HTH mate

Cheers Ants, I just need to see if the CA18DET head will fit. In any case the idea is to fit an RB25 engine in it over the winter so may just run it for the mo with the single cam head unless I can get a twin cam head on the cheap.

Well yes it is me who is going halves on this project with Nik, :-D

I could not really say no to having a car for half the price of 1 Skyline Tyre!! :lol:

I just hope all checks out OK and we can get this to a decent level ready for a few more trackdays, i love going on th track but just could not justify throwing the Skyline into the armco so now i have no excuses!!

ants13 do you know much about these then mate? I am a complete novice with these but i think ideally in the winter it would be good to plan to put a RB25/26 in it

Does it share the same chassis as a S13?

Thanks.
Roll on Marham!! 8)

Nice one guys. If only I had more driveway I would consider doing that type of thing, but then again, I might just tweek the Gtr when funds allow

TBH mate, i dont know much about s12's but I'm fairly sure they dont have the same chassis, they might share a few components though.

Have a quick look here though, might be of some use http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/forumdisplay.ph ... ysprune=-1

Here is just a quick couple of pictures of the car.

It really does deserve to go to an enthusiast though due to the life the car has had!!

It was bought brand new by a guy at 57 years of age 20 years ago at his local Nissan dealership, he then used it locally and had it serviced at regurlar intervals by the nissan dealership and then his local garage, we have the service book with all the stamps in dating back to 1987 up to the present day!!

The interior of the car is immaculate and will be a shame to just strip it all out but i am sure it may sell on ebay or something.

This is how she ended up by the end of the night though

Cracked radiator after i tested her to a bit of heavy right foot!
