the s12 is NOT a good platform whatsoever, but thats what im doing is creating one... its not very hard really.

my wheelbase size is the same as a 240's... it looks small, but the s12 is bigger then you usually think

at the moment im at a stripped down stock 90 240 with a single slammer honestly... i weigh about 2600 pounds maybe, not much less then a s13.. only difference is my more rare datsun model has solid axle, but solid axle has advantages.... or not lol

toe out up front

how do i adjust toe in the rear with a solid axle haha


man, maybe i should just buy a se v6 s12 with stock independent suspension and r200 differential
