I\'m loving the Minilites...
Do you have a full set?
they we\'re part of a full set. they were the only two that had useable tyres on them.
i\'ve since gotten rid of them, but i know where they are, and i\'ve asked the guy for them back. i want to put them on a Datto 240K (C110 Skyline) project i\'m dreaming up.
i\'d still have them if they were 15\'s or 16\'s. they sat an inch out of the rear gaurds, and used 205/60/13 tyres on them [[[ expensive.
Oct 26, 2005, 8:35 am · #64
Good lawd S12psi, those rims are hawt!
Is there a big price difference between the volks and the line-a\'s?

Jan 30, 2006, 9:34 pm · #71
As nice as those wheels are, there pretty heavy. Your car looks to be in good shape though.

It's orange. It is very similar to the Fast and Furious Supra but we took the entire brown tinter out and that's what it looks like. It's just a modified Lambo color.
I will point out that the orange S12 was painted way before the Fast and Furious movie was ever thought of.
I had that car in 1997 to 2000.

Travis, I don\'t see any Cam gear listed there!
Apr 5, 2006, 3:15 pm · #80
Travis, you rock, that\'s pretty much the EXAT path I want for mine. We are going to have to rap about the CA20E intake, since I\'m not sure what to do with the idle air controls and the vac lines.
Apr 5, 2006, 9:33 pm · #81
Thanks everyone.
Magnum, I forgot to add the cam gear. It\'s not on the car yet...I\'m hoping to get it done next week, as I\'m still trying to find someone with some knowledge in degreeing an engine.
Arro, We can have that chat any old time. I\'m thinkin about writing up a how-to for people.
Apr 5, 2006, 9:44 pm · #82
Take a look at those manifold pictures I posted in the Club Gallery of the CA20E intake manifold... you can use those in your writeup, add some pointer lines and descriptions or whatever else you need.
Apr 24, 2006, 10:11 pm · #83
ROSKOracer, that car is off the hook awesome! I want a tube chassied s12. one question, why all the positive caster? that front wheel looks really far back in the wheel well. I guess it might be the body work just being in a different spot than stock though.
westside, those konigs look awesome. good wheel fitament man. finally someone running proper rwd offsets, none of this +40 fwd crap. car looks so much beefier with good low offset wheels.
Apr 24, 2006, 11:11 pm · #84
Thanks New pictures of it coming soon. The Positive caster is just an allusion, it actually doesn\'t have that much. We believe the top speed is close to 190 KPH. The car has a 5 gear transmission and I only use 1st and 2nd at a half mile oval.

This is my new silvia It needs some work but ist ib better condition then the old one RIP.

1993 Nissan 240SX
This cas has been built as a somewhat classy daily driver. It's got all of the power options and everything works except for cruize control (I'm not missing anything). The suspension was setup to be comfortable enough for long business drives and hauling my girlfriend around.
Performance:
- 1997 S14 KA engine swap (A/C works!)
- Blitz Nur-Spec 3 inch catback
- Nismo engine mounts
- Fidanza short shifter
- XTD stage 2 street clutch
- Hicass LSD
- Eibach Sportline springs with KYB AGX shocks
- Godspeed Swaybars (front and rear)
- Solid spherical bearing T/C rods
- Ebay strut tower bar (front only)
Cosmetic:
- OEM S15 front seats
- OEM S13 Silvia skirts
- New black carpet
- Momo "race" steering wheel
- fresh paint
- Konig rewinds (15x7, 0 offset)
I'm honestly about done with this car. The exhaust was puchased for car #2 and will be swapped out as soon as I find a desent 2.5 inch catback with a resonator. I'm going to put a Xenon front lip onto it next month. I may do a low-boost (200ish Rwhp) in the future after project #2 is finished.
#2
I'm have been building this car
1993 240SX.
blacktop S13 SR20DET.
Chargespeed everything.
lots of other stuff. Needs about $10,000.00 to get it to the place I want it to be.
I'm building this car for HPDE and drift events.
#3
The S12. I bough this car mainly for classic appeal. I want to make it super clean on the outside and do some minor styling alterations and performance modifications.
Since I bought it I have purchased all-new interior panels from OEM surplus. I'd like to find a better set of seats but I have a feeling I'll be looking in junkyards for a long time for the same type in better condition.
I'm going to have the car painted black again as soon as I find some factory V6 Skirts and a bumper. I'd like to run a CA20ET on this car (for old-school appeal)
I have been buying an assload of interior tidbits to make it look like new again on the inside. I'm doing an S13 front suspension conversion and will probably run some custom made springs and koni shocks on the back:
Apr 16, 2008, 6:27 pm · #89
