Im a noob, and I was wondering if anyone around here messes with the old school s12 200sx's (84-88). I am trying to build a drift car, and I need any advice you guys might have. Right now, the car is gutted, all the seams have been welded, and the feet have been welded in for the roll cage. I really need to know if anyone has put (or heard of putting) s13 suspension under it. Cool . . . let me know

ive been thinking about building a drift car out of an S12, one of my buddies said he'd sell me his for $500 and its in decent shape. Let me know how it turns out.

Are you serious? From a dig? For money? Oh my god. :lmfao:

And your friend has a ca18 in a 240 im assuming so he'd have a ca18DET out of the 88- early 90 180SX/Silvia.

The ca18Et single cam turbo out of the s12 sucks more balls than the dual cam.

if he has a CA18ET in anything other than an S12 the he's wasted far too much time.

most of the s12 guys seem to believe that the s13 suspension will bolt on, so they say. good luck with that.

ha ha . . thats exactly what everyone's been saying. Here's the story. Im a dsm guy, and thought it would be cool to go to the formula d event @ Road Atlanta last May. Anyway, to make a long story short I got totally infected with the whole thing, and 2 weeks later, got this car on ebay for $102.50. It was meant to be just a starter drift car, but over the last couple of months, Ive kind of grown attached to the ugly little thing. I know the motor will fit with some work. I know the front suspension will fit with some work. I think the s13 rear suspension will fit with a whole lotta work. I guess we'll see. . . . anyway, at least its keeping me outta the bars for a little while.

what the fuck? heres the thing we all know half baked is a jackass, in fact most of the time hes probably just fucking around. your jumping in his shit doesnt help the situation either. personally id like to see an rb20 in a s12, the ca or sr is such an obvious choice.

rb20 in an s12 is like a $350 investment. Somebody do it locally, please, and take it to a drift event. And take out signs with it.

were you not there when the hachi-broku nailed another one during the competition part? i still think the supra guy should have gotten the jackass award, but they gave it to the hachi guy since he was actually drifting most of the day, not autocrossing the front tires off the car.

Yeah I saw the red corolla do that. Actually I was walking back from KFC and saw a group of people runningaway from the parking lot. Then i saw the sign on the ground and put 2 and 2 together. :D

You drive a semi flat black s13 hatch with a front end that doesn't line up worth a damn with fenders that are an inch wider then your door with a motor that came out in the early 80s.

I will gladly walk all over your ass just to show you how shitty an rb20 really is. You have a modded one, I have a stock sr with exhaust!

Like I said, just cause it's old doesn't mean it's a piece of shit. Hell, the SR should be hitting the 15 year mark in 06, and it's still t3h supAr JDM-y0 thing to do.

Nissan motors were at their pinnacle at the end of the 80's/beginning of the 90's. If the RB block was unsuccessful, do you REALLY think they would've put it into their flagship performance car? Sure, they RB20 wasn't in the GT-R, but it damn sure paved the way for the RB26 that came later and owned the All-Japan Touring Circuit.

correction...

I drive a flat black s13 hatch with a front end that lines up pretty well in my opinion considering it is from a skyline, not a 240. I have fenders that are an inch wider because I don't have the money to wide body the rear yet since all of us aren't spoiled little bitches these days, and a motor that came out of a 1991 skyline gts-t. I never said I had some great GT-R motor, but rather just a simple, plain-ol, rb20. So you're right, what's to be afraid of?

Honestly... I know what the outcome would be if we raced. I don't have to prove anything to you lol. If you really want me to beat you though, put your money where your mouth is.

Ok, cya friday night then.

Hey jackass catch on.

180SX = Ca18de(t) switched to Sr in mid 90 because of production issues.
240SX=Ka24(d)e 91 up dual cam
Silvia=ca18de(t) and sr20de(t) changed in 90 also.

The ca18et and ca20e are both in america in the mid 80s 200sx. Both are garbage.
