My new b12 station wagon

CodeBlue · Oct 19th, 2007, 05:47 PM

Hi everyone,
I recently got a 1990 b12 station wagon, and I'm lovin every minute driving it

(its as fun to drive as my prior car, a 1965 vw bug)
The only mods as of now are aesthetics in nature. Dropped it a bit and slapped on some black wheels to compliment the paint job. Aside from replacement of its timing chain and engine supports, the only major thing I have to repair right now is the a/c, which is not working optimally (a/c is a necessity here in the Philippines). With regards to the engine, I'm quite happy right now with its present set-up, as it can take me from point a to b in time, without gulping obscene amounts of petrol. I would be more inclined to upgrade the handling department (maybe get a strut bar and upgrade the brakes).
I'm happy to stumble upon this forum.

Cheers everyone!

Ace

rally mud flaps?I don't think so, but thanks for the suggestion.
updated pics of my b12.

Those 15s really help in the handling department.

Also, I recently bought a grill, it was a perfect fit, although I'm just curious whether or not this is the right grill for my 1990 model. I read that from 1989 onwards, the "Nissan" logo was moved from left to center. Here's a pic of my grill.

we have the same car though mine is bit older than yours (1988 Nissan California). Mine has a E15 engine, btw, how much kilometer of fuel do you consume in a liter. Some say that mine burn a lot but some says E15 is more economical than other nissan engine. Is this correct?

welcome to the club my friend ! ! !

Anyway, maybe you can help me with my problem. My carburetor undergo overhaul a month ago, but when the mechanic turns it back it made an unusual start. He said that it was normal since carb is doing an auto-choke. I'm just wondering because before the overhaul service the start is smooth even in the morning (cold engine). My suspect is that he mistakenly return the linkage of Auto-choke, since i have noticed that the bi-metal plate is not responding during throttle.

Right now, i'm figuring it out by myself so i need your help. if you have pictures of your auto-choke linkage the better. One thing more, what is the model of our car carb. I search it in the net but i can't find one.

what kind of springs did you lower with? I'm thinking of buying one but would like to know who makes some of the mods for it.

are there any tire/wheel setups off of newer sentras that would work? knowing only a 14/15inch setup is possible/smart.
