i like it, not a big fan of that chassis but when done right and simple look really badass. Stay away from useless crap and such as wings n stickers n keep if up mang!

Hoffman5982 05-23-2012 08:14 PM

God these cars have grown on me.

You should run a simple T25 setup with the oem turbo manifold for that oem look you're going for and earn that turbo badge :naughty:

Looks awesome, keep up the good work!

sex14 05-23-2012 08:24 PM

yea thats the winter/spring plan saw the sleeper ka-t pics and fell in love.

NME-S14 05-23-2012 08:32 PM

I see the fortune auto coils in the front but what did you do for the rear?

fliprayzin240sx 05-23-2012 08:39 PM

I would have done a CA18DET swap and keep it fresh.

240zach 05-23-2012 08:50 PM

that last pic looks so good

snofufu 05-23-2012 09:06 PM

looks pretty dope :D

xh3nry 05-23-2012 09:21 PM

Wow that s12 looks sick. Is that hood scope oem?

Johnphen 05-23-2012 09:38 PM

Great job, clean functional and badass to boot.

kei1 05-23-2012 09:45 PM

the rear has fortune auto shocks. i disassembled the rear coils since the rear has more of a 280zx style of suspension where the coil is separated from the coil. ill post pics soon.

OMG your so F&F drinking coronas

PoorMans180SX 05-24-2012 06:58 AM

I like the look of this thread, nice quality pictures too.

You might want to start a new thread in the build section though, mods are going to lock this one up.

Kenzo 05-24-2012 07:23 AM

Super clean for an 84. Damn car is as old as I am and looks less beat up, lol. Great job on the build.

WanganNastyMachine 05-24-2012 08:54 AM

Damn! I really like you S12 man, we need more clean ones around this forum. Keep it up, I'll be keeping an eye on the thread. Good start.

coupesallday! 05-24-2012 09:09 AM

hell yeah shit is clean my bro has the same year. looks good on the longchamps.
oh and it's fj20et :D

"the unwanted s-chassis build"

should be titled "the posted in the wrong section build"


gaddamn i hate these transformer looking cars. at least this one looks nicer than the usual.

still hate these cars though.

David B S12 05-24-2012 09:46 AM

^^^^^^^^^ hater


i think s12's are dope. its good to know that you can easily pick it up, and turn it into a drift car/give it stance/have a good time with it... rwd jap with IRS (except for sra models 84')

goodluck! cant wait to see more pics

ShakotanGazelle 05-24-2012 01:56 PM

Bump for another S12 owner!
Shits looking hot!

elmajul 05-24-2012 04:49 PM

sex14 05-24-2012 05:18 PM

This thread is win. I can not wait to find a deal on an S12, but I have NEVER seen one as clean as yours, good save! Your cars are so simple and clean, and thats how it should be.

sex14 05-26-2012 08:17 PM

thanks bro. id do something more with the exterior but my budget wont allow it lol. so i opt out for the simple look :D.

shinhed 05-27-2012 09:06 PM

Back in the day, I was going to build one of these with a set of white Impul Silhouettes but, never could find a clean enough s12 coupe locally. Anyways, you shit looks awesome.

sex14 06-05-2012 10:50 PM

impuls would be nice :D

drifting1two40 06-06-2012 02:28 PM

240zach 06-08-2012 09:17 PM

sex14 06-16-2012 05:24 PM
