then you gotta make sure you get a Sentra without a sunroof..

but I agree, the T-Tops is what makes me want an NX again..

Nissan did it. The hardtop NX. If you're serious about racing, I'd just find one of these.

We like our bigger stock brakes, they work a bit better on road courses.

I might just try that first, or sub poly window for aluminum, the trick is to create a water seal on the edges of the new material...

Has anyone done a T-top delete by taking removing t-tops and riveting aluminum sheet in its place? I am thinking of doing that along with some structural reinforcement to eliminate chassis flex.

Let ideas flow...


That doesn't sound like the best solution. I can't think of a good way to do it cleanly. Also what's your final goal for the car? If TT or road racing is in the cards look at the rulebooks now.

Thanks.


Annie Sam's and Dan Gardner's NX's are both T-top conversions. I don't think you can do it well without pulling the windshield, but at the level of work you're looking at, it's really not a big deal.

Good luck finding one. Besides mine, I only know of a handful of others out there.

i know at one point in another thread (too lazy to search it and link it lol) couple people were going to look at finding seals that might work to fix leaking, replacing glass with something lighter for weight reduction, and even possibly going with carbon fiber t tops. dunno if it ever got off the ground or not though.
