Welcome to v6-s12.com, the new home of Chris' 200SX SE V6 site!  The site has a new look to go along with the new domain!  I hope you enjoy exploring the pics, specs, how-to's, and everything else the site has to offer.

This page is dedicated to a relatively rare model of the classic S12-series Nissan Silvia, sold in the US as the 200SX.   The 1987-88 SE V6 is the most powerful 200SX ever sold in North America.  It shares the same engine, transmission, driveline, and suspension with the 300ZX of the same vintage.

*****NOTE****

  For those who are at all confused about the words "Silvia" and "200SX",

****Pics and Video from the 2004 Club S12 / Classic 200SX East Coast Meet!!****

 

The 2004 Club S12 East Coast Meet was held Aug. 27-29 in the Great Smoke Mountains region of Western North Carolina. 

 

We camped in Maggie Valley, and the highlight was driving The Tail of the Dragon on Saturday.  The Tail of the Dragon is a rather famous 11-mile stretch of U.S. Route 129 near the NC/TN border which boasts 318 curves.


 And we managed to take a few video clips as well:

Video 1 (Approx. 4.5 MB)
Taken by me from the passenger seat of one_equals_two's Turbo on a brief run on the dragon near the northern end to show off his new turbo

Video 2 (Approx. 12 MB)
Taken by Johnnyfive from the back seat of one_equals_two's car

Video 3 (Approx. 10 MB)
Taken by me, running at the back of the pack while we were stuck behind the infamous red Chevy Lumina that became the bane of our existence, but the temporary slowdown is the only reason I was able to take one hand off the wheel and shifter to shoot some video

Video 4 (Approx. 4.5 MB)
Taken by me, STILL stuck behind the Lumina of Doom, as we pass a gathering of bikers at Guardrail Cliff. Calderwood Lake is far below. I apologize for the defect in this video, my camera went nuts when trying to adjust to changing light conditions while recording AVI.
 

*********Updated 7/28/2003: Double Trouble in The Triangle, new pics below *********

As of September 2003, there are now two black and silver 1988 200SX SE V6's in Raleigh!  Early in September a guy in Virginia Beach posted a message to the old Classic 200SX Yahoo Group, wanting to sell his '88 SE.  I re-posted the message on Club S12.  A couple weeks later, (and after being delayed by Hurricane Isabel) the car was in the possession of my friend Hendrik, another Club S12 member from the Raleigh/Durham Triangle Area. 

That week Hendrik and I met in the parking lot of my office in North Raleigh to take these STUNNING pics.

A very rare sight. My car is on the left, Hendrik's on the right.

Just a few differences between the cars:

Hendrick's has a sunroof, cruise, & the black wheel center caps instead of the silver like mine.

Hendrik plans to add a custom fog light setup soon.

Nice pair of VG30E's. A few of the mods I've done are visible.

The building is where I work, Alphanumeric Systems, Inc.

You can see the red tubing in my engine bay that covers the custom wiring I did for the electric fans.

Expect to see some underhood mods on Hendrik's SE before long.

Proud new SE V6 owner Hendrik.

And me, still dressed for work.

Double trouble, indeed.

Really nice ground-level shot

Profile shot of the twins.

UPDATE: Some new pics from 7/25/2004, at Hendrik's house. His blue '88 CA20E 200SX is is next to his '88 SE V6

No, I don't really have that license plate, just a bit of Photoshoppin'

Hendrik doesn't really have that plate, either.

The two SE's nose-to-nose
