N12 Turbo Forums

Not sure how well it would fit an n12, cause the n12 have different front guards, so might not fit so well

Looks nice mate, and the paint work is very neat!

haha nice one mate and was good for a first go, was better then my first go at photo choping my car when i did it a few years ago lol. Also my car actually use to have a red and black pin stripe down the side of it when i first got it, but i didnt like it so i scraped it lol. Wasnt as big as that on...

I know Jon in Bris did the SR20DET swap years ago, http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67210269 Don't know where it is now, it obviously physically fitted, the rest of the systems to make it driveable would be needed regardless of CA or SR. :idea: FYI Jon's set-up is still in B...

hi why not do a draw throw setup to start with why u save the $$$ to do the conversation and u wont believe the power a carbie turbo can hold with the right tunning there once was a mate of my brother's that had a van like your's that had a draw throw setup that he build in his back yard and it ran...

Got all my wheels on today, fronts dont scrub! But need to get longer studs for the back and spacer plates. Will need longer studs all round really, cause the nuts dont have to much thread to hold on to as it is, but will do fronts once i get n13 nubs on there! http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m34...

Im not sure if they were imported into NZ or not, you should check around any wreckers and see if they have ever had any. You never know you might get lucky

With the blocks, i think its the other way around, CA alloy and SR cast iron, just something i read somewhere or maybe im wrong. With the brakes, the engineer i spoke too said as long as you got the same brakes as the car the engine came out of or better, should be passable. CA's also fit easier the...

you can roll ya own guards, i helped a mate roll his guards on his silvia, but it was already lowered so it was abit easier. You just need a pipe(size depends on the distance between the guard and the tyre) and some rag to protect the paint and the tyre and you get some in the drivers seat to drive ...

Yeh 205 45s are common and wheni asked at a tyre shop yesty they said bout $ 125 new, so look around and see what deals you can get.

Also if you havnt got spacers or rolled guards, you might have issues with the tyres scrubbing like mine are doing at the moment!

UPDATE! Got some 16" wheels today, not the most stylish rims i wanted, but i they were at too gooda price to let slip :D Need to get some spacers though... back wheels scrub the inside back of the guards when i go around corners or over uneven ground where ever it may cause body roll :( Anyway ...

Nice cars and love the Pulsar/Cherries mate!

Good to see some other countries love the little n12's!

Yeh i have seen a few going for that much, but there either gone or when i PM the person they dont write back

Re-read all this, will be interesting to see what Sam finds with the front lower ball joint issue .... I'd rather spend my time rebuilding a CA instead of an E15, haven't looked inside the bores or head or water passages of my E15ET for 7 years so they're probably corroded anyway. Complete CA's are...
