1985 Nissan S12

1985 Nissan S12 (Silvia/Gazelle/200SX)

I’ve had this car for about 3 years now. It’s undergone multiple engine swaps and configurations since I first bought it. There probably isn’t a nut or bolt on this car I haven’t turned at one point or another. Currently the car is under the knife again for a full chassis wiring and engine overhaul.
