Default Picked up my S12 today
Sold my 300bhp S13 a fortnight ago as I just wasn't using it enough to justify the cost. Today I replaced it with this:





It's standard besides the alloys and the infamous SE Nissan Boost upgrade.

The pictures make it look a lot nicer than it is but at 350 quid I'm pretty happy with it so far

I'm hoping to improve the handling first as it's currently a bit... odd. Feels a bit like you're driving on ice when you go round a corner - I'm assuming they're not all like that??

Umpkin - the photos really do flatter it, there's a big patch of laquer missing on one rear arch and load of cracked filler in the other Hoping I can tidy it up a bit though

There getting old cars so the 80s suspension and jacked up springs have probably softened even further. They can handle really well with a set of -40 springs from Avo.
It looks like a bargain for £350. IMO Any car with an mot is worth at least that let alone a rwd turboed Japanese vehical.
