Why am I here: i have a 1991 gtr (minor mods) coming over at the moment. its had 5 days on the ship so far. this is an incredible site. more info than i can even obsorb. even though i dont want to admit it, i first heared of the skyline from GT2. thats when i fell in love with the car and about 6 months ago when i heared how many of these cars were coming over, i had to get my hands on one. it was probly a bad idea to make my second car ever a GTR (first was a 87 prelude) but ive driven many fast cars including 2 vipers and a 450 hp charger srt8. sorry for the essay but now you know just a little bit about me!

What I do: i am a student currently in grade 12, and have recently bought my first car, and in my opinion ive gotten the best first car a guy my age could ask for. looking back i remember when i was younger. Much younger i didnt know much about cars and i was playing a racing Video game (my favourite one) and i just bought nissan skyline and i thought to myself WOW This car is AMAZING, (i didnt actually know what the car was then) i find a great sense of irony and karma in saying that now, 5 years later i have a Nissan Skyline GTS-T type M . and that is just one of the many reasons why i am a Proud skyline owner,

Hay gus hows it going, Just thought id intoduce myself and give a bit of my auto history and work... Well recently I bought a realy nice 91 GTS off a good friend of mine But I will say that this is my first car lol I have alyes been into trucks and 4x4s but i figured id get somthing thats fun on the road.. So i realy look foward to learing about this car and then tuning and doing some mods... But a bit of my history and other vehickles i have, I still have my 1st truck... a 1968 International pickup. When I got it it was in a yard sitting for 10 years and 2wd but I later converted it to 4wd and drove it fter a whlo lot of work. Then I picked up from a friend a 1978 International scout witch was a toltal rust bucket but it had a good drive train (and was only 500$) then after a year i found a good bodied 76 scout with no engine for cheap so i just swaped in the engine and did a bit of body work. But running a V8 on gas sucked. So then i converted it to propane beaces its les then 1/2 the price of gas... Now the problem was that i lost a bit of top end power, hmmmmm well then I found a turbo cheap of a 94 dode pickup with a cummind diesel (5.9L) so its close in size to my 5.7L so i turbo charged the 345 in the scout and being on propane is that propane has an octane rating of 110 so you can use tons of boost with no pre ingnition. any was some pics below of the skyline and the scout and some of the work done....












And here is the turbo Scout lol





i bent a valve so i re did all the valves and replaced the ones that needed it and added stiffer valve springs so i wouldent bend one agane



and doing the turbo plumbing







the 2 exhaust banks ready to meet up (note the I fliped the exhaust manafold over with a spacer)



the spacer i had custome made




mock up




also i had to fix the front body mounts and floors






and i cant forget my old pickup

What i do: Attend North Island College: Automotive Service Technician. Race!
Why i am here: My first vehicle was a 1990 Chev C1500 Sport 5.7L V8 PROPANE! Pretty sad eh? Well my friend in College got me looking into the RB20DET and so i went and test drove a Nissan Skyline and the feeling of driving it is stuck in my veins and i wont settle for anything less. All my friends drive North American Fwd cars, either American or Jap, and they think they're amazing cars. HAHAHAHA Not a chance. The skyline is where its at. And come'on who doesnt like being able to say: "I drive a Skyline."

Just bought my first Skyline GTS-T, which has quite a bit done to it such as:

- GTR body package
- Coilover suspension
- Shaved door handles
- Catback exhaust
- 17" ROH wheels
- Bayside blue paint

Then i went ahead and had The Skyline Shop do:

- RB25DET w/ECU swap
- Race seats w/rails
- New headliner
- Seibon carbon vented hood
- HICAS lockout kit

i think that covers it?
anyhow...i am new as i mentioned i will have alot of questions for you guys.

What I do: Work for a window & door manufacturer
Why am I here: My live revolves around cars and I cannot go one day without physically driving. Nothing crazy, just the enjoyment on the road. Like you all I love speed, racing and everything in between.

Currently im driving a stock 05' Mustang GT and in the past ive almost purchased an 89' GTST Type M sedan.
Ive gone through the wanting a civic ordeal and realized it was just money to waste going that route.

This year for me is to strictly save up for one next year so I can own the car of my dreams (late 2009 - early 2010').

Im familiar with FITZY_07 and Placid on here.

Im currently a full time member since 05' with Up North Imports.
