Shift_love Dd/drift Car Project
i am loving the S12!
i dont prefer the S13 wing though
other then that god dambn you make a swap look easy
David Byea my main problem was the wiring, that took a week to sort out, however the aluminum s13 radiator was as easy as drilling new holes and fabbing brackets...and whats wrong with the s13's wing...its a r32 gtr wing...i think it is quite swell lol...carbon kevlar hood and trunk ftw

i think he meant the airfoil on the trunk of the s14.
everything on the s12 looks pretty good, might want to reroute the cold side piping so you eliminate that hard bend just before the throttle body.

eh, im not of fan of wings like that, yet alone a fan of wings regardless, sorry lol.
i like wings that mold to the car you know? that almost look stock
but yea dude keep up the work on this swap looks amazing
David Bohhh...thats the s14 though...you said s13...the s13 is the white one...as for the cold side pipe i cant do anything about it cause the way it comes in would have to change dramatically...and its not hurting anything the way it is right now...i guess turbulence, but really how smooth can you get 10psi through 2.5inch piping lol
eh, im not of fan of wings like that, yet alone a fan of wings regardless, sorry lol.

oh lol, sorry i got mixed, i happen to do that alot
David BTHIS is my s14 tein suspension, kaaz 2 way lsd, sr20det redtop 480cc spec-r injectors, gt28r, tt300zx fuel pump, nismo seats, au 4 point sa-belts, battle version upper arms, bunch of shit
oh lol, sorry i got mixed, i happen to do that alot

3 battle scars ftw
anyone picking up on my massive love for s-chassis cars...with the 3 generations that i have lol???
Nice fenders hehe
new update...i cannot seem t understand why my car is hitting fuel cut at full boost at like 35-4200 rpms...it just cuts all power completely and then i shift...i have no vaccum leaks in my ic piping, and im running pretty much stock fuel, with a gt28 turbo, s14 sr20 fuel pump, and 12 psi...i am however using the ca18et maf because my det maf was no good??? could it be timing???
The maf is ur problem IMO. Gotta be ca18det or tune for a diff maf. If you absolutely can't use a ca18det maf then the KA maf is a better substitute. Voltage curve is close. Sr maf is also close. Ca18et is prob not as close. Search it on NICO.
IggyEGuanathanx sir...ill rob yet another part off of my s14 to make my s12 run better...since there really isnt any events for me to drive the s14 in coming up...

Be careful with the KA maf. It will run VERY LEAN at high rpms.
mod_mastazNOPE...info to the left under my avatar...sr20det...but i talked to my shop foreman today and he said try pinching the vacuum line on my fpr and it'll keep all fuel in the rail, the only thing is that it has only started doing this since i switched to a useddd sr20det fuel pump...it didnt do it with the ca18et pump so i dunno...im gonna try everything, and if i fail, its the pump...but hey i only spent $11 on it, thanx to my buddies at jhot

SUPER BIG MASSIVE PARTS CONTENT UPDATE...(i dont know how to make the pictures go straight down in a row, so get ready to use that scroll bar!!!)i have received some amazing s12 parts that will add to my jdm flavor, and make me signature even more true to life, i bitched and bitched to my friends at jhot to find me a jdm s12 and they finally did, and look what i got,
super duper rare emblem, that now keith and i have, and the hood emblem, 
super cool silvia floormats...that as far as i know, only i have in the united states, 
super cool se valances/bumper add ons...sitting on top of some 2 piece 16x8 yokohama advan adobans,
never before seen (by me atleast) s12 silvia metal rain guards with trade mark lightning bolt "S" on them 

mk1 clear marker lights
s12 grille emblem chillin with some wood ducks,
...also im in the process of modifying an altima se-r bumper to fit the s12's boxy look...i cut the top off, cut it in half, and now im fiberglassing the shit out of it, its a long long process but it looks square enough to work 
tomorrow i should have a decent test fit picture to show you how well this bumper lines up with the rest of the s12's wedge like shape, oh and today was also exciting because i saw my first r35 gtr in person...the s12 looked like a grampa in front of it, but funny enough it was the same color as my s12's original factory color (which i hate, and which ill be trading for black with metal flake soon) 
, oh and if anyone needs any mk2 jdm clear markers, or a mk2 jdm bumper and a mk2 se front lip let me know cause ive got them in my garage, ill post pics of those later in the for sale section
nice progress! and i emailed jhot if theyre getting any more jdm s12's but no response yet
nice collection of parts also...im so jealous! lol
EDIT: also on ur visors. is that made for the s12? ive been trying to find pix of visors on a s12
asshole
i hate you sooooooo much
jk THAT SHIT IS AWESOME!
Bummer the mudflaps say Nissan. I've seen mudflaps that say Silvia on them but I think they were the smaller MK1 "turbo" flaps.
never seen those A pillar visor/rain sheilds before
That is indeed the S12 generation Silvia "lightning bolt" S
Genuine Nissan accessory?
IggyEGuanayea!!! its got the nissan stamp on the back of it, im really jealous of my own stuff too...i just gotta get my car done and get pictures of it to be the new keith lol j/k it would make me sad, but make me happy if all of a sudden everyone got lots of jdm s12 stuff, because it just took me the past year to get it located, and i had to do 99% of the leg work, jhot just had to call me and tell me what just rolled into their yard, and i had to tell them what was worth a damn
asshole
