A Shiro Special:
So there you have it...as you can see, as I pictured, those are the problems with the body. It needs a little interior work, but other than that, it's sweet. I'm heading outside despite the rain and cold to clean it up a bit.

You can see in the first pic the security system, now disconncted. After setting it off at a gas station and fiddling with everyting for about 10 minutes while everyone was staring was ridulous. So that's no more...
Rear Hatch where I crammed myself to take some dash shots

Yeah and except for the "Turbo" printed on the plenum and the red valve covers, the engine bay looks pretty familiar, too. Looks like everything is pretty much in the same place.

thanks guys.
Yeah, the engine is pretty much the same. Battery and air intake path is different, but I felt right at home icon_smile.gif 5
As far as plans, I want to restore it to as original as I can get it. After that I might do some upgrades. I already have my K&N filter in the mail, HKS catback intalled. Next thing is the MBC. \
The interior is pretty cool, and logically laid out. Nothing weird to have to get used to. Nissan did it right again in my mind.

lol, ya I would have never guess'd that. How much of a difference is there between the S12 and Z31? handling and all? Oh and I was going to post this on the Z31 board but just never got around to it but... I think the entire front suspension of an S13 might just swap in? And unlike w/ the S12 this looks like it could be down w/o coilovers. You'd have to redrill the upper strut-mount mounting holes though. Its just an idea.
