Hello everyone over here!!

I am the proud owner of a S12 and live in Norfolk.

I have gone halfs up on this with a friend as it just became far to expensive for me to keep using my R33 GTR Skyline on trackdays and i do love the odd trackday!! I am also hoping to get this car to the level where it can handle a bit of drifting.

I have quite a vast knowledge of all things to do with the Skyline so if anyone needs any help with the engine etc then give me a shout.

I hope you guys can point me in the right direction with this car as i know absolutely nothing about it but would like to build it into a good track car, it is running the CA18ET.

First things first where can i find some decent suspension for the car?

I am the other owner with Ian as per the post above - Hi to you all!

My last Jap car was an R34 GTR v-spec Skyline with 500bhp and am now running a Clio V6 phase 2 with 300bhp.

The S12 is going to become a bit of a track car/drift car.

It seems a shame in some ways, since the car was 1 owner from new in June 1987. The interior is a peach with just a couple of small marks on the pax side door card.

Nice cars these, I always wanted one. Back in 1987, I lived in Germany and these were the cars to have! Kind of old school and just more interesting than the S13/14/15.

I am by trade originally an engineer and now have pleanty of experience with Turbo's etc and Jap engineering!

Yes it is, it has a 3L V6 engine in the back. Its the phase 2, so it handles well and is not a widow maker like the phase 1. Standard it is 255bhp, but with mods is up to 300bhp
