Sunny1600 says Hi from the Netherlands with S12 GP
Hi guys
A little bit off copy pasty from another s12 enthusiasts forum. Im Mark from the Netherlands. Owner of a sunny N14 with GA16DS, which is now stripped. The car in better days on my favorite place, the Nordschleife in Germany.  Some pics of my sunny    350z gauges with Raid HP poly-ed to my dash  custom made LED converted tail lights. And because this is an UK forum, some pics from JAE.     Well that was then, I stripped the car like a month ago. My current ride  A mazda 323 from 1987 And while I was driving my sunny I wanted something faster than those 100bhp. And now the S12 I had my eye on this GP for some while now. But I couldnt afford it, the price was too high. So at certain moment he dropped his price and I made him an offer. He accepted so I suggested to make a first payment to him, He agreed but then there was some guy from Poland that wanted to buy the car for more money. Agreed to pay his price and make a first payment. Hadn't heard anything for a couple of days... started tripping out missing the opportunity to buy this car. Then I just received email from seller that I could make first payment and collect the car. Me is happy So soon hopefully I'll be a proud owner of silvia S12 Grand Prix from 1986. And the best part is that in Holland cars till the end off 1986 will have no road tax So plans are - coilovers (saw some BCracing) - polybush the S12 - brake upgrade - maybe other rims (like 10J rear) - rollcage ow and a guy I know at the dutch nissanclub suggested to make the FJ20 FJ20E+T. Wouldn't say no against that Plans? Scare the living sh** out of those beemers on the Nordschleife Some pics of the car           Hopefully collecting the car this weekend, but it may also be later.

Early rise, at 8 in the morning I was at my mate's place to collect my S12 Grand Prix in Stützengrün (Germany) About 700kmh's from my place. Stützengrün  Tom Tom said it would take about 9hours drive with speed limitation of 90kmh  Crossed through the whole of Germany with Patrol and trailer     At certain point even dumb dumb (tom tom) lost track   After some hours we came in the direction off Dresden. The road kept getting smaller, but the Nissan Patrol was still going strong  In the end, after alot of time, random shit chat, shitty coffee and strong diesel we arrived in the small town. Look around and there the S12 stood  Instand "crush" again  Took a quick peak below the car and the seller came with a half liter of beer. Started the S12 GP for a moment to see how it runs, testdrive was a problem because of the snow. Lots of it. Snow and RWD is fun, but not for testride. Looked in and underneath the car, the previous owner had put new pistons and camshafts in it, according to the seller. So that will be checked.  Car stood still for more then 10 years (suspended) Car on trailer and then we went into their shed with some typical stuff. Beer, naked posters of ladys, frozen beer and torched beer to unfreeze it. We also did one beer there and then went home for a long way back.     It had became dark, and after the usefull pitstops, we arrived home. Parked the car, did some S12 test driving and went home with the mazda 323 (my other car).   I was in bed at 4 and was totally broken.

Today I stood up early, fixed myself a garage for the S12 and went to see the S12 in daylight Bad points - paint especially on the fiberglass widefenders - Ashtray missing, and the foglights front - absorber right rear is leaking, needs replacement - exhaust system is leaking near the hand brake cable - blower only works on 4, so the blower resistence? needs replacement or solder Good points - tires with enough rubber - almost no rust underneath - as we could tell its well maintaned - oil is good - disks and pads are in very good nick - radiator looks new pics Interior         Exterior            In the garage

Now that looks awsome!
How many gp models were made? Limited edition? Do they come in right hand drive aswell? How rare a find are they? I love it mate. Great find! I guess its a desirable classic of the future and the price can only go up? What did you pay for it if you don't mind?
