My Second S12

[Doug]

So i sold my s12 today, got cash plus a trade for this. 1986 nissan s12, 156 000km in minty shape. Automatic (fail hard) but very clean. The plan is to clean it up a bit, drive it for the winter, swap something fun in next spring and possibly drift it a little. This wont be near as expensive of a build as my last s12, just a modest daily driver with some relatively large balls.

All good things must come to an end

what are plans for the powerplant if you don't mind me askin?

[Doug]

KA24 is easiest, was gonna look into vg30DE but then i gotta crossmember swap, etc, etc.

[sam31183]

kade is a fairly easy/well documented swap...and its a great daily driver combo with enough power to play around with...you should be fairly happy with it if you intend to daily it with some side racing on the side....how is that part of canada for finding cheap kas btw?

[Doug]

They used to be fairly common for cheap, but i'm finding them increasingly difficult to locate in good condition.

I was afraid of that...the ka has become more popular then it was previously due to the ongoing developments over at the kadet forums. It seems to be a much better engine then most people considered it. I honestly think it is a awesome engine NA...because its reliable fairly simple, and makes power and torque nicely.
