A Big Hello From Holland!

Hello boys girls and everything in between, my name is Stefan, 25 summers of age, and I live in Holland.

The last few weeks, I've been the owner of an R33 from 1993, so that's a Spec1 GTS25t.

I'm a student and I work 30-35 hours a week(-end) to pay for my addiction to boost.

Previous cars have been a couple of Civics, two Starlets, an '89 CRX, and the most interesting ride I owned; a 95 Civic coupé, fitted with a B16A2 (1.6 twin cam VTEC) engine with another set of cams and a T3/T04E turbo, and the whole circus arround it... pushing about 300-325hp at the crank.

With wich I do not dare to bore you, so here's my Skyline, already been modding it, mainly removing trash, cleaning up the engine bay, etc.

VEHICLE DETAILS:

Nissan Skyline GTS25t (ECR33)

Build 1993, (import JPN->UK = 2006, import UK->NL = 16-05-2009)

Plans include (in random order) a brake upgrade, FMIC conversion and sideflow manifold, GT-series turbo, top mount manifold, replacing the rear spoiler with a Spec2 or GTR wing, lowering it, new wheels, seats, a roll bar and other chassis reinforcements etc etc.

It's a daily driver, so no dori dori :D

whats the fuel quality like over there?

half my family is from over that way also, originally from Emmen i think?

Could be better, but could be a lot worse as well.

Traditionaly we have Euro 95 and Super 98, then some premiums, wich often are 95 RON or 97 RON, never lower than 95 RON.

I never go to a Shell station (they only sell 95 RON), I prefer Esso.

And your family is from Emmen? :down:

No kidding... I live right next door haha, it's a 30-45 minute drive to the north west from Emmen to my place.

Don't expect to find me in Amsterdam, I avoid going to that city full of nutcases and junkies... everybody is full of hot air, nobody in Holland likes people from Amsterdam, except for people from Amsterdam.

At least, that's what we think here, up north :P

    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
