what did you do to your s12 today?!

any sensors associated with that area that need to see the coolant? Also might be concerned about affecting flow and getting hot spot in front part of the block

Swapped the motor.from.the blue car to the red car....

Just put on the window swtch and interior for handle I got from colonel gustard
And picked up my rear shocks gonna Order my fronts tonight

New master cylinder (ebay $49 shipped), bled system, cleaned and re-painted area damaged by fluid leak.

Tried on some 17x8/17x9 buddyclub p1's:


Photos are hotlinked from Facebook, let me know if you can't see them.

Rear tyres are a bit big, but I'd have to run about that size for them to be road legal.

threw some dirty socks on her...

dirty socks?

I drove mine and shook a stick at the busted one

Put in the nrg quick release

surprisingly those P1's look great! I woulda never thought..

I looked at it for the first time in 5 months!

Fuck that snow man

turbo-s12 on 12:35:14 AM / 28-Apr-13dirty socks?

o lol

ordered front valance and both fenders... NOS just emptied my pocket...

So I finally got around to putting my motor back in after the rebuild.  So it is forged ca18det internals into a ca18et with a ca20 intake mani. So now I have to make all my wiring connections to the all new injectors and wiring, and then make the new intercooler plumbing and routing of all the vac lines. haha what a mess right now. But I love it, hope to get a bigger turbo after I recoup some funds and go for a bit more than the 180rwhp that it was at before.

Test fitted some wheels I picked up this weekend,.. unfortunately they don't fit. So I either need coilovers or spacers and fender flares to make them work (and look decent)

they are Kosei K1's. they are 16x8.5 +27. the actual rim hits the strut. I'm not going to spend a bunch of money to try and make them fit so on craigslist they will go

Ahh I see.  They are identical to Buddyclub P1's.  It's a shame.  If they were 5 stud that size would be perfect for my S12.  That, and if they were in New Zealand.  Good luck with sale on 'em!

Just a bit more work done to the new intercooler piping.

A sweet victory lap on a beautiful day!  Found a vacuum leak and probably a loose connection at the temp sensor that had been driving me nuts for a week.

Jeremy on 01:33:40 AM / 09-May-13Just a bit more work done to the new intercooler piping.

Finished adapting the S14 handbrake lever and lines into the S12.  Pulled the fuel pump cradle out so I can install my s14 fuel pump.

Didn't know s14 handbrake cables worked

Threw in a new starter, changed the oil and got it running for the first time.

Idles great after a few runs around the block holds decent oil pressure but is slow as hell and stops reving at 4.5k

yeah thats the ca20 for you slow as hell but hard to kill lol

ur intake side coil might be dead. swap your coils for each other

drove her 240 miles and the vg still kickin. added oil today too lol

maybe. try it out

Well its official, my 200 runs after nearly a six month rebuild.  It sounds nice and healthy with ca18det forged internals in the old ca18et.  Still breaker her in proper like but here is a short video confirming life. haha

Nice! Sounds nice and healthy! Good.job

Buffed it came out pretty nice considering its 27 yr old paint

replaced my fuel filter..trying to figure out why the engine stailes and comes right back on

mounted my fuel cell and external pump. i was able to reuse the old fuel lines so was pretty happy not having to run new hard lines

redrilled the gtr rear rotor and now have gtr rear brakes on my s12.

Replaced #3 fuel injector plug. Was getting bad miss on acceleration. Now back to that wonderful smooth CA power!

Couldnt seem to bleed my brakes rights then relized i had the calipers on the wrong side and the bleeder was on the bottom

swapped over to s12 front suspension (s12 lca, tension rod and tie rod, s13 ball joint, spindle, hub, and brake assembly. and isis coilovers.)
 broke both bleeder valves so i have to find new calipers :s

also found out that r31 lca is 10mm shorter than s12. so the hunt begins lol

Tried to repair CA18ET transmission drain plug.  The square became round, drilled a hole for an ez out, then proceeded to cut it out,  It was cut too far and fluid just ran out.

Today I lathered up the plug and transmission threads with black rtv silicone, hoping it won't leak.....

New ball joints yesterday...pain in my fucking ass not doing that again

Catalytic converter was rattling like a sumbitch so I pulled it out and welded in a pipe. No inspections here in FL  :evillaugh:
