Hi JDM, welcome to the club!

Nice zook, me and my mate were looking at that one yesterday but it was a bit too far to go look at for us! Hope it all works out for you!

If you have any questions, just ask! :)

is the handbrake working? I find the most common issue is that the rear drums are not adjusting properly.
If the handbrake doesn't work well, this is probably the cause, on the spanish 1.3 models anyway

:welcome: to :S: cuk

Looks alright matey, not 100% sure on the cage, looks like the corners have been welded rather then bent so that's not going to be as strong but apart form that it looks good :doublethumbs:


I keep thinking about getting a silvia turbo instead of my mk2 golf gti, I would love an AE86 but they fetch silly money :bawling: one day i'll save up for one :lol:

this one on the bay looks alright, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-NISSAN-S ... 500wt_1202" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I wonder if he'll swap for a golf :lol:

yeh im going to make a new route for the cage

yes get a S12 i had 1 there mega good looking look alot like the AE86 without the price tag :]
the 1.8 turbo engines in them are pretty good to :) pop up lamps will fail but most pop ups do lol

few little problems have popped up now been looking round the SJ ..sounds daft but bonnet pull???? were am i looking lol

what best engines to put in the SJ then a friends putting a 306 D turbo engine in his other say 1.7 CTDTI astra enigne unlucky for me i just got rid of 1 of them :(

what sort of BHP does the s12 put out stock?

Bonnet pull is in the glove box :lol:

IMO I don't like diesels in SJs because they weigh too much and ruin the main advantage SJs have! their light weight! yes they are good for deep water and a bit cheaper on fuel but that's where the benefits stop :lol:

Easiest conversion is the 1.6 8V out of a Vitara
