Finally a Skyline Owner

[Southie]

i remember them not being painted back in the day when i had a skyline! lol at our mini meet

hey now...it was parked for 3months...in the paint booth tommorow they go...

sorry melissa back on topic....

[superdaveosbourne]

im 19 and drive a gtr aswell

i think theres another girl on here that has a gtr, though i think she might have sold it.. i think.

so you could very well be one of the few, if not the only young girl on here with a gtr.

Missmodel down in Niagra has a beautiful white GTR and she's not old.

Woah, nice Skyline...and a pretty woman who likes cars, does engine work and spots boost leaks...everything I've wished for :shock: hahah:-) ! Whoever you're dating is seriously lucky! Hats off to you Melissa, you've got a great car on your hands and by the sounds of it, you shouldn't have problems modifying it yourself. I know very few girls in the car scene, but it's cool seeing more getting into the scene. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the car, if you need some tech help, don't be scared to PM. I've worked on the RB20's most, but I know the RB26 pretty well and wouldn't have a problem sorting out any issues you may run into, as I have. Happy belated! Take it easy.

Thanks for the offer on help, I might just take you up on that one of these days... I'm still learning... haha it took me forever last weekend to figure out where that boost leak was... at first I thought it was the MAF's, so I cleaned those, then I thought it was the coils, so I checked all of those, then the spark plugs, so I replaced that, then the wiring going to the coils, so I checked all of those... then I did an oil change because there was soo much oil in it (the guy who owned it previously put waay to much in) ... that helped a bit.. it was frustrating:hit_head: ... so then the next day... the first thing I do is take out the MAF's again, along with the air filters.. and what do I see? A hose clamp that had fallen off and was rusted to the stupid engine bay... dont know how I missed it before... but that was the problem.. fixed that boost leak and problem solved.

Thanks for the belated birthday wish... I'm going out tonight to celebrate.. woo.. and I agree, very few girls know how to work on their own cars and are into the car scene.. but I'm working on getting more girls into it.

Haha and Southie, yes, the CRX was BAD........ that car was given to me though, as a gift, from a friend... lmao.... so I wasnt complaining.. I learned everything I know about cars on that car, it was my learning car haha... the guy who bought it off me bought it for his gf, but now he has it up for sale because 'its too fast for her' lmao. Good to know I built a car that's too fast for many people...

Cool, just shoot me a PM if you're ever stuck on something or have questions, I'd be more than glad to lend help!

trust me. boost leaks are tricky cuz the symptoms are almost identical to maf problems.

[Matty]

Haha why does it seem like all the young ppl have gts-t's? ... am I like the only young person with a GTR around here? ... am I the only GIRL with a GTR around here? lol.

dont forget rena on here

im a 21 year old sad owner of a gtr not on the road haha

[melissachequ]

Yah for sure!

[kelaog]

Wow stop throwing yourselves at the poor girl. She's gonna run away.

Melissa, how much free stuff have you gotten so far? lol, set of lights, new turbo's etc...

[JNS Performance]

Drives me crazy, all a box needs to have is SPACE and lots of it. No fancy ****! Spent literally $20 making my box, that was on silicon tubes. Free MDF, and screws.

white FTW, looks good. my only critisizm is a sony system in such an expensive custom enclosure. why not go with a higher end speaker/amp combo (i'm not blaming you bucause as far as i can tell you bought it this way, i just don't understand the people who will spend ~$2000 on a custom enclosure and only ~$300 on a sub/amp combo)

[dah_hunter]

Honda Lights.. Shudder..

I would be reverting back to stock..

:-)

love the car though..

sounds like your going to take care of it..

[JD74]

Yah....I remember the first time I talked to a Girl on the InterWeb............unfortunately Britney18 turned out to be a dude....lol

Oh, to be young again......

Most younger people have GTS-T's because they're cheaper to start with and usually cheaper to fix. Blow an RB20? Find a new one for 400 bucks and swap it in.

I just turned 21, owned my GTR since I was 19. Haven't driven it in 361 days, but who's counting.
