Finally a Skyline owner!

[Count Zero]

Woo-hoo! I'm so happy!

Got the car, 1990 GT-R, on Monday.....drove it 1600+ miles to get home...took about 6 hours longer than expected (blowing a fuse and 2 stops by Highway Patrol helped with that.....luckily fuse fixed and no tickets)

Ok, so the GT-R is totally *not* a roadtrip car. My lower back is killing me.

But oh man, was it worth it!I love this car!

Got a few issues and quirks, but it's a street-legal GT-R and it's mine, so I can live with that.

Big tuning plans? Or just the usual babying and cruise?

Looks good though man, glad to hear you are satisfied..

Street Legal eh? noice! btw mind telling me whats done to that WRX of yours?

[USsil80]

very nice.. but how legal is "legal" - motorex car??

[RWD_101]

congrats

motorex cars that were legalized before the dispute are 100% legal.

[USsil80]

yes i know... but is it???

[Count Zero]

yes i know... but is it???

Yes, it's one of the Motorex cars. Now....did they really do all the things they were supposed to have done? Dunno. But (legally-speaking), that's not my problem. They said they did, State of California certified the car as such and DOT said "Ok, it's good to go"......

A little bit of tuning plans, sure. Has a boost controller and AEM EMS (not plugged in, but was running with it before the previous owner pulled the motor).

He said he had it dyno'd at 369 with the stock FMIC, and now it's got a bigger one. Figure that I'll make sure everything is working properly, then learn how to tune with the AEM, and make that 369 target my goal. I figure that sould make me content for a while, at least.

My biggest plans are suspension upgrades. Whatever it's got on it is good, but no sway bar or strut-tower braces, so will start with those. Maybe some nice adjustable coil-overs later on.

Yea....I had been at a big concert the week before and had been too lazy to take it off. I'm a sad old has-been punk from the 80's who revisits his childhood now and then.

I love the way it runs now....can't wait for the extra ponies.

Came across it just randomly browsing eBay, of all places. Contacted the guy and then we did it just private-purchase from there.

It cost....heh.....a lot. $15K out of pocket, $42k total.

Sweet car man! I would love to hook up with you for a ride in a skyline next time I'm in town. Im about an hour south of stl.

[89 GTR R32]

Ya I think I know what Skyline you purchased. Was it on ebay about idk a couple of weeks ago? I think he wanted $42000 BUY IT NOW, but the highest bid was only like in the mid 30s. I was looking into that one but, well I don't really have $42000 and couldn't get a lone for it. But hey congrats on the purchase, I don't regret buying mine at all.

Yea, that was the one.Got chatting with him on email, he called me...we made a deal.

I just had good timing both in seeing the eBay ad for it, getting the money arranged and then being the first one to call him going "I want it"
