New UK s12 Owners Please Introduce Yourselves

It has been noticed that there are a lot of UK s12 enthuisiasts that have signed up to www.s12oc.com but have not made an introduction.

S12oc has a newbie forum board to help you introduce yourself and get to know a few other like minded owners. We are a friendly club that enjoys a joke aswell as using the forum to help each other out when it matters and arrange club meets and shows.

If you own an s12 and Live in the United Kingdom we would like to hear from you.Especially if you are interested in attending some of our friendly shows......

My red Silvia Turbo was bought from a friend (lady) at 33,000 miles fives years ago.Now on 120.000. Works like a dream except for traditional rotting rear door due to spolier. Anybody any ideas before I dare take the step to unbolt and reveal?

Pray? I have yet to dare either.

I'm not quite new.. i've had my s12 for almost two years (and been lurking here & sxoc almost as long). It was previously my mum's car ..and after loving the car for all the years it was hers i nabbed it first chance i had when she bought her rx-8.

Current mods:
Lovely gunmetal paintjob.
Modified airbox.

Coming soon:
T25 turbo - refurbished
Cossie intercooler
Electric fans
New ignition coils (does anyone else do this?)
Custom exhaust (well, it kind of has to be)
Uprated brake pads
Grooved discs
K&N induction kit
KYB shocks all round
Chassis Dynamics lowering springs
Inovit gunmetal 'spirit' 17"x7's. (hopefully)
Walbro fuel pump
Uprated injectors
Dump valve (quiet one?)
Respray.
New wiper blades


I have far too many questions to ask, so im glad you're happy to answer!

Welcome to the site

What are your plans once the rear spoiler is removed? There are holes under here so unless your replacing the spoiler with another then these will need filing.

You can try and get your hands on an se rear spoiler which most people are, or search the scrappys for renault 19 16v , peugeout 405 ,and other rear spoilers as these have been tried and tested and look good.

Post some pictures up if you can mate, would be nice to see the s12

Hello everyone,

Have been poached form the FJ20 forum by S13eater. Rather a tenuous link via using the same engines in our cars.
I'm a GpB rally enthusiast and currently have a 240RS under restoration and a scruffy but very potent Datsun Silvia (s110 hatchback circa 1981). Keen to establish if anyone has any unusual cars of that ilk. Also if S13eater or anyone else can point in the right direction regarding L18 engine main bearings I'd be grateful.
Regards
Tom Murphy

hi matey, good to see you here, as i said before, try engine power at coventry, they got me alc l18 bearings for my fj20, you just need to open up the oil feeds on them and you have a better size clearence as well, i got 2 sets for the price of 1 set from nissan,£118 for 2 sets, you got to get some pics up on here matey.
