Feck Feck Feck!!!!!!
Blew the turbo today, so not taking it to the show sorry to say can't believe my luck.
Will see how bad it is when i get to bits next week.
Should still be coming though but in the primera, not an s12 though.

NOOOOOOOO. I hope some how it is repairable.

I think every S12 that is going to JAE has problems and needs work. I swear that they are cursed.

fingers crossed, mines ok apart from the back arch

, fitted some 235/45/17's on the rear today, i only need 2 front tyers and its through the test

i'am putting 225/45/17's on the front,they will fit,but i needed a little bit of moddin on the struts.

Its the shaft on the turbo and the exhaust wheel has snapped of turned into the casing, aswell as that the exhaust housing is fecked again, probs due the the death i hav been giving it , i have been working my dosh out and i honestly think this may be the end of an era for me and the s12 i am afraid to say, but the good thing is that many many owners will benefit from the bit i will have to sell to fund the next project.

I have enjoyed over ten years with the two i have had on the road not to mention the five i have had for bits at one time or another s12 and it breaks my heart to admit it but as most things they dont go on for ever.
Things i will be selling will be drilled and grooved disks all round , four calipers that have done less than 6 thousand miles two good handbrake cables same mileage,less than a year old rad with a 302 core in it.
its also got an electric sunroof that i paid 300 qiud for ,Full stainless exhaust to go with the front pipe and TOP MOUNT MANIFOLD.Digital boost controller.

I will put details up next week when i hopefully come out of my depression stage that i am in at the moment.

The shell will go seperatley unless someone wants to bid me for the whole car as is ( without a few bit and bobs)

sorry to here it ken, you should probley put your engine in an old 510 or something like, i've been looking at one.

s13eater · #9 09-07-2006, 17:03

how much for the manifold and exhaust mate.

DriftNinja · #10 09-07-2006, 18:04

Im interested in the digital boost controller. shame to see the car going. =(
If you come to break the shell up i could do with a os front wing.
Any idea what car you would get next?
