Hello All Fellow Skyline Heads

[Ecozile]

Not very new to the forum – joined some time back but wasn't very active since I have asked couple of questions here and given that I have had helpful answers from all of you, I figured "Hello all" is indeed due!!

My name is emil and I am from Auckland, NZ. I have had my fair share of skylines – funny that I am on my fifth R33

Me and my affair with skylines

My first skyline was a GTS 4 25DE 4wd manual version which I bought end of 2002. Soooooo wanted to drop a RB26 in to it but then been a student and all it was just a dream. Wasn't the fastest skyline but it kept me happy. No wonder I never felt bad when it came to fill up petrol.

Moved on to a GTS + T manual it was all good fun and the chap who had it before me must have been a fan of STICKERS lol it had all performance stickers – every damn traffic light people(lets say almost every honda civic, subaru, what not..) want to race with me and revvvvv their engines – only I knew it was running low boost and all that, I was doing the cool "slow rolling"

Upgraded to an awesome R33 GTST Manual. I was the first owner in NZ – car dealer showed me pictures when they were bidding for it in Japan auctions- first sight love it was. It was just fun from the day one. I still remember - couldn't wipe big grin off my face, it was fixed for couple of weeks . Had it close to two years. Started moding it slowly to a decent 210rwkw on stock turbo. Oh man, what a mission to find a Power FC for 25DET, all part of the fun

I always wanted a Series 3 midnight purple GTR ( but couldn't afford) and then when I saw a midnight purple series 3 GTR V spec – xenon light, red stitching, V spec well all I could think of was it – day in and out. Couldn't make up my mind if I am to upgrade turbo/ injectors or go for a GTR. And the decision was in favor of R. What a heart aching decision it turned out to be

And there goes my so loved GTST for sale. Was on local Gbay (TradeMe) for three weeks and car was gone and I was the happy owner of 97 Midnight purple V spec GTR What else could you ask. All I did was changing oil, cleaning and polishing car for 37 days I had it

Yeah, thats right, 37 days....Some f(cking c(nt steal it from my own car port . I was so gutted. Didn't drive for 4 month, didn't even want to buy another car. It was just f(uking horrible. You know when you dream of it for such a long time and you finally get it – and then lose it the next minute, I was well pissed off with my self….let alone the f(ucker who steal it.

What next you may ask… well I went and bought another skyline, and yes another GTR . a PINK GTR

Had it over a month now, still getting to know the car. Stock standard engine with so much bling bling, all show no go at the mo. But looking forward to coming months for starting the quest – oh that power hunger that we all have

Hello all and bear with me for all those silly questions I will be asking\posting from now on

PS : Turned out to be a very long hello, must be the …. But yeah, now you know me and my skylines
