Been lurking here for a while, and might as well start showing off...per say.

I bought an 88 S-12 a while ago, and finally got it running right, and now for some fun...and ish. It's currently the daily driver, with a KA swap..the MPG are killing me, so I might do an SR20 later, but first was some wheels, some crappy monroe 300zx shocks, and update the ignition a tad. Full tune-up was done, and I just finished today with a new PVC valve.. hopefully it will run a little better. I'm sourcing together the Megan coilovers set, hope to find some S14 tension brackets soon, and go from there. I want to take this thing to English town next week-end...so I'll be spending all week tossing parts at it. IE...an R-180 with a Nismo 2 way LSD. It's already got a few sets of Watanabe's, and a pair of Work's meshies...so the wheels and tires are pretty much done...I can change the flavor of the car accordingly to the mood I'm in.

now for some pic's...

When I was in Japan, I was walking thru one of the many used parts shops they have like up-garage and sekohan, and I walked up to a box that had a diff in it, and in Japanese it said R-180 Nismo 2way LSD new....$19000 yen. So I bought it and brought it back, installed it on my Z with a clean case and some 4.11 gears from a nissan Pratrol front diff. Sorry, I don't have the numbers or anything, but I do know that it is a discontinued item, and Courtesy Nissan used to sell them for a ton of money.

From when it was originally swapped.

FYI, I had to swap in an Automatic ecu too because I would hit some sort of strange fuel cut at about 4k rpm with the ka24e manual ecu.

Sorry about posting in both your threads on the 2 forums airjockie. I got nostalgic and started to do some investigative work to see what my car was up to.

no action shots yet...just no action....

I'm working more on my house than cars....and thats been happening more and more lately. In fact I'm thinking about just getting rid of some of the cars and a lot of crap that I have for them.

you should put some of your 13inch wats on a lawn tractor with a jdm beerholder.

vip your craftsman.
