  1. So, thought I better get myself a classic Japanese car awhile back, because new german daily driver cars are boring me lately. Was looking at old Toyotas and Datsuns etc but I decided it had to be a 70's or 80's 2 door coupe of some kind in the end. Pop up head lights would be a bonus. Got thinking about my S12 RX Silvia CA18ET notch back I owned back in the early noughties and thought hmm, that was a pretty cool, cheap fun car. Anyway started looking around in Australia and realised these things just are not about. Luckily I got a lead on a car that was not even advertised and found this : Original one lady owner Nissan Gazelle S12 , The main reason I bought this particular one, other than the fact its so clean is because it has a R180 IRS disk brake rear end and they are quite rare here, most of these sold new in Australia came with drum brake live axle rear set ups and I was not too keen on that. It has factory AC that still works, power steer etc. Really original car, factory head unit still fitted and all that stuff! Pretty hard to find in this kind of condition these days, I mean it is 30 years old! When I got it, seat covers and window shades had been fitted its whole life until now, so the interior has survived really well. Only downside to the whole deal is that its a CA20E. Automatic. Yuck I know. But at least it's been cared for and never thrashed. The Automatic can jog on though, I plan a manual conversion very shortly.
  2. HI there, Looking at buying a 1982 S110 Nissan Silvia for a new project. Unfortunately it has the 3spd auto box. Dont know alot about these cars so my question is what gearbox was used/will fit with the Z20 engine. Also is it a hydro or cable clutch setup? Cheers
  3. Got some pictures finally, this is gonna be a slow build but hopefully a good one. Plan is to fix any rust I can find, give the motor a service and tune, think the tappets are gonna need doing soonish (starting to hear them) get wheels, lower the shit out of it and do a motor swap sometime. At the moment everything is standard. Picked it up for 500 last weekend and did a 12 hour round trip from London to Yorkshire and back here in the UK. Was a steal with an almost full MOT (WOF), had to tax, it runs sweet and skids up nicely. Only rust I've found so far is the front lip mounting bracket which is nearly totally gone and surface rust on the suspension etc which I'll be replacing anyways.. Pics! Discussion Thread Here
