as the title, whats the deal with them? what turbo do tey have? what should yu look for on them how is best to midify the standard engine/body any pics for inspiration would be ace
There's not a huge range of tuning parts available off the shelf for them, especially in the suspension area. Enginewise a CA18det swap would probably make tuning options easier.
I had one a few years back. Good cheap car to learn to drift in. cosworth RS500 intercooler or a one off a volvo can't remember which one though, good induction kit and exhaust will see you enough power to get it tail happy then just weld the rear diff. strip it out and have fun. Ohh and a DV for sound effects LOL
would a t25/t28 help matters over the t2 on a decent standard motor with induction/exhaust sorted! is there an s12 club or bunch of owners etc etc i suppose chopping a coil or 2 of is the only way of sorting the stance, is there any interchangeabuility between other nissan parts, ie s13/14 shocks etc etc maybe the diff, i dont know what the differances in the rear suspesion at the mo, just looking into my options if i get one of these, i like them as the look a lil like a trueno
Ive got one and had another before - they are good basic cars. As others have said, stick a Volvo FMIC on it, get a manual adjustable boost device, decent seat and you are away Ive got one with a T2 hybrid and one with a T25 - theres not a lot of difference to befair and the standard T2 does the job as well. The front can wear coilovers but the back needs fab work for coilies, likewise any kind of sexy diff. Theres an S12 section on SXOC Bulletin Board - Powered by vBulletin and Online Store - in Association with Amazon.com: is good too
They are a good car wel i think mine is anyway as said t2 as standard t25 makes a big difference most stuff has to be custom or made to fit Best place for info on the s12 is: S12oc.com Forums - Powered by vBulletin link to the doing the det swap S12 ca18det brief pointers - S12oc.com Forums
damm thats a sweet looking s12 id love one but people seem to have a dream on what they want for them
does the 13 clutch fit at all? i could get onbe & put it by as a "justincase" if i get one & do any of you s12 owners kknow the free length of the rear shocks, the open length & closed length???? & also the diameter & length of the damper incerts of the front shocks???
Longchamp XR4 on the back (which I believe Lightning was selling a set of) and possibly SSR Mech on the front (which you have to be part of the AE86 brotherhood to get anywhere near)
i dont car what rims they are aslong as they are'nt knackersed & have dish :OP 13/14 diameter & 7 or 8" wide loverly!!!
Yes the s13 clutch def does fit i ave one in mine don't ave a clue bout the supension stuff cause mine wasn't standaed when i got it
