My new little winter project that I just purchased is a Nissan S12 Silvia has come with a few little modifications:

Welded Diff
T28 turbo (from an s14)
Cobra Bucket Seats
FMIC
Lowering Springs
Full Custom Exhaust System

Plan on getting some old skool JDM rims and coilovers on it and slamming it on it's arse!!

But thas after giving it a good tidy up and clean while trying to find some of the original panels for the interior and another spoiler!

Here a couple of pics:

Been Pretty busy on the S12 today had a proper clean up inside the car and managed to fit in the new front seats I picked up a couple of days ago (big thanks to Northerner for them!!).

Also fitted a new steering boss as the old one was damaged and also fitted a new K&N induction kit as the old one was very dirty!!

While I was cleaning the engine up also removed the crappy baileys dump valve.

Here a few pictures of how it looks now:

Had a busy day recently working on a couple of cars the first being my S12 obviously gave the old boy a full service new oil and oil filter a new fuel filter and some new plugs also cleaned the distributer as the car was running a little rough but seems to be spot on now!

Also finally got around to completely cleaning up the interior as the back of the car was full up with crap from the previous owner here a couple of pics:

That is pretty much gonna be it now for a couple of weeks as I gotta sort a few problems out on the S14a and get the S12 MOT'd just gotta get 2 new rear tyres for that as far as I'm aware so should be driving it soon!!

Yeah the only reason I really gave the money over was because how the clean the shell was the underneath has less rust and rot than my last 2 200sx's!!!

Will try and get some in car footage of it on boost (and how stupidly laggy the turbo is) soon!!
