Hey guys,
Have always browsed this forum for various parts and info so i decided to join and start a thread on my car, had a few projects over the years but have had to sell them for one reason or another.
A little while ago i purchased this straight 1200 sedan from Canberra
Got it home and started work on it straight away. Since ive had the car i have been collecting bits and pieces for the build which include a full ca18det conversion, R31 diff and struts and various parts that i have come across that i need.
Ive been busy lately installing a maddat trans tunnel, Cut out the front for the cooler and just tidying up a few things on the body before the final coat of primer. Absolutely all of the work will be done by myself includidng all fab work, Paint and panel, all engine/mechanical work etc etc.. apart from the wiring which Kev rowley will be doing, and respiling the axle because i dont have access to the machines lool. Plans are:
Body- Clean white 2K respray, basically all standard, all chrome redone etc
Wheels and suspension/brakes- 14" steel rims powdercoated black, with whitewalls and dress rims for now
reset leaves and blocks in the back, DIY coilovers at the front 120y struts, Silvia Brake conversion in the front
R31 brakes rear, with new slotted disks and lines etc.
udjustable camber tops and lower control arms
Engine- Standard CA18DET
Standard 5 speed with extreme clutch
Microtech or wolf3d ecu
550cc injectors, turbosmart reg
Custom Inlet manifold with 80mm billet throttle
Garrett GT2876R on aftermarket manifold
450x300x76mm front mount, alluminium S13 radiator
Mandrel bent 3" exhaust
Carter lift pump, surge tank and 044
all the usual polished piping and silicone
Interior- full retrim in dark red vinyl
Dash reconditioned
New carpet and hoodlining
Im goin for the sleeper look, basically restoring the car with a highly modified driveline.

New radiator (S13 SR20 ebay job, fits perfectly!)
Under bonnet
Cooler fitting
Didnt realise the engine sat so close to the firewall!!
