Hi
 

Hey guys. Ive been signed up to this forum for ages but havn't really used it, untill now that is. My S12 has been sat in my garage for best part of a year untill I recently decided it was time to get it on the road after many half-harted attempts. As it stands its almost ready for MOT after a nitemare situation trying to find a new rad for an auto, not fun. Ended up with a new S13 rad, which left the issue of the auto-box oil cooler as the standard auto rad cools it via a channel at the bottom of the rad. Anyway I ended up with a brand new Genuine Nissan oil cooler courtesy of a mate and after much headscratching managed to get it bolted in.

So as it is today im waiting on a silicone hose with a 60-50mm reducer in my attempt to try and tidy up the bodge the previous owner left me. Once I have that its all systems go for the re-build of the boost pipework and hopefully a new set of alloys and just a little bit of general tidying up, replacing hose clips, change of brake fluid etc then off to 'the man' for the dreaded MOT.

So watch this space.....

Good luck with the MOT.Corrosion is starting to set in now on these s12's around brake and fuel lines, other than that i hope nothing too surprising comes up for you
What year and colour s12 have you got?

Will hopefully have some different wheels on it soon.

holy cr*p mate that look flipping clean. Love it! Some new wheels will set it off really nice.

What colour's the interior?

you've got me considering whether to paint my s12 the same gunmetal grey (ish) colour, also this pic looks sweet

one very clean silvia same year and colour as mine but my paint work is dull i think gunmetal grey and black silvia are more meaner then red and white ones good luck with your mot . cheers ;)

thats silvia gods house :)

really?! that s12 is the nuts. Any idea what happened to it anyone:D

paul (silviagod) will know.

Hey guys thanks for the comments. The interior is the brown one, not the dreaded blue. lol. Good news is it passed its MOT today. 2 advisorys, 1. NSF brake binding (been sat in my garage for a year so no wonder) 2. Rear pads worn (I knew this anyway) As for rot its completley solid underneath and im planning a good session with the waxoil somtime soon to keep it that way.

Been out and about in it today, good fun :D Although the welded diff got om my tits a little and the auto box is a bit odd but the power delivery is such a way that your breaking the law way before you realise it. lol, its so smooth.

So anyway now that its all on the road im going to spend the next few weeks just sorting out all the little issues like interior trim bits, sort the suspension out by replacing all the old bushes and a new cam belt and water pump just for piece of mind. After that it will be saving for some wheels. :D
