just out of curiosity, how many s12 owners are on here?

– Evan Tanner, 2007

try to go their site, it gives you some kind of error message like somebody forgot to pay for the domain or something.

I hope they're not having money issues...

which model do you have?

I just got it a few weeks ago and havent even driven it, but im in love with it already.

I dont know if its an mkI or mkII (it has the 6 pack tails) since im new to the s12.

what do you have?

If there's no plan for a S12-specific forum, can we at least get a 200SX picture thread going?

it kinda sounds like you've got a late MKI...I can't remember for sure...think they changed mid '86.

my car is an '85 Turbo model....non running....

yea everything on the 200sx forum that is already up is all about the FWD model 200sx's.

...and if club-s12 is down for more than a short period of time it we be good to be able to get the info on here.

they're great for S12 specific info no doubt...NICO however reigns supreme for engine info...well, unless you're messing with a CA18ET...god rest you.

I need to get mine on the road and start messing with the suspension and brakes while saving more money for the swap when the engine inevitably goes from too much jackassery.

Not all who wander are lost.

Buy my 240SX's

FAQ/Write-up: S13 HVAC/climate control and dash switch light bulb replacement.

if your 240sx has a KA engine you may look into swapping it over and getting better and more reliable power overall versus the ca20e.

check the wheel wells the strut towers and the frame rails for rust. any major areas or spots are NOT worth buying. minor places that you feel you can repair are ok, but if its got deep rust issues walk away.

it's no big thing to use poly bushings from a Z31 on them.

the swap for the front S13 doesn't look to hard...could probably be done in a day...if you've got all the parts right.

does it run and how is the body?

if it's near mint...I'd still offer them 500...and not pay more than 800.

that model should have the R180 rear end though....but you can swap in a Z31 R200 if you want, it'll handle more power and easy to find an LSD for it.

just remember that you're not gonna be able to just look at one of the sponsors and find aftermarket parts for it.

I'm about to buy a fully operational S12 and a trashed GTR R32 but I have a lot of doubts. Thing is I'd rather buy the parts I want from de GTRs for FAR less money than the whole car.

For example, the full engine (RB26DETT) + gear box + differential + ecu is half the price of the whole car

What should I buy in order to do a swap in to the s12??

I'm also interested in the suspenssion and brakes or is there a better swap for this?

Is there any aftermarket for the s12?

Thanks for the help

http://www.club-s12.org.

it's THE place for S12 info.

there's a few guys with RB's in their cars already...

And just to get this out of the way - IMO, engine (except VG30E) and electrically, the S12 is probably the worst car Nissan has ever made.

Suspension isn't too hard to figure out, though, if you're willing to do some research and build something unique. Definitley something you can't rely on bolt-ons with.

i agree with iggy!

S12 FTW!!

Was just thinking about this kind of thing should be on here.
(yea I know this post is years old but thats what you get when you search first! )

Wow I didn't realize the rest of the world knew the S12 existed, lol. Yeah Club S-12 is pretty much where its at for S12s. S12 owners are a small community but I can definetly tell we are growing. Soon it might actually get big enough to support more than one forum so one on here might not be a bad idea.

or scour junkyards for one that still has the front spindles and shock towers and a rear subframe.
