Default Greetings from Belgium

Well hello there

I'm from BE and I recently bought myself a Nissan S12 coupe with CA18ET engine. Since the car isn't in good condition I decided to do a complete restoration and engine swap to CA18DET.
The reason why I subscribed me here is because the S12 scene isn't that big in BE (because there weren't many sold in Europe). And because my goal is to get it finished before JAE 2013 (although that's quite a tight deadline!)

Last time I went to JAE was in 2011 with my Honda Prelude 5th gen. Since I really like the UK JDM car scene I really want to go back there as soon as possible

How she arrived:



How she's sitting at this moment




Greetings from BE

@caz4244, Let's hope I'll be able to make that deadline. But I'm not gonna rush, rather quality then quick finish

@thenomisf, true. But I'm still thinking about what color I should paint him :P I'm thinking of combining black or brown with white (panda style).

@bidgaves12, hahaha. Do I update this topic or is there a place to put my project?

Anyhow, some updates:

Almost ready with my preparations to sandblast the engine bay and get rid of the annoying rust! :devilsidesmile:






I removed the gas tank


Painted the brake booster



Also did a road trip of 400km for some parts, but well worth the drive!
- ACL bearings
- Refurbished T28 turbo
- HKS filter
- APEXI S13 intercooler
- S13 engine dampers (not in the pics)

Hi Carolus,

nice to see you over here too. Are you following me

Good to see you are going to JAE, I have been a regular for the last 4 years. In 2011 I couldnt bring my S12 unfortunately but last year I was there with the Dutch Nissanclub at the NPOC (Nissan Primera Owners Club) stand.

Time for some updates

Removed some crusty 'metal'





Can you even call this metal?





And replaced it with new (real!) metal





Painted the engine bay and some other bits and pieces, made some new brake lines and replaced stuff where needed

Before paint










Refurbished brakes and suspension




Suspension driver side, before and after






Suspension passenger side, before and after







Complete package before and after






Next up: engine rebuild


Oh and by the way, I love my new brake pads
