Post by **TurboLover333** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

Ok... Ive just seen a model kit from Australia of a Nissan Silvia S12. Anyone heard of this thing. It was kinda interesting looking.

Post by **Onizuka** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

yup, sold as the 200sx in america in the early to mid 80s. Not the same as the FWD 200sx sold in the late 80's early 90's

RWD huh. What kind of power plant did it have. Might be a fun project.....

Post by **Onizuka** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

There is the S110 that was released in the U.S. as the 200sx also. The FWD 200sx was built from 95-98. The s12 is a nice little car and I would like to have one.

looks good, if they are cheap i dont see why not, better than steelies to say the least.

Not bad.

I really want an S12. I just wonder why they never caught on like the AE86 did. I mean they are comparable cars and you can get them for a lot cheaper than an AE. I am surprised there isnt a big craze for them for drifting and such. When I got bored of the S110 I am planning to pick one up.

When you get bored of that s110 let me know. :batman

Post by **Onizuka** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

you got any pics of your s110?

Post by **McAdam** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

speaking of S110's check this one out. Bad *** 200sx just thought the S110 needed some representation! lol

yeah i saw that on ebay already, hot sexy.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

Indeed I saw it while loking for a turbo s12. Damn s110 and them being bastards to find, but one with an fj20e is just freaking amazing.

Maybe it was the ca20 motor with 8 spark plugs and the EGR loft at 3K RPM to help with emissions, but if you were to swap out to a CA18DET or Sr then that would be a different story, iuseto own a 87 200sx. and boy was I proud of it while I was smoking second gen Integras.

get a turbo model cause they have the independent rear suspension. then hunt down an FJ20DET or ET dont remember if they used the D. build that mofo up to 400-500hp and tear *** down the streets.

Post by **Onizuka** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

its the FJ20ET, they are sill DOHC though.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

Damn man I wish they had more pictures of that 82 model. Also 6cylinder? I don't remember all the engin options for the s110 but was there a 6cyl? I know there were a few rotaries.

Post by **Megaseth** » Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:14 pm

Rotaries? i dont know about that. i dont think nissan ever used a rotary engine. i think they came with the CA18ET, CA18E, CA20E, and VG30E. dont know if thats all.

There was apic of an S12 with an FJ20 in it back a while ago. mean looking car.

Can anybody confirm whether or not nissan used a rotary? maybe a pic or something?

Wisdom has a US-spec S12 (200sx) with a turbo ca. He's working on a RB setup right now. shift240.com has some info.
