My '86 notch build

DELETE

What kind of bucket seat is that?

anyway NICE S12

i got t for free from one of the techs out here at nissan im not sure of the make. but its actually a passenger seat but it reclines and sldes perfect. i like the lever by the center console actually. lol. my stock seat had a gangster lean too it so i put this one in.

that flat paint looks good. one of the better jobs ive seen. thats out of a can right? needs a drop!!!!soon.

silvia lovethat flat paint looks good. one of the better jobs ive seen. thats out of a can right? needs a drop!!!!soon.

sweet looking good the flat black doesn't look bad at all I never really liked the sky blue but meh it's my opinion keep it coming where you gettin you 18et swap from?

from a local guy of mine that swapped in a s14 sr20det in his s12. older guy. he said hell sell me the whole setup for 250 so. i cant pass that up. im gonna build the motor before the swap go through it all. get the block hot tanked and re-honed and resealed up. as for the head port work and valve job. etc. there is a pretty decent machine shop here where i work in signal hill. that did my buddys ka24det block and head. one benifit will be me working at nissan. all the seals i need will be ordered as for gaskets im going cometic metal gaskets but the rest will be oem nissan

u know after i sprayed it black i was thinkin when the time comes for paint i might have it proffesionaly sprayed satin black like the tahoe from rob and big.

Thank you for the measurement of the decal.  I have got to get the 200sx decal for my notch.  Did you find those somewhere or was that the original.  I know the Silvia one is from this club isn't it?  GREAT CAR!

i love the flat black look

good looking notch...god it makes me want to buy a notch my self... oh and i fot th same wheels, except mines are purple

nice looking notch..

Dammit, I was gonna flat black mine cause my paint sucks balls... Ours would pretty much look the same since I have the turbo hood, turbo lip kit, turbo wheels and Enkie 92s..

What hood emblem do you have on your s12?

Draconis What hood emblem do you have on your s12?

I was thinking that... like the Queens.

IMO id leave it flat black. its so hot

or get it painted the OEM copper color

hood badge is a s14 red s badge. thanks for the comments guys appreciate it. im most likey shooting for 180-200whp thats all i guess. i just want a fuin boosted daily driver and something i can run up at the canyons with.

yeah 200hp will be real simple to get out of the car let me know if you need any help via the forums or pm's I'll be more than willing to help out as much as I can

CA18ET or DET?

CA18ET can be taken to 200hp... Bart did more than that. Intercooler, T25, Jim Wolfe Tech. makes a 420cc injector for the VG30e that can be adapted to your stock fuel rail, SR20 or KA24DE MAF, Apex'i Super-AFC, manual boost controller, 255lph Walbro fuel pump, Aeromotive or NISMO adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

That will take you to 250-275hp, but you pretty much need that to get to 200, too. Some people might say you can do it with just a boost controller or a couple other things, but it's not safe and you run the risk of blowing the engine up, regardless of other people's unique experiences.

WHOO!  KEEP THE NOTCHS ALIVE!  Everyone seems to like the hatch more...but this is a beautiful example.  Wheres Gardena anyway?  

GARDENA is by carson ca north of long beach but south of south l.a.. if that helps lol thanks for the links arro can yer the motor is going to be a ca18et. ill get on those pictures right away sir. lol sidewayss12 thanks for your help also.

not a problem

Great looking notch!  Even for hatch-heads like me that is great-looking.  Good job on the rattle-can, it's enough to make me believe I can cover up the sunburn on my roof and hood without a full respray...maybe not, we'll see.  But I do agree that, until you can and want to afford a really great paintjob, your current flat coat is just fine.  It's much better than a lot of S12's out there (like mine) still suffering with their original paint.

Overall a very nice-looking car.
