I'm a newbie too...
Hi guys, my name's Tim, friends call me Bo, or the boy...
I own a S12 Silvia... It's my first Nissan... Err... she's am '85 which I brought a year ago (love the retro rockets) and after blapping it about for a couple of weeks... I blew the turbo, warped a brake disc and the diff felt like it was grinding... real bad... I've spent the last 12 months collecting parts for her... mission on it's own, never mind the year previous trying to find the car to begin with... Parts... Black Diamonds Discs (F R32,& S12 R) R32 Front Hubs and calipers Red stuff pads Steel braided Hoses S13 LSD New Rear swaybar bushes New brake seal kit (both S12 R, and R32 F) Momo Stearing wheel Snap Off Boss Cobra MonacoII Bucket... blah blah blah... Ohh... and i'm a Rotary head... so, i'm leaning towards an RX7 lump... but recently a few have recomended a SR20DET lump... but that's alot of cash... And last but not least there was a guy around South Ockenden way a few years back... a black S12 with 3 spokes... YOU are guilty for my (now 6 odd years of looking for one!) OBSESSION! !! !!!

HAHA i believe you must mean Umpkin. He is on this site. He has a mk1 in black with the se monaco spoiler etc. Nice looking car
 You have a nice spec to your car. When did you do the s13 lsd conversion? Do you have any pictures of the r32 brake setup on your s12. It sounds like a gd project. PICTURES!!!!!!!!!! are you interested in coming to any shows this year?

im also a newbie
hello everyone, im steve from durham, i have just bought my second s12, my first was around 6 years ago, the misus wanted me to be sensible and buy something with four doors, of course i said no, but she did point out that the spare room was cold and lonely on a night, so i decided to keep my nissan and restore it, and buy something she liked, perfect solution, get to keep the nissan whoohoo, but sadly not, the nissan was kept in a friends barn which was burned to the ground and the nissan was gutted, and so was i, so after searching hard i found another, its an 89 all standard never messed with and only has 89,000 miles on it, full service history and original bill of sale, it had been stood 2 years under trees and the white paint work had changed to tree green, i gave it a good clean up and got the g3 paste on it and i was surprised at just how solid she is, the only rust is on the o/s front wing, very soild underneath, gave her some fresh engine oil and filter and turned her over, fired up but ran very poorly, new plugs cured that, but the manifold gaskets were shot, changed those and now sounds sweet, ok, think ive said enough lol, oh, and the sensible car the wife got me to buy was a mondeo si, i got shot of that last week, and bought her a saab 93, she's happy, and im happy and still get to go to bed with her hahahah, oh, anyone got a good o/s wing for sale? thanks for reading my dribble lol, all the best guys, steve.

I've had my 85 auto copper S12 since 93. Great to see these cars are getting the attention they deserve. Have done the head gasket in 94 and turbo in 03.
Stored the car since then - started it regularly - no problem - best car for starting i've ever had -now the engine's knocking. So I'm now looking at my options and time constraints. This motor is way too cool and gorgeous to go to the breakers. I'd rather use it as a doss house than let that happen. But then it could be turned into something unbelievable by you experts. Your thoughts appreciated. At the moment I'm leaning towards breaking it myself, but tomorrow....
