Hello. My First Skyline!

[TommyR33]

Hey all, my name is Tommy I am 22 and work in the building design industry.
I have loved Skylines since Gran Turismo 1 on the playstation one, One day I hope to own a GTR R33/32.
So I picked up a 1993 ECR33 GTS25 Skyline 2 weeks ago off a elderly man for a price I couldn't refuse. I am the second owner since he imported it with 33xxx km. It even had some service manuals from Japan and a instruction booklet for a HKS exhaust system that might have been on the car previously, pretty cool.
The car had no roadworthy and was unregistered.. so I took a chance and put a deposit down and proceeded to pick the car up the following week with my unregistered vehicle permit.
Some info.
-1993
- 5 speed manual
- Rb25de ( I am on my probationary license)
- Hicas equipped
- JVC 10 CD stacker (gangster)
- JVC head unit with cassette player (more gangster)
- Alloy radiator
- According to the build plate it is a type M? Although it has no type M aero bits.

Getting the car on the road was actually easier then I thought, got a unregoed permit from vicroads, took it to my mechanic and we fixed up a few minor issues (bushes mainly). I got my roadworthy, went through the pits (which I was shitting myself over) and it was finally regoed after 5 days. Not a bad effort!
My plans are to fix up the paint because I really do like this colour and a majority of panels are faded into almost a matte finish,although one side still looks great! But again I cant complain because it was cheap and I had great difficulty finding a manual that was unmolested. (if any members can point me in the direction of a reputable paint workshop in Melbourne that would be greatly appreciated)
I just booked in to get a exhaust made up from a local guy who does a fantastic job, 2.5" catback with a stainless supercat cannon 2.5" inlet and 4" tip. Should sound the goods!

Pics for your time.
Thanks for reading.
