Well i thought the time had come this year but yet again it passed with no problems. I think the thing for me if it keeps passing then i keep it but the day the testers hammer managers to break through then bye bye s12 as i spent nearly a year doind up my Mk1 when i had that, welding etc, i did enjoy the Mk1 but when i put the kit on the Mk2 i now wished i had'nt.
I reckon with these cars, its like an addiction, you know they are more than capable on the road/track but how far do you go. With any hobby/interest you need to draw the line somewhere its different for everybody i reckon i would probably put the motor in something light or even make a chasis to go round the running gear so the engine will live on for me . I did always enjoy my old datsuns when i had them, Car History was :- Datsun Violet with sss running gear. Datsun BluebirdSSS 1.8. Datsun 260z with carb modsand different exhaust. Datsun Laurel with the 260 z in it after it fell apart. Nissan 300zx single turbo Z31( boost upgrade).Fast enough. Golf Mk1, Lowered usual stuff. Astra Mk2 1.8 GTE. Exhaust, filter Plugs and Re-map. Nissan Silvia Turbo MK1 1985. Spares Mk1 1984 Black over silver Spares Mk2 1986 Bright red auto Spare car which i gave to my friend to put onto the road, 1988 black mk 2 G reg.( should have let him have it , he wrecked it ) Spares Mk2 1986 Metallic blue, then sold to a friend now on the road. Now the beast i have today, so i reckon i still done know what i would get after all of those.

i actually bought my silvia through neccessity cos i was on a course in wales. the first weekend i came home my trusty old rover 623 broke big time and i only had 200 quid spare to get me some wheels. it was down to either a silvia or a 1l fiesta! best thing i ever bought though! if i had heard of them before then i can honestly say i would have bought one years ago instead of fannying around paying 5 grand for a supercharged corrado that wasn't much faster! i have had a very wide range of cars myself!
k reg escort 1.3 f reg golf gti 8 valve h reg corrado g60 rover 600 2l d reg mr2 e reg golf gti 8 valve rover 623 my silvia mk2 also bought a mk1 for 60 quid but it turned out to be well knackered! i will most probably own a silvia for a very long time now!

I think at 20yrs old im quite young to like the old silvia, but my dads black 2litre s12 was the car i was taken home from the hospital in in 1986! I love all the nissans, they are real drivers cars, and believe it or not my silvia has been more reliable than any car ive owned, including all my VTEC's! I found this 1 in my mates garden, i bought it for £600 and got it back on the road just with a set of wiper blades!!! I plan to use it as a track car next year as for the price to fix it and the price of the car, i dont mind crashing or blowing it up!
One thing for sure, i'll never sell it!

I think the cars that get some proper rustproofing will survive.. must be loads of cars out there that have little more than the factory underseal that are going to get scrapped when the sills and arches rot away.
I bought a wax injection gun it only takes a day to do properly
