Welcome!

Another fellow Finn, nice! 8)

Looks like your car was almost as rusty as mine before I started restoring it. I like the orange paintjob, but why did you choose pink as the next color?

Lolz @ the extreme positive camber on the rear wheel of the 'festival' N12. :lol:

Orange paint was full of dust and trash, as you can see it was painted in my carage.

My girl chose current paint. :)

Next color is probably black, I can paint car in my work cheap and good :)

Festival cherry didn't like U-turn with handbrake :)

Are you planning to do an engine conversion/upgrade of some sort?

Well, here's an opportunity for all the others to learn how to swear in Finnish. That N12's hood is full of swear words (some are misspelled on purpose) and bad language in general. Oh, you can also see some proper language and a few names, too. :lol:

BTW, the term 'ET' comes from the N12 Turbo's engine code E15ET, which stands for; E: the engine family, 15: the displacement (1.5l), E: electronic fuel ignition, T: turbo. In Australia, Nissan decided to use the 'ET' part of the engine type code as a part of the name of the Turbo model. So your N12's and mine are not ET's, technically speaking... until an E15ET sits under the hood.

I think it's supposed to be sort of a trim level. Our N12's are 'GL' hatchbacks. But the European 'GL' trim level is more or less the same as the Australian 'GX' trim level because 'GL' was the top of the line trim level for the non-turbo N12 in Europe, in Australia 'GX' was top of the line for the non-turbo N12 IIRC.

Currently I'm hunting CA18ET or CA18DET engine.

I bought B11 diesel and if I'm right, I can use power train from that straight to do conversion.

At least the engine mounts will turn out to be useful, the CD engine series is a diesel version of the CA engine series. Not sure about the rest.

Sounds like another awesome engine project! 8)

Cool! Welcome on the forum! I like what you did with your car except the color... You should have kept the car in Orange, our national color in the Netherlands :lol: 8)

Not that we can be proud of the netherlands footballplayers at this moment but ok... :oops:

Now drop a turbo motor in and stop mucking around with the paint lol

You can come paint my car if you like painting so much.

Black suits your car more than that pink no wonder the windows got smashed hehe.
