Hi everyone
My names Kieren im 24 for Essex and i will be getting a silvia s12 tomorrow.
I have owned and built a few s bodies already. I had an s13 competition drift car and a couple of other s13s and my girlfriend is currently driving a
s15 spec r which she made the mistake of putting me on the insurance
i have also had an r33 gtst skyline but after that went bang i had to give up drifting and save up some cash. anyway got offered this s12 the other day and here i am.

only problem is its an auto and i need to do a manual conversion so any help would be great.

its not hard.

I can't imagine its to hard. I have done alot of engine conversions over the last 5 years and have a workshop with all the tools I need. If I can get all the bits easily done in a day I recon. Was thinking about going all out and doing a det conversion with the s13 box. Will at least give me decent power to hold a drift

Hi thanks for the info. Think I'm going down the det route now with s13 box as I can get the parts cheap enough. Was considering breaking the car for parts this morning but a friend convinced me to keep it.

any pics mate ?

[kturner1988]

Needs a little work. First off will be strip it down and remove anything I don't need. As its going to be a drifter it will be on a massive diet. The engine and auto parts will be removed. So if anyone wants a ca18et engine?

Need to repair the wing and rear arch and give it a colour change.
