Silvia s12 restomod update E17

[@denisevans213]

Beautiful work mate! - she's really coming along! wow.... :D

[@Aviationandautomotive]

Coming along nicely mate 👍

[@jonfreestone]

Thanks for the update. Takes ages doing even a walk around video so its appreciated. I gave up on the youtube as it was eating time that needed to be spent on the car.

[@XPUKKAX]

I put more on Instagram as its quicker but I thought I'd do an update. It's just been small tinkering jobs here and there lately but at east the engine is now pretty much there now, front ends done apart from bodywork and a bonnet. I'm just trying to source parts to do a s14 diff conversion now. The whole car is still a wrecker but I really think i'l just pay out for a body shop to do most of it when money and c9vid allows.

[@XPUKKAX]

You should still do the odd video . It's nice as a build history. I do it just for that. . I'm hoping the vlsd video will be useful to a few

[@wolfyliv5890]

Nice its coming along pretty quickly ☺ well done

[@XPUKKAX]

Thanks

[@wolfyliv5890]

Ur good with cars cuz when i see u down there with the s12 its just going quick :)

[@danieleaton1399]

Nice to see the work going in , I had a welded diff in mine which was crap so made lsd using s13 parts and it's a lot better to drive

[@XPUKKAX]

For road driving would you say the vlsd is a worthwhile conversion over the standard open diff? Does the car feel more stable/balanced?

[@danieleaton1399]

@@XPUKKAX the conversion makes it much better to drive can push the car hard in the corners and know it's more stable and holds the road better where the welded diff just kicked out all the time and when wet snapped back

[@XPUKKAX]

Great. Thanks for the feedback . I've just got to find a nearside s12 driveshaft now

[@Maxdamilli0n]

Man, you've come a long way on this car. Good job! Are you going to do the vlsd video still? I'm curious about that one, still have an open diff and it's terrible on the track.

[@XPUKKAX]

Yes I am. I have got a few bits for it but my vlsd is at my friends in chesterfield. I've been unable to travel to collect it. I also have the mk1 bonnet in Kidderminster. Until lockdown is over the car is now at a standstill.

[@reeceknapp6215]

How did you move the car around? Under its own power?? hopefully not as ghetto as when you moved the old Evo stick.

[@XPUKKAX]

Yup, under it's own power although I had an issue getting it back in with a rear wherl getting lift and being in the air due to uneven ground.
