I sent an email to turn10, as a couple years ago, a local toyota celica-supra was used for the model in Forza Motorsport 3, so I'm hoping the same can be done for the s12! Here is the email I sent them, and hopefully nothing but good news comes from it!
Turn10,
I'm writing this email in hopes that I can get an up and coming tuner car added into one of my favorite games! I have a 1987 Nissan 200SX SE (S12 model code) which has the same v6 engine as the mid-late 80s 300ZX. They only made 10,000 of these over two years. They pulled it when they realized that it out performed their flagship sports car, the 300ZX. The car is in pristine condition with 120,000 miles on it so it would be perfect to use as a template. I have the factory wheels for it and the only modification I have made is to the exhaust. I have noticed that these cars are picking up popularity, and I'm sure many people would love its addition to the video game franchise. These cars are about on the same level as an AE86 Toyota Corolla, MA61 Toyota Supra, and the S13 Nissan 240SX in terms of popularity among import tuners. I used to own several of the early 80s Toyota Supra's and was ecstatic when I found out that Turn10 was getting together with a fellow Supra owner to model the car and so I'm writing this email in hopes that you would do the same with my own car.
The S12 200sx was also optioned with a 2.0L inline 4, and a 1.8L turbo inline 4 engine. The turbo engine was only available in the earlier years and was replaced by the 3.0L V6. If you would like any additional information, you can email me at [email address] or reach me directly at [phone number]. I really do hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks for taking your time and reading my email,
