Default Hi people

unfortuntly im not yet an S12 owner but im just reserching into one. im fairly serius about buyign one. last summer i borught a 100nx and spent the winter working on it full restoration. it is almost finished and ready for the shows. (Jae etc) but i need a new project and S12 looks like the one i want.

Just after alittle help really ive had a good read of the site but i carnt seem to find a spec list kind of info. liek what Models came with what engines and what were available. i belive most came with Ca18et engines? did some come with ca18det? (wikipeida says later ones did? maybe not over here tho?) i see some with big bonnet scoops think this is a 2.0l non turbo? im not really sure. im just after some tips. whats the best to get? do mk2 have much differance? that kind of thinks. also modifications. like the 100nx ive herd parts are ahrd to get hold of like suspention coilovers etc?

any help and advice would be appricatied

Joe.

Good to see another person getting intrested in S12s. There are a large range of engines available depending on where you are in the world. It the uk they mainly came with a CA18ET. In the states there was a choice of
CA20E, CA18ET or V6 VG30E. And in the Japan and ozz they came with FJ20E & FJ20ET aswell. I believe few late models did come with CA18DET. 2 body styles available fastback or hatch, hatch is more commonly known a Gazzelle. As for tuning and part or lack of parts most of it is fabrication or making s13/14 bits fit, such as coilovers.

I think thats about it hope this helps and any questions you have someone one on here will be able to help you with.

Do the right thing and buy an S12 .

Welcome again
