This is some photos of my SR20DET powered S12 gazelle (silvia/200sx to some of you). The basics of my car is that it was originally a 1984 nissan gazelle powered by a CA20E. I've transplanted in a SR20DET from a 1994 180sx along with an IRS from a late model S12. Front suspension is cusco coilovers, cusco camber tops, S13 tie rod ends modded and S13 hubs. I have S14 200SX 4 pot brakes on the silvia hubs with the standard (on the IRS) discs on the back. Intercooler is from a JZA70 supra with some mods. Rear suspension is some 6kg or so springs with some old monroe gas shocks from a Ford Escort. Rims are 17x7 but are a bit skinny on the back. Exhaust is 3" turbo back.
Some guages to keep a better eye on engine coolant temps. Electronic Water and Oil temp guages mounted where the tape deck used to be.
My engine damper, i got it second hand a while ago but only just got around to fitting it. Had to make/modify the brackets cos it doesn't fit my car like it's supposed to fit the S13. Also shown is my Project MU D1 spec rear pads, very good for handbrakies.
This what the engine bay looks like now, pretty much everything done now. Also put in a new drivers seat so i stay put mid drift (somthing i really really needed). Also a shot of my alu air filter partition.

Another update, i shortened the castor rods on the car by 14mm, i didn't take any pics of them (do'h) but this is how the wheel sits in the arch now. It is further forward than normal due to the extra 2.5 or so degrees of castor i'm running now.
The fun i had...don't drop bits of clamp in the top of your turbo, not unless you have a couple of thousand of dollars worth of boroscope like this one to help fish it out again. Had to use a bit of wire, with hot glue and the scope to get it out.
The scope, fancy ay.

The offending bit of metal stuck on the end of the wire yay!
