Ive noticed the aussie S12 owners have started a little something to try and work out where they are all from and for them to all say hi so i though id start something for us kiwi's
Im Dave and I live in Auckland, at the mo im S12less but I am on the look out for another S12 and hope to buy one very soon
Damn you kiwi's with your piss cheap imports :hit: lol
I suppose NZ has more fj20et S12 RS-X's than anywhere else.
If i were you i'd be picking up one of those, there's a fully mod'd one in NZ running 10.7sec 1/4 mile times. Even with the IRS.

HI
Im in Christchurch and have a Stock Standard S12 with ca18e, and if i have my way a few mods sooner or later. Brought the car for my girlfriend, but i drive it a fair bit. Was only 250bucks. Recently found a ca18et s12 at the wreckers so will be grabbing a few bits of it. Biggest request is powersteering. Anyway ive seen quite a few around chch, at least 3 fj20 ones .
Logan
go the FJ!!! :)
aw did i say that out loud?
hey dave, your right there is a few more of us around.
i have a hatchback FJ20et gazelle and live in Pukekohe.
hey all,
Im in Auckland with my tempramental CA18ET
On trademe theres a S12 CA18ET but its in Kerikeri
I'm in Christchurch and have an 83 S12 RS-X hatch.
Almost as it left the factory but some emissions gear has been removed.
Have owned it for almost 10 years and is not my daily driver any more as it just doesn't seem right to dribble round the city in it.
Only major problem I've had was the head cracked and I had to find another.......
Still love it to bits (apart from nasty 2nd syncro - but I think the early jap owners screwed that on all of them....)
Cheers
Jon
Im in Dunedin and my daily driver is a 84 RS-X Hatch, Had it for 3 years now and like Jon the only problem has been a cracked head.
Did hear of another in Balclutha and although I've never seen it, Im told there is another in Dunedin
What is it with the South Island and cracked heads (cylinder heads i mean!).
Must be all that cold weather ;)
yea could be the cold, but dont ya wish you could go for a spin in the snow. :laugh:
Well I am now the proud ower of a White 87 lift back with a some what dieing CA18ET in it..... set me back a whole $350 and then another $200 to get it to Auckland the car itself is in good shape and dont go to badly considering the poked turbo..... Ive got a CA18DET sitting in the garage ready to swap into her and then it should make for some fun times
Who else around here would be keen on joining some sort of NZ based S12 mailing list??? would be a good way to keep in touch and stuff like that
hey nudel, have you got over my driving yet?
i'll have to find my pliers to get your finger nails out of my dashboard!
just kidding...
lol lets just say 180 comes up a whole lot quicker then i though it would of
howdy,
Im adam, me and my crew of s12s reside in Wellington
RSX goes in for dyno/tuning on Friday, woohoo!
oh and, go the FJ! :)
HI I am all for joining the NZ S12 mailing list
I have now got 2 s12
1984 ca20 Hatch (I drive it every were)
1985 ca18 Hatch R-X (needs work) :roll:
we do need a mailing list or something would be nice to keep in touch with everyone and shair ideas and stuff
on and the S12 is now sporting a CA18DET between the front wheels.... just needs to be wired up *glances VEGIE's way* and a few things like a bigger fuel pump and a intercooler and she should be running :)
right guys since i have such a busy day at work today lol i started up a yahoo group so us NZers can keep in touch easyer the address is http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/s12nz/ so go along and join up should make things super easy to share ideas, plans and ask for advice
come on guys join the mailing list and lets get things rolling
Im in Christchurch also with an '84 turbo R-X in two tone blue and white formerly from Arrowtown I think. Deregistered at the moment sadly but I paid $500 for it and the turbo which had blown its seal has been rebuilt (props to One Stop Turbo Shop!!)... More work still to be done though...... I've seen only one other turbo RS-X (FJ20) but there are a few N/A models around. I think an NZ mailing list is a damn good idea especially for keeping up with tech issues and available parts etc.
:guitar:
well dude join the mailing list and get anyone else ya know whos got a S12 to join and say hi
