Well.... I have no pics of my S12 at this moment, so these'll have to do. These are pics of my '90 240 with an R32 Skyline GTS-t front end conversion. Dubbed affectionately "SkyEighty". Had a turbo KA24E, decent... but I gave up on it... it was WAAAAAY too expensive to get this to work right so I ditched the project along with all my parts I COULD be using now :wall: SkyEighty Pic#1[/a]

Crap... it didn't work. This is the thread, somehow the pictures got on a Honda forum... I dunno how. If you look up Sky Eighty on a search forum you'll probably find pics of my car on a million sites, red and blue.

NeedCAforS13Jan 11, 2006, 7:58 am · #411

not my s12, but my s13 just got a nice facelift yesterday... waiting on the lip for paint.

Got a kouki 180sx bumper used from my friend in kinda rough condition but with the lights for $250! Had to pay $100 for the damn little side pieces though. I also ordered the OEM lip, so that'll be here soon (hopefully...) ;)

Wow, looks nice... Everyone is getting in to the whole 180sx Type-X look now a days...

My brother got rid of his Type-X 4 1/2 years ago... I still like the type-x though. :hitit:

1 sweet pics, again.
2 you need me to pressure wash your driveway.
3 how much extra oil does it take with the cooler?

haha thanks. we actually pressure washed it about a year ago... being under the trees and in florida I guess it just molds up quickly. It takes about half to 3/4 of a quart extra at first, but during oil changes it stays the same. Because I don't empty out the cooler when I change the oil.

TreyzJan 11, 2006, 3:56 pm · #416

BASTARD! ... you got my bumper lol

Did you need a JDM support for the OEM bumper to fit or direct bolt on?

Also where did you order the OEM lip from? Last time I found it was from [url]www.phase2motortrend.com[/a] for $399.00

But looking real good. My ride is posted in the previous page. Whent from KAE to DE and plan on adding a -T in the future.

no bumper support on my car. but yes you need the JDM one if you want to keep it. my intercooler kinda gets in the way of the support, but the bumper didn't fit on the USDM bumper support.

OEM lip is from phase 2. Yes its still $400 :( but it makes or breaks the kouki front end in my opinion...

SR20DET_S12Jan 11, 2006, 4:43 pm · #421

it was a pain in the ass. i have like 100 hours easily into that swap. and it isnt the best handling car, could be because it has the stock coupe front springs that are only meant to hold up the ca20e lol, but i tell you what it moves! once i get some power steering it will be a fun little car, the only problem is that for somereason it doesnt like to get traction at all lol.

JulieJan 11, 2006, 10:11 pm · #422

man.... that s13 sits pretty. nice work. should shave the front licence plate mount off too. would smooth out the nose.diggin the black intercoolertoo. its stealth. does painting it have any affect on its preformance?

erik_200sxdriftJan 11, 2006, 11:01 pm · #423

nice man,
type x is the bestg for s13, nice and sleek
what type of sideskirts are those?

That could be coz ur weight is all at the front... and i dont think ur running particularly fat tyres... VG's have alot more torque than a CA... and well... u need grip to make it stick.
I'd be worried about the tramline effect, steering would not be the greatest.

SR20DET_S12Jan 12, 2006, 12:10 am · #426

yeah ur right im only runnin 16x7 in the back and i dont know what the tire size is but its not very much more than the size of the rim, and yeah it does have a lot more weight over the front end now, and like i said i havnt put hevier springs on it yet.

SmashedGlassJan 12, 2006, 2:06 pm · #427

wait till my other 84hatch is ready, should be finished in about two weeks. i've changed it from a ca20 to a ca18det that has a bit done to it.

.... air con that works, a t04e turbo on a polished stainless top mount manifold, 40mm external wastegate with 8.7psi spring...

What's the lag like with the t04e? Would like to know since there are more manifolds (like TOP mount) available for t3/4 than t25/28 on the CA out there....

sean,

haha I think the s13 is easier to control, but the s12 is MORE fun to me (I dunno why haha, it just is). I'm doing an s13 front suspension conversion next so that should help with my control problems. The s12 seems to have alot less steering angle than the s13. Therefore it can't get as much angle before full lock and it tends to spin alot because I can't countersteer enough. Other than that I think it starts sliding easier than my s13. I don't even have to clutch kick or e-brake it. Just give it some throttle and the rear end swings out... Its a KA24DE with I/H/E and a welded diff.

edit: one more pic (my favorite one)

Some of us upgrade the Control Arms to S14 Control Arms... it can give you a huge angle in steering... try it out. Randy has them on his car.

NeedCAforS13Jan 23, 2006, 6:08 pm · #439

really? so I should find s14 control arms rather than s13 ones when doing the front conversion in order to get more steering angle? thanks for the tip :)

well, I'm new, but you already knew that. I was going to wait on pics til I had
better ones and some more things done to it, but who really cares. it'll just
make it that much better as you guys see how it progresses.

the rear SSR's are 15x7.5 -5, the fronts will make their way over from the
S13 in the near future and are sized 15x8 +14.

if you folks want more info on what all is done to the car, let me know.
