S12 Super Silhouette

[northerner]

Hey thats a top site never knew it existed!

[mister mister]

Brilliant! I think the only things I am missing now are suspension things (springs, dampers, spring rates, etc). I can work out the spring rates on my own, and make my own sway bars, but I would like to know what dampers they used, etc. I had a look on Impul's website, but couldn't find too much except some sexy photos. Brake sizes would be nice too, but again I can calculate that on my own if needed. Thanks for your help guys! More photos and articles to come I hope!

PS that nissan heritage site is fantastic!

You will struggle to replicate that car's underpinnings, as it was completely custom. There are pics on the net of its brakes and suspension, and it don't resemble anything to do with an S12.

Its called the Silhouette because it just resembles the S12 model, but other than that has very little in common.

There's a video of it on youtube racing against an R30.

Dunno my mate showed me it round his house. Was like a TV program where the main focus was the skyline, talking about the engine and stuff (in jap) and the S12 was following the R30 round the track.

Slimreaper has a fair collection of these, I'll see if he's got the footage you're talking about.
