Default Hey guy's n girl's

Just brought an s12 Silvia to for £600 didn't relize they existed till I stumbbled across this one... then I was hooked on her retro look, rear wheel driven turbo'd engine and the fact it was a Nissan. She came with the original wheels but currently running on so semi deep dishes look pretty good, is in a nice shiny red colour (barely any fading & paint work is very tidy) comes from an old boy who has looked after with respect & apperantly never ragged or drifted her, comes with a lot of spares (turbo, starter motor, filters etc) she has only done 67,000 miles & has a nice history, so looking foreward to my ownership. She is my second car I own at the mo, currently drivng a Nissan 100NX, the Silvia will be sitting on my drive for the next 6 month's while I hopefully transform her into an even bigger beauty...

most of all can't wait to start modding her!!

so hello to all from James.

Welcome aboard mate

All the info you need for reccomended mods and fault diagnosis etc is on the forum so you will pretty much always get an answer to what ever the question maybe.

Post some pics up if you can and also any ideas on what mods your going to do first?

Welcome to the S12oc

She looks a minter. The Mk1 bonnet, grill, etc. is unusual on an F reg. Perhaps someone preferred the look of the Mk1. I know Wacom prefers Mk1 bumpers, etc. as he bought one off me to put on a Mk2.

Look forward to seein your progress with her
