I believe silvia's are a different width, so they would need slight modifying.  I dont know of any skirts that will fit strait on either, so best to get WRX ones and cut them down a little.
Personally i would go for either Silvia or WRX kits and modify... they are so popular that they are cheaper than other makes, they wont need too much modifying, and they would suit the U12 just nicely IMO.

Thinking about it a little more.... Probably your best bet is a kit off a pulsar, they are also made quite alot, and from memory some almost bolt strait up with very minimal mods.

I've thought about the s13 silvia body kit, being a similar shape, but they may be a bit wide, has anyone put an s13 body kit on their u12?

if your handy enough youll be able to fit and paint the bar yourself. you can pick kits up for s13's for under $800.  but $ 1500 is good to have it all done for you drive away.

I don't think anyone has put a S13 kit on their U12, Stu a.k.a. Project Siltara was going to put a S13 front bar on his Pinnie I think.

shit for that car bolts up to ours with minimal modification i think...

Yeah me. I am using an s13 180sx rear bar and currently getting a Silvia 'Vertex' front bar made to suit my car. I am using 'Talon' sidekirts from a Lancer (I think its from a Lancer), they don't need to be modified in length, but I had them re-shaped and flared a bit near the wheel arches.

Thats a BN kit. That was one of my other options. BN, Vertex or Bomex.

BTW: Did you know you can use the Laurel side mirrors. They are the same as the Bluebird and Maxima ones like I got.
