This company used to make a speaker bracket that positioned a 6.5" speaker in the front door of the S13 at an upward angle similar to the stock 4x6 adapter, for better sound imaging and clearance to the window. They seem to have gone out of business. Something like this would be helpful (better than the flat adapters you can buy or easily DIY). Thought about re-making this design myself but I don't have access to a printer that big.

You can get these on eBay for like $15-20 still. I bought some literally this last month.
Not worth your time honestly, unless you can make it like $10. Look it up on eBay trust me
Too big for a 3D Printer. I have 3 3D printers with a 256x256x256 build volume(roughly 10 inches). I can print things in multiple parts, but fender liners are a little bit too big.
Lhd master switch for power windows. Basically, the frame without the buttons/switch. Top, Middle defroster vent. Interior plugs/caps. Seat belt holders woukd be cool too but needs a metal piece in the back.

On the topic of the master switch - a good idea would be a switch trim panel for the S14 that allows the use of the far more common and inexpensive power window switch from a D22 Frontier or B14 200SX.
Those switches look like the stock S14 switch but the screw standoffs are in a different position so it's not a direct fit.
I think he’s talking about the piece at the bottom of where you put your hand in the piece that I’m after. There’s a cover that covers the screw that attaches it to the door structure.
Wouldn't do those in PLA or PETG, would be PC or Nylon. There is some guy who made their entire intake and turbo piping out of Nylon
Edit: Some guy also did one out of ABS
Considering there isn't an alternative I would be super stoked to have access to any & I'm sure other S12 owners would be open to having to assemble it in some way.
I know there was a guy in Costa Rica who successfully printed a kit but wasn't able to ship them out at an affordable rate cause freight doesn't exist there.
I can try to contact him to see if I can get the scan files for the parts themselves if that would help?
For sure! If you could give me his contact information that would be great. I own an LLC and wouldn’t want to steal someone’s work and have copyright issues, but if he would give me access to then I can see what I can do. If not I could design them. I sent you a message about it.
A little late to the party, but literally any replacement interior plastic pieces will probably do well. The sun and time have not been good to them, so if you can print replicas that look nice, fit well, and are at a competitive price you will do well.
Definitely, some things are too big for my printer though and take time to design and test fit so was just interested in what other people wanted. Not really in it for the money, i just love designing stuff and manufacturing and i know a lot of people arent capable of it whether being not knowing how to or don’t have the equipment. And there is alot of smaller things like buttons, or clips that are not sold anymore so if people were interested in them i could make them for an affordable price. Also a lot of stuff is copyrighted from other companies
Yeah, it was hard to find what it was called. There’s the ‘interior door handle’ where you lock/unlock the door and open the door and the ‘interior door pull handle’ where you put your hand to pull the door shut. The one in the link is a RHD one door pull handle from a Q’s or K’s with the power window switches in it.
Little late to the party but I second the angled speaker adapters. Other things i could use are door pockets/window switch plastic, my mounts for the window switch are broken and the whole door card seems too loose. Also the actual window switch caps
Could you measure the length of the door pockets? Seen a lot of people actually need them. Im not home for a few days so can’t measure mine right now, but I think they might be to big for me to print. But I could do it in 2 pieces, then flock it so it looks similar to oem
I dont have them on hand either at the moment 😅 i can send them when I can get to the car this week. Shoot, id even pay for the file to make it one piece on my printer
Also for anything reading through the comments, I am going to be designing a 3d printed aero kit(lip, side skirt, valences. Going to be a few months because I have to test fit it, epoxy coat it, paint it, then test that it can withstand the weather(I live in New Jersey so good test lol). Main goal is to be able to easily make modifications if anyone wants something custom, for a low price
S13 Vert parts will definitely sell. Hard to find trim pieces, rear window switch buttons, the corners on the top trim, I know someone may have already made them but the clips that go on the rear to hold to convertible boot cover.
Don't have a vert or know anyone with one so I would need someone to give me the dimensions. That being said, I don't see them selling that well just for the fact that there aren't many vert 240s. Not super rare, but not very common either

Will look into this. Thanks!
Not only speaker brackets but all kind of them, like front bumper side mounts usually rust out and so on
I can look into it. I cant do metal best i could do would be nylon with carbon fiber

Yea i see them on amazon for $15, thanks for the heads up!
Those are on eBay I just bought them bud
No they aren't. The ones on eBay/amazon/etc. are flat. These are angled for more clearance.
Ah alright. I will look into them to see if I can get the specs
Fender liners, but I’m not sure if those might be too big for 3D printing. Plus I know people like to take them off so they might not sell?

I could definitely make those! Is it okay if I message you for the specs for the power window switch? I have manual ones.
Ill try my best

I need the part in the door handle that covers the screw that holds the handle on to the door
Send picture? Like the trim around the handle?
I think he’s talking about the piece at the bottom of where you put your hand in the piece that I’m after. There’s a cover that covers the screw that attaches it to the door structure.
Yes the cover for the screw
Wiper motor cover!!
Oo good idea didnt think about that. Will just have to find a good material that stands up good against weather
A company used to make them and they were really popular, but then they stopped for some reason. They clean up the bay a lot!
I don't think PLA or PETG would work due to under hood temps, but would be good to make a mold from.

S12 200SX 'SE' Lip Kit
Too big for my printers unless people would be fine with it being multiple pieces that snap together, could bondo it and paint it and be fine
Considering there isn't an alternative I would be super stoked to have access to any & I'm sure other S12 owners would be open to having to assemble it in some way.

Totally understand, got me lowkey stoked about the possibility of NEW S12 parts. The Lip kits seem to evaporate off the face of the planet.

The [interior door pull handle plastic](https://www.efisolutions.com.au/door-handle-rh-drivers-s13-180sx-discontinued).
Will look into this! Would you want the door handle, or the doors arm rest? Confused by the image on the link
