European Road-Trip to buy the 2 weirdest JDM cars | Pt.1

[@driftgames_life]

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

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

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

[@sliders15]

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.

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

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

[@danthayer4770]

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.

[@jasonhang647]

I used to have one and always wanted that kit

[@Midasss_]

S12 GP unfortunately had Fj20e

[@radstallions1525]

Congrats and welcome to the S12 Family. I have one myself I love it, been in love with this chassis since 2002! Yours looks amazing can't wait to see this chassis be showcased more and more.

[@mishky_2958]

You’re some man Dave bai. The s12 Silvia is so underrated, I absolutely love them. My dads first car was a Nissan gazelle which is what s12 Silvias were known as in Australia and I’ve wanted one ever since he told me about them!!

[@driftgames_life]

Glad you like it man!

[@Mr_jz_12]

I hadn't seen an s12 in ages till friday night when i spotted one at calder friday night drifts, and one the following day. fucking cool cars!

noice spoiling it

[@retroguy7229]

Yes Dave! Buzzing to see content on this! I have a s12 project myself and this is definitely giving me motivation to get cracking with it!

[@athenschoffstoll6362]

Same here dude. Really good to see some s12 content finally

[@glenne4167]

Very cool to see my former project going to a nice place! About the wheels, those are Compomotive CX500’s made for a Datsun, so a original complete set. Be safe be cool and hope u use her well!

Thanks dude, it is a great build!

[@86themadhatter27]

I don't think i've ever seen an S12. But it looks class. Can see about 10 different cars of its era all squeezed into one

[@funkworthrollin4959]

Nissan Pulsar. Toyota Starion. Nissan Conquest.

[@solanod12]

What a beautiful build, that is a lot of love put into that car to make it look desirable! Take very good care of it!

Thanks buddy!

[@manuelayala6080]

Yo im so happy u got that s12 cause no content creator has 1 and I know after you put your touches to it you going to make a lot of people change their mind about that car congratulations

and now, they will be more expensive xD

Lovely car would love to get a look underneath it too check out your suspension set-up. I'll be ordering BC coilovers for mine but I'd love to see the front arms and steering rack set up. Best of luck with it.

[@dougieirvine3980]

Yo that thing about the car shows and animals, those Dutch coffee shops get you thinking 😉😉🤣😂😜🙃

[@keganros]

Another S12 on YT, congrats! They're an absolute PITA to find niche parts for and the year splits make it hard to specify parts for trims -_- Can't wait to get mine on bags here shortly!

[@chrisw9642]

Unbelievable. The S12 family getting some love. Got a resto job going on with mine atm. Going original OEM look though. CA18ET, 74k, the full blue 80s interior. Desperate for a passenger front wing/fender and a spoiler though! Let me know if you know anywhere in Ireland or UK that would have them! In Ireland myself.

[@bmcshane80]

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!

[@driftgames_life]

Thanks dude and great info!

[@Nerf_Jager]

Good Content lads! Always cheers me up to watch you guys.

[@driftgames_life]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Lazl0ow]

So stupidly cool!!! I saw that car for sale here in the Netherlands, couldn't afford it but if I could, I probably would buy it. Very stoked to see you guys end up buying it! Such a cool and clean build.

[@Tom-xn7zc]

I love this car! It's been for sale for some time, hefty price but it looks so damn good! Sad I don't get to see it on show anymore in the Netherlands but stoked that it has been sold to you!

[@matthewbosman1212]

Love to see this car on the channel, I have worked on this s12 a few years ago , The engine came out of my S15 spec S that I stil own

[@driftgames_life]

No way!

[@darrynjames]

That’s awesome, keen to see what you do with the car… makes me want to get cracking again on my s12, got an s13 rear subframe in and it’s sat for a year 😅

[@chrisdaniel3153]

Scale 1 - 10 how hard was the rear subframe swap?? I hadn’t thought of using an S13 rear end!

[@darrynjames]

@@chrisdaniel3153 it’s a fair bit of effort, if you’re not handy with custom fab and welding I’d think twice about it. I’ve got some basic af videos on my channel of the conversion. I definitely underestimated what was involved in the job.

[@draggonhedd]

YESSS AN S12. MY FAVORITE SILVIA. That thing is tight. Love those things so much. You could get them with a VG30 in the states. S15 SR is arguably better though.

[@lucableasdale4227]

I feel stupid saying it but never even knew these existed! It's beautiful! Really good find here Dave 😍 I'd say twin cam crossed with a corrado

[@driftgames_life]

Not a bad shout on the combo! Rare car for sure

[@mokes1977]

I love it i honestly recently did some looking into them as well but man you've found a gem

[@paulharvey3759]

Dave it's a lovely car. Best of luck with it and health to enjoy it ✌️

[@driftgames_life]

Thanks dude!

[@driftgames_life]

Welcome anytime!

[@sigursberget3777]

Got an FJ s12 myself. These cars are suprisingly quick for theyre age. And the FJ is bulletproof. Many people would say the FJs are better than the SR

[@LeadFootash23]

Beautiful car, the colour looks sick too!!

[@bryanbuttery4237]

Can't believe you swapped this for an s14!! This thing is so nice! None of em around like this in NZ

I love Dave expecting to surprise us with the sr20, after letting us hear it get started, as if we don't know that raspy tone anywhere.

The sound of misery is hard to mask 😂

Cracking looking s12, loved mine when I had it, makes me want to find one again.

[@alync406]

That was a good find. Don't think I would change much with it apart from your plans for the link and tidy up the interior 👍🏻

Exactly our thoughts

Congrats on your latest purchase, when you get it registered in Ireland Dave will you go for a ZV reg plate or 86 KE XXXX?

[@driftgames_life]

Not sure yet, maybe a ZV

[@Roadworks_ire]

@@driftgames_life If you go for ZV it might have a crazy number after it and it’s the same with 86 KE, it’ll probably be 86 KE 120XXX

At last I owned one of these back in the day in red and I absolutely loved it really loved it can’t understand why we don’t see more of them especially with drifting being so huge right now so thank you for finally bringing one to the Interweb I’m chuffed ✊🥲
