My Nissan Cherry 1.3. Finished, is now a 1.5 turbo :D
Hi!
What a great forum! There a heaps of parts available here and that's the main reason that i registered here. My name is Rens, comming from The Netherlands and 19 years old. My daily-drive is a Nissan X-trail 2.5 but that's not the car where my money goes to. That's my Nissan Cherry N12 with a 1.3 (stock 60bhp, mine also stock does 70bhp on the dyno ). It's a special edition with 2-tone paint, turbo-seats and some extra's like 5-speed gearbox. How it was begin of 2007:
in the last few months i have done a few mods:
-Silvia S12 wheels with 185-55-15
-rear spoiler
-front spoiler
-original radio-casetteplayer
-a lot of work on the engine
-etc etc etc
and now it looks like this:
I also have another car, a Cherry 1.5GL. This one need still a lot of work...
I want to give this car a little bit more USA/australie tuning that's why i am searching for the spoiler kit on this forum. Also will get some black-painted silvia S12 wheels, big exhaust maded by EPS-stainless steel exhaust (custom) and some big-ass stereo etc.

G'day Rens, welcome to the forum!
That's a pair of very nice Cherry's you should be proud.
Will you be doing a turbo transplant on the red one?
And which spoiler kit were you looking for exactly? Is it the one like mine:

hi!
Tnx for the warm welcome! My Cherry is now standing by the garage because all the small rust-spots will be welded and all the black paint will be sprayed over! It's now for a month away and it will take at least another month to make it 110%
Btw, i mean with the USA-style your standard ET-spoilerkit. Aspecially the front bumperspoiler is really cool to see! never seen something like that in Europe before
Greetz!

Hi!
Time for a small update. The restoration now really get's shape! Lot of bodywork has been done and i have got heaps of new parts (trims etc)! Unfortunately some grazy people had put some scratches on my perfect paintwork So it will need now a complete re-spray! That's is really hard to do because of the two-tone and the original striping which just belong to this car! I hope my car is ready in the beginning of juli this year with a complete new paint-job. I also found a new turbo-grill (black/red) and the original Cherry turbo sideskirts (factory ). Some photo's:
zijpaneel, begin van de kras over zijkant:
and some of the welding:
Together it will now be a restauration of 3000 euro's
I'm also looking for the rear sideskirts that only fit's the side of the back of the car. I hope someone could help me with these!
Tnx!
greetz,

Tnx mate I hope i will found one of these for my red Cherry. Btw, the red Cherry is now on the road. A lot of rust has been welded away and it already makes a trip of 2000km without any problems! Lot's of them were made on the German roadway and i had a top speed of 185 on the GPS Just flat road without hard wind or something like that

Hey Rens! It's nice to see a N12 Cherry from Europe in as good condition as your 1.3, I thought they all were rusty and faded.
The 1.5 does not look that bad either, I can barely see any rust. You've got hold of a couple of good Cherries there. Most Cherries in Finland are found at junkyards, and those I have seen on the roads are very very rusty.
By the way, did the Silvia wheels bolt right on at the rear, or have you used spacers? I have a hard time finding 15-inch rims with a suitable offset for my Cherry. Those Silvia wheels look great on the Cherry!
