I saw your Facebook posts and had always believed only the R200 had cooling fins.

I asked around and now I'm pretty sure it's r200 which is good news

I was able to simply remove the damper from the car and connect the lines together. I had to CAREFULLY bend the hard line to line up with the line to the slave cylinder, mine had no rust. If yours is rusty, better not try to bend it, just get the previously mentioned flex hose.

The plan for today was to get the differential off the car, disassemble it and properly measure it to make sure that the Quaife ATB, I plan to buy, will fit because I'm not completely sure what differential I have. Well, that was the plan but after getting to the garage and jacking up the car, the hungover me couldn't muster any more strength to undo a single bolt. As I was laying under the car staring at the drivetrain I devised a different plan, I'll ask you guys, trust you and my luck, and then I'll buy the Quaife without comparing the old diff with the Quaife spec sheet. Well then guys, is that an R200 differential?





Sadly, I didn't do much work on the car, apart from fitting this sick Gatorade sweatband on the brake fluid reservoir but I did do quite a lot of driving and I must say the car handles incredible, the suspension work I did on it really paid off and the engine runs sweet and strong as well!



However, I didn't just goof around, I've been negotiating deals on some really cool parts for the old s12, there's a lot more to come!

Just wanted to check. Should be able to just disconnect the rubber hose from the hard line on the slave side and connect right up to the hardline on the master side yeah?

Last weekend I swapped over the fuel injectors from my spare engine.  I'm working on getting the fuel and intake systems reassembled, but Florence has forced me to take a break.

Hope you get it going. My SE has been out of commission for months as a no start. I changed jobs and have had no time to deal with it yet. Last time this happened, I gave up and took it to a shop, they found three bad grounds. I will be searching for all the grounds soon.

Yes, there are numerous better turbos available. I got a smoking deal on mine so I took it. My car is fast enough for an old man, I don't drift or even spin the tires, but I do like to stay ahead of traffic while merging. Got scared enough times with the OEM T2 and it's anemic output.
