Hi all, i'm gavin another new addition to the s12 way of life, actually i also just aquired a nice sunny b12 1.8zx too (for free), had vectra gsi for last 7 years, getting married in a few weeks, and decided to sell and buy something fun and rear wheel drive again, and have some money left over.... well that was the plan, had it 3 weeks.... after 3 days had head off due to exhaust manifold blowing and 1 bolt totally buggered, and found needed a rebuild. still now i know its all ok internally... but after just 200 miles, its in bits again... due to a blown turbo, and faulty crank oil seal... still keeps me poor, so my better half can spend it all..
![]() Keep all the good info flowing guys, newbies like me would be lost without places like this. Cheers Gav |

Hello everyone over here!!
I am the proud owner of a S12 and live in Norfolk. I have gone halfs up on this with a friend as it just became far to expensive for me to keep using my R33 GTR Skyline on trackdays and i do love the odd trackday!! I am also hoping to get this car to the level where it can handle a bit of drifting. I have quite a vast knowledge of all things to do with the Skyline so if anyone needs any help with the engine etc then give me a shout. I hope you guys can point me in the right direction with this car as i know absolutely nothing about it but would like to build it into a good track car, it is running the CA18ET. First things first where can i find some decent suspension for the car? |

I am the other owner with Ian as per the post above - Hi to you all!
My last Jap car was an R34 GTR v-spec Skyline with 500bhp and am now running a Clio V6 phase 2 with 300bhp. The S12 is going to become a bit of a track car/drift car. It seems a shame in some ways, since the car was 1 owner from new in June 1987. The interior is a peach with just a couple of small marks on the pax side door card. Nice cars these, I always wanted one. Back in 1987, I lived in Germany and these were the cars to have! Kind of old school and just more interesting than the S13/14/15. I am by trade originally an engineer and now have pleanty of experience with Turbo's etc and Jap engineering! Nik W |
