Browse › Builds & Media ›Build projects
what did you do to your s12 today?!
Don't hog the S12's! Spread the love!
I aligned my hood today, but I couldn't quite get it as perfect as I'd wanted.
i would but theres no other s12 lovers here :/ so im trying to save em from the scrap even tho one got away :( lol
bought some z32 wheels. got the rears on, they fit okay but will probably run a half inch spacer or so. the fronts need spacers, am looking for shank style lug nuts that will fit so I don't have to buy longer studs.
bought some 9.5mm spacers for my rears......might have to do a little massaging (I dont think so though).....but I think theyll make the rear look sick
Picked up the rb prepping it so I can drop it in next week ordered a mount kit hopefully eveything goes smoothly when I put it in, this is gonna ne one badass s12 by the beginning of the summer :)

What are you doing for studs?
Installed new side mirrors on both sides form manual to power, still need to install the wiring and the switch. Pulled both door panels broke the top of 1 the other top is already cracked. Dug out my spare s14 top mount rear view mirror, and a spare set of s14 sun visors to install later.

Headed out for some work today, idle has been acting up lately and it came to a head today. The 12 died sitting at a light, used starter to get me out of traffic. called roadside assistance and then called my client and canceled the work today.
Started with fuel system; checked all the vacuum lines, changed filter, changed the pump. Still no joy. Checked the electrical connections, and swapped out the distributor with a known good one, bingo!
Took'er out for a drive and all is well...
Item worth noting: The exhaust no longer gargles between shifts, muy bueno.
Ordered my timing components from rawbrokerage today, i put the s13 fronts today riding real good :)
Got it impounded for expired tags. Wewt. It also died on me twice in the middle of the street.
Last night it took me 11 hours to get from Los Angeles (75miles) to my house. Car won't stay on. FML.
lowered my coilover sleeve down 2 inchs
my front end now sits at a normal level and can be slammed

Its cool.
Got it out today. Cost me an arm and a leg, and she was damn hesitant to start back up after they drained the battery (assholes left the lights on and fucked with my buttons :() but she's been pretty reliable today so far. Hope she makes it to the meet tomorrow.

yanked out the fuel pump.....time for some rewiring.....blargh!

Finished up on the boost leak testing and found 4 boost leaks 3 semi bad and one HUGE one, I could pull the intercooler almost out of the coupler.... Now to just adjusting timing and gap my plugs to .40 and the ka-t should be running even stronger. ITS GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER BY THE DAY! Aha

What did you do to test for leaks? You make your own testing rig? This is something I gotta do soon cause I bet I got a leak or 2.

So I only got 4 of the 5 replaced, hoping the ebay seller will come through... super weird though! The knurl wasn't big enough so it just slipped in to the hole.
Semi-finished (with the studs)

nice man. I want a set of front clears.
I need just a driver side mk2 clear. That's the only one that got borked.
I looked at it twice. Maybe I'll fix it tomorrow.
methylprop on 05:00:53 AM / 28-Mar-11nice man. I want a set of front clears.Thanks.
I Think i have a good color for the lip kit. we will see how it turns out. I couldnt sleep so i put in the MK2 tail lights, MK1 bumper reverse lights with MK2 reverse lights=SEX+ forgetting that the MK2 center section does not fit without the MK2 metal section above the bumper=slight silly FAIL. But the MK1 center fits, there is just huge getto gaps on the sides of the top
Getto pics tomorrow
