    Silvia S12

    I have a white 86/87 S12 which apart from rust bubbling through in the corners here and there is solid as a rock underneath, makes my S14 look like a cast iron railing.

    Its a 1.8 turbo manual currently with the engine and box not in although the engine has been buried in saw dust and hasn't moved in a few years.

    Whats interesting about it is on the front it has HKS coil overs that have been modified to fit the S12, just needs a couple of the correct diameter springs buying which are only tens of pounds on ebay.

    Both sub frames have been poly bushed and painted red, the rear of which now has a little surface rust coming through as its been sat.

    I think it has lowering springs on the rear but I can't be sure, they're blue...

    The most significant part it has is an unused OS Giken 14 plate 1.5 way LSD which retail for £1500, the diff is an R180 with 3.7:1 gearing.

    I also have a set of R32 GTR front & rear calipers (same as R33 GTS) whcih have been painted red and never used since, also have a set of front discs which have been drilled for 4 stud fitment. These have never been fitted to the car as they do not fit under the standard wheels.

    I acquired the car with all these parts fitted but it was a standard car before the work so has never turned a wheel with any of these parts besides being pushed around.
    I have 99% of the parts either standard or upgraded.

    Only thing it doesn't have is the rear of the interior.

    If anyone in interested or can point me in the direction of anyone that is, give me a message, it would be much appreciated.

    thanks!

    £1700

    If no interest I will look at breaking it, the brakes will bolt on to an S13...

    Thats a car with a lot of potential, but i think the price might be a bit strong. You could also try advertising it on retrorides forum.

    price updated, I would rather the rolling shell went with the bits as it is as breaking is inconvenient

    engine is free to anyone who wants it

    I'm pretty sure its a DET, its been in the corner of a barn and is covered in saw dust, still has the turbo on it etc.

    UPDATE: It is an ET sorry

    I have a 12, would have had the engine off you if it was original but it would appear to be a 13 engine.

    Hello it is the original engine but upon closer inspection my earlier guess may have been out as I believe it is a CA18ET as it only has one cutout for the cam shaft. It is still available though.

    Hello, as above, this engine is an ET not DET

    Can you post a pic of the engine. I don't know what you mean by "cut out". Does it have one camshaft?

    Any interest at all, make me an offer, I don't want it to follow the path of my S14 and start dissolving
