JZ S12 BUILD, RIP 2012

so, heres the caravan, first time towing my s12 with my truck and not my moms. i was worried about all the rust, but it held up fine.

i was outside auto expectations and i noticed a half ass roll bar/harness bar for a s13 coupe that was never finished or used, asked about it, need a bar that gioes across, some more hammering, etc.

it actually fits perfectly tensioned in if i take a rachet strap and pull the two tubs together in the front, allows clearence. then when i take the strap off its locked in. its not getting welded in until i get more money and tubing for the harness. just a temp harness bar before i get cash for a cage

Wow so that is a s13 cage?

OMG, love the lawn mower totally your back up drift car right

my diff exploded at the 1/8 mile!
ran a 8.52 today
ripped the welds off, and now have diff soup

i brought my s110 diff up there and tried to put it on,

two things i noticed. it bolts up. axles fit in it, but, the piece that the driveshaft connects too is too short....

BUT, instead of swapping my s12 one onto the s110 one.. im gonna try a whole s13 driveshaft, ill update this later

When you welded your diff did you add plates or just weld the joints

brewster240please read what you write before you click the post button.

cleaned up some of the rats nest, still looks kinda bad but you wont notice once the dash is in, its actually very simplized. hooked up some of my gauges, most important, aem afr. w/e it looks good enough for me. some day off im gonna paint the floor too.

its very cool knowing which wires are which since technically my stock chassis harness is gone.

that gauge cluster is win.  true drift status.  If my stock gauges didnt work i'd be doing something like that.  they wont die though

peep these

local driver Josh Guild's S14. hot car

yea its made from cardboard tape and zip ties lololoLOL

brembo rotors, cheap duralast pads for now, s110 calipers in (i really missed having disk brakes!!) diff is in, fluid in. gotta make a new bracket for my e brake cable (more info on that later)

bolting the 4 point in now, sourcing pipe, getting it all welded and my harness in for the ods event

missing a caliper banjo bolt. ugh. and i need a hand to bleed the brakes.

OMG MASSIVE SPACERZ

those arent spacers...those are tanks you have attached to your rotors!

tanks that make steelies flush!

harness bar in

You murdered the fenders

I like it. They might slice some competitors tires during tandem if you're close enough.

I personally dont think it looks bad, but thats just my opinion. As fas as styling goes, David is the first person to try it on a s12 (that i know of). Maybe after a few tweaks its will be a world wide s12 FAD

GO DAVID!

lol, i do what i want. ill hit em with a dolley later some day and straighten them better,

no camber sucks.. i dont have any "tuck"

that s12 is hawt son.

i love breakin shit!! this is awesome, my diff assploded, i got positive camber on my front right tire, my turbo gasket went, my downpipe gasket went, all this first month of hard driving at the 1/8 mile and drifting.

it felt good to work on my car and replace my turbo gasket

poop. it takes about an 40 min to remove my turbo assembly

wobble extensions = win. i can now get to all my manifold nuts with rachet/socket

Hey David good idea with the oem gaskets i went threw two sets of after market ones myself. Best thing i ever did was fork out the money for a s15 7 layer oem mani gasket and oem turbo gasket. Shittiest thing ever is the first tinme it happens most people think there turbo blew  

Dont know about on the s12's but on my s14 i have to take off my dump pipe to take out my turbo out  so to make it easier i purchased some Allen head bolts for the dump pipe makes it a world easier!

tighten the fuck out of those turbo nuts, then tack weld them.

brewster240tighten the fuck out of those turbo nuts, then tack weld them.

sickkkkk

David B

thats what im doin. should i use washerS?

Why not just use some of those all metal pinch nuts? Like the oem header nuts.

NissanNateWhy not just use some of those all metal pinch nuts? Like the oem header nuts.

and the stock ones dont work.

thats why pretty much every sr that comes over has a blown turbo gasket, or on its way out.

I've never had any problems with my gaskets...
They're the hella cheap ones too.
I donno what you guys are doing wrong.

driving like men.
