Aussie S12 driver here 8)
Im in Adelaide though, but i agree with your idea about getting a list of all Australian S12's. I see a couple of S12's on the roads here in Adelaide, hopefully some of them are members here, maybe this thread will help bring us all together.
And another Adelaidian. Recent buyer though, so i havent been in hiding.

Unai Naa series 3 bbird H190 diff is a borg warner, Gazelle H190 has a Japanese H190 has a longer 'nose'. The series 3 bbird axles complete with disc brakes will bolt into a Gazelle housing though.

hmm can u get LSD for the S 3 bb easy?

You can't they're as rare as hen's teeth. If you did find one and you wanted to put it into a Gazelle, and it was a borg warner you'd have the same problem of it being a 'short nose', so you'd probably have to get your tail shaft lengthened slightly.
By the way in keeping with this thread I'm in Brisbane.

Ive been lazy and havent here posted yet. I drive an 84' coupe with an SR conversion, i live just around the corner from Neb, so ther is sometimes 2 SR gazelles parked in my driveway :banger:
I also have a 2nd S12 coupe that has a CA18DET init, but it isnt running yet

Did you do the conversion yourself? Its not Anthony Sephton's old car is it?

This was a great idea, love your work Sheppo.
I'm another boy from the National Capital, I drive an '84 CA20E coupe. No engine mods, just aftermarket shocks (KYB) and springs (King).
I'm looking to buy an S12 hatch as well so PLEASE check the "wanted to buy" section, I'm going to keep plugging it until I get one. I've been advertising on all the forums and checking all the classified ads I can think of but it's proving to be harder to find than a straight guy in Sydney :gay:
I'd totally be up for a bit of an S12 cruise ending in Sydney ...even though Sydney's a toilet. :laugh:
I'd be so ashamed though, turning up in my filthy S12 basher while everyone else is standing next to their gorgeous pristine turbo examples!!!
Any ACT boys other than Al3x?
Will look forward to the cruise, my email is [email removed]
God bless boys,

Well if somebody will sell me a Hatch (with IRS) I'll put my CA18 and S13 trannie in it and get LSD and paint it and it'll be fast and beautiful so I won't be quite so ashamed but I can't do that until SOMEBODY SELLS ME A HATCH :wall:
I'm advertising on all the Silvia websites and performance fora and checking the Sydney Morning Herald, Canberra Times, Carpoint and the Tradingpost. Anyone got any other ideas? Might go have a chat to my wrecker and get him to give me a call if an S12 comes through 'cos obviously it doesn't matter if it has engine/trans or not.
I think us East Coast boys should try to organise the inaugural annual "S12-o-rama" ...don't worry the name's just a prototype. You know, start a proper club that isn't just an online forum and get out to a track somewhere. You know, do some drifting, some 1/4s, that sort of crap. Of course I'm happy to wait until I have a faster car and won't be so embarrassed!!!
God bless boys, keep us all posted about this cruise idea.

I just pick up anoughter gazelle today, and guess what........ its an IRS coupe :guitar: 8-)
date not saved · #75
It's not Manuel's is it?
Red one, crappy motor and auto trans. If so ...damn you. :hit: I'm hoping he'll sell it to me so I can get the IRS and the front panels for my coupe.
Well keep an eye out for a hatch ...you have enough S12s, it's my turn :razz:
God bless

thats the one. it is in very good condition, so i dont think i will pull the IRS out now, i will keep it and put my CA18det into it, and try and find just an IRS craddle for my SR coupe
Im now selling my blue coupe (soild axle) that had the CA18 init cheap without motor. just check the for sale section

Perth boy here, drive a CA20E hatchback. Been lurking for a while, decided it was about time I signed up.
Had my s12 since about 2001, running stock due to a lack of funds and money. Needs a bit of a tune up as well. So if you don't mind I'll probably be picking you lots brains for tips.
