idiots putting jacks on them duh

Ordered rails today, coming from Japan so hopefully all goes well. Think I'm going to see if a local sheet metal fabrication shop can make up the rears for me once these get here.

should be easy enough for local metal worker or restoration panel shop shape up some rails. If you take them off quite neatly should be easy use as a pattern.
Quite surprised not available from japan nissan.

The rear ones on there are horrible but the design is easy enough to copy anyway, should turn out alright. I'm forwarding forward to fixing up the underbody. It's such a let down everytime I look at it lol

yes annoys me to see bent up rails & sills from careless jacking.
see quite a few poor fronts as so much weight on them due to cars weight balance. should be really easy do the rears, hardest thing is initially getting someone interested.

Relooking at the rears they are pretty screwed, getting accurate measurements will be interesting scratch
