Hi All. R33 In Sydney's Hills District

Hi Guys,

Just bought my first Skyline and I'm lovin' it. I'm over 40 so you could say I'm reliving the glory days of my youth, hooning around in a 240Z but my 5 kids and 1 demerit point left (don't ask) keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.

Used to do all my own work but haven't been under a bonnet in years so will probably ask a lot of dumb questions about this new age fuel injection thingy. Please bare with me if I do

Thanks Danny. I plan to have fun with it. My wife was skeptical when I told her over the phone that I'd put down a deposit but she changed her mind when she saw it. Even the kids have become Skyline fans overnight (4 girls). Yesterday they asked if I could take them to the video store in it. When I said we already had a video for them to watch they asked if I coud drive them to the video store and back home again anyway because they were really just making up excuses to ride in it.

Had to break the news to my eldest (11yrs) that she won't be driving it in 5 years because of the turbo. She'll have to make do with the Nimbus

PS. Forgot to mention this is my 31st car but I intend to hang on to this one.

sorry guys. didn't realise my post had garnered any attention apart from Danny's response. That, and the fact that my wife had a baby mean I've only had time to work sleep and look after the kids the last couple of weeks. My avatar has a pic of me driving my 2nd Zed back from the Bathurst 1000 in 1990. Here's a better picture of it with some background:

Here's another pic of it:

Would you believe I sold it for $4,100. Have you seen the prices lately??

Here are some pics of the Skyline before I put bigger rubber on it last week:

@DRD-00F: It's a GTS-T. Not as grippy as a GTR but I console myself by steering with the throttle wherever possible

@Black Widow: That figure may be misleading. the first 25 were worth less, in total, than the 26th one One day I'm gonna make a list....

Just bought the Nissan Service manual and have the ECU -> laptop cable on order so can't wait to get my hands dirty.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Hopefully I can contribute something to the community here, in time.

Sexy car dude... enjoy it! It's good to see some old timers running around in the 'Lines these days too.
