Skyline? Yesh, that what I say on the way to the soccer game today. 
At first I thought it was a 240z with an aftermarket kit and emblems . . . I could also detect the distinct sound of a turbo wastegate . . .
He came up behind me really quick and slowed next to me and popped it a few times . . . I thought could it really be and I lowered my right window and yelled . . . "nice and a turbo too!?" he gave me the thumbs up and said it's a true Skyline from Japan. It was then I noticed it was righthand drive and knew it had to be the real thing.
Anyway, he wanted to play, but we couldn't find a clear spot and when we did there was Plano's finest . . . good thing we didn't hit it . . . especially since I had both boys with me. Finally we got a bit of a clearing and from 45mph we hit it . .. I must say I expected him to walk on me even tho I was in the sweet spot of our powerband . . . he barely pulled me if at all up to 75mph. I'm thinking that thing really isn't as fast as they say . . . or it's in major need of a tune up . . . and maybe someone that can speedshift as I could hear him winding out the gears and the turbo spooling, but his shifts seemed a bit slow, not bad, just slow . .. maybe those things have heavy clutches and he wasn't used to it.
Oh well, fun while it lasted!

I am awaiting a few flanges, but almost ready to install is:
JTM ITR DC Sports Stainless Steel 2.5" Header --> Type One Racing (T1R) 2.5 " resonated Test Pipe ---> Type One Racing 2.5" Stainless Steel full exhaust.
Mugen Cooling mods (that may be included in a Mod meet with Ruf). That'll do for now anyway. After that, with my particular engine and some Drag Radials (and some launching practice) Previous owner (educated car enthusiast) states car should be able to to click off High 13's in the 1/4.

1.8l DOHC VTEC, not the stock engine. OEM is B18 c1, this is a B18 C3 (95-98 ITR) engine. So I'm a little ahead of the game.
At the track the other night (for my first time out with a manual) Pulled a 15.2@94 mph, and a best 60 ft. of 2.3 Stock tires...I need to practice my launching, holy wheel hop

Anyway, he wanted to play, but we couldn't find a clear spot and when we did there was Plano's finest . . . good thing we didn't hit it . . . especially since I had both boys with me.

I must say I expected him to walk on me even tho I was in the sweet spot of our powerband . . . he barely pulled me if at all up to 75mph. I'm thinking that thing really isn't as fast as they say . . . or it's in major need of a tune up . . . and maybe someone that can speedshift as I could hear him winding out the gears and the turbo spooling, but his shifts seemed a bit slow, not bad, just slow . .. maybe those things have heavy clutches and he wasn't used to it.
Oh well, fun while it lasted!

the only problem is i want a car that his a good bit of room. I'm checking out this local 330i w/ 25K miles in Dallas right now. My folks are gonna go look at it tomorrow and if it turns out well then I'mma buy it. Still, keeping my options open. Been looking at used GS300s and stuff around that size.

Still, a fairly nice looking car . . . and I'm sure it would be fun to have and mod.

PS: Speaking of Casper . . . where has he disappeared to? Still got the Max? We need him to pop over and do some post whoring . . . SacTown is closing the gap. Without him and Danny we've really slowed down.
