s12 drift
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.
ca18Et= worst motor ever made. period.
say that to my friend marat when he waxes you on the track with his ca18
Are you serious? From a dig? For money? Oh my god.Originally Posted by jskylinesx

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.
no, its got the ca20 in it, but that's coming out for the SR20det.
You're putting an sr in an s12? buy an s13 for 300 bucks an save yourself the trouble by dropping it in and wiring it.
good luck finding any decent suspension for the S12 after you blow a grip on the SR swap
Get a new goal.
Your current one sucks.
And all CA's suck and so do RB20s.
And twitches.
right.......
most of the s12 guys seem to believe that the s13 suspension will bolt on, so they say. good luck with that.
"...I'm a thief, I'm a liar, There's my church, I sing in the choir..."
the front kind of will, but not really. the rear, well you're on your own back there.
But why not just buy an s13?
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.
Wooley???
WOOLEY is that you?? take a wild guess who this is (Read the name)
HEY you! the s-12 is the shi*. Know who the he** you talkin bout before you try to crush someones dreams like that why dont you get a new goal or maybe just get a better hobby than your bump a** car because its obviously not satisfying enough and you feel like you need to pick on someone trying to be unique. Don't Be Hatin'
Wow there's a lot of CA hate on this board.
It's not as shitty a motor that people make it out to be.

CA18Et= junk
CA20= junk
CA18DET= getting better
I'd rather have a s12 with a det than the previous motors
GVR4 = JUNK
I'm a stubborn fuck, I'll probably run it hard until the stock turbo blows or something. The block should be up for it.

Supra=UNDERWATER
that was Bryant posting.
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.HEY you! the s-12 is the shi*.

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.
I don't know why this made me laugh!

I'm a jackass?
Well you have fetal alcohol syndrome!
And I wasn't fucking around, CA18s and rb20s are pieces of shit.
3rd gen supra did it at SFS last weekend. It was the funniest thing i had ever seen.
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.
how did you know my mom drank while wshe was pregnant with me?
besides i could get on board with a $350 self propelled battering ram.

Pics?!

I wish I had some. Nobody took a pic of that joker just cause he was the worst driver anyone had seen.
my piece of shit will run you any day. bitch.
get a new car already. your 200 is busted as fuck. and did i mention slow?
Ok, cya friday night then.
We'll run.
BTW I don't have a 200.
And I think it is funny that you can say a car is busted.
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!
there was also the silver (or was it tan?) hachi during the competition that hit the one down near where the spectators were standing.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.
Because we all know that how old an engine is, it automatically makes it a piece of shit.

God rb20s are reallllllllly old though. Don't think I'd swap a Laurel motor thats 1000 years old in my 240.
The guys think they're getting Skyline motors that are super clean and babied.....
Nope probably really junky JDM z31 motors...
i had a guy bring me an "r32 rb20det harness". ended up being one of those bad boys, yeah he was pissed and i laughed at him.
"...I'm a thief, I'm a liar, There's my church, I sing in the choir..."
that's hot...
I rather drive that then a busted up s13..
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.God rb20s are reallllllllly old though. Don't think I'd swap a Laurel motor thats 1000 years old in my 240.

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.
