    So what do you guys think of the new purchase? What changes would you make to it?

      Beautiful S12 i love it so its not coming home to Ireland so be nice to hear its going to be irish registered or if its a jdm legend we will miss ha ha peacock ha ha or a old celica and a AE86 from back stretched out love child of the AE86 AND CELICA SUPRA

      Love it! If it was me I'd say all it really needs by the looks of it is an interior tidy up, especially of Dave plans to daily this.
      Getting a roof liner in there or some fresh paint on the inner roof especially (Roof liner will help make it a nicer place to be in all weathers)

      Covers for the pillars and roof. Strip underneath and underline it to protect it in ireland. Rest is perfect.

      Tidy up the inside, add some sound deadening and lining to make it as nice as the rest of the car. Outside and mechanically wouldn't change a thing, it's bang on

    So awesome to see an S12 getting attention on such a large scale channel. Those clear markers and the wing are gold here in the states. Many S12 people fit S13 aero to their S12. Should take a look at the S12 GP (grand prix). Factory widebody with fj20et.

    These were sold here in Australia in very low numbers and were called a Nissan Gazelle.
    Came with an NA FJ20 motor in Poverty Pack Spec and a Turbo FJ20 (Same as the DR30 Skyline) for the High Spec cars.
    Rare as all fuck here now, clean ones are 30K+
    AMAZING Build! Congrats Dave!
