The front suspension is fixable using S13 bits, but from my understanding it isn't quite "bolt-on". There IS some cutting/welding involved. Stop arguing about how boss the s12 is, because it's not.


OP: If you're just looking for something to drive around for a while and the price is right then fine, buy the S12. If you're looking to modify it, even a little, then forget it. It's too much hassle to even get coilovers on the damned thing.
never said they were boss THEIR DATED but they were pretty good for a 80's design and the S14 rear subframe and front suspension is VERY swap able with stuff.

know what though? I'm glad im in the Z31/ S12 route because it actually teaches you how to fabricate make one off shit you have no bolt on kiddies and thats awesome their less likely to get stolen and not only that no one Z31/S12 is ever the same as the next guys.


hey guy stfu and read up.
