It's not the fastest being a GTS25T, but it's clean and solid. I need to take it to an independent shop to look it over, but it came with a 2 year JCI, and it hasn't been on Okinawa for more than a couple of months. It's a 1996 sitting at around 90,000km. I'll get better pictures when I get my camera and get the car detailed. It rained a lot yesterday so it's already dirty.

Only plans I have right now are changing out the headlights to something a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I've got no plans for the motor until I have it thoroughly checked over, though upgrading the exhaust from the stock set comes to mind. Also the guy that wired the stereo did a terrible job so I'm going to redo the wiring and probably put in a system with GPS since these roads are 'interesting' to navigate.

I do contract work for the Marine Corps, satcom mostly. Being a veteran has it's perks for job locations.

Have any suggestions for upgrades? I'm not much of a tuner, I've just always wanted a skyline.

If you get to decide your next location, why not hit up the mainland? I believe there is a Marine Corps base in/near Tokyo. More room to move around and stretch the cars legs on occasion.

And, there is a pretty large Skyline goup that does meets once a month in Yokohama. Good group of people and a good chance to network over here. Plus, I live on the mainland and am always looking to meet more gaijin.

First and foremost, exhaust, intake and boost up. Easiest to get done and net you the most bang for the buck as far as easy installation/hp.

A reflashed/tuned ECU is another way to net some hp.
