New to this Forum, info about my car and a few pics

[edthemanjp]

I've been on the Freshalloy forum for some time and I recognize some of the names over here. I'll introduce myself. I own a 1992 Nissan Skyline GTR that I purchased from a Plastic Surgeon on Okinawa. He had to sell this car because he'd just bought one of only 400 made, special edition STI and didn't have the parking space allocated for this car. I got a great deal. I imported this car through Motorex in Feb 2004, this is my retirement gift from the military from my family. I picked up my car from CA in Feb 2006 after having to pay a high priced lawyer to get it back. Through this process I learned more about the import process than I really wanted to know and I also met some good people and some bad people.

I have added a list of current mods and a few pics enjoy

Welcome, thank you for protecting our country, and damn nice ride.

Quick question, though -- why did you decide to go non-hicas?

The rear steer is not much of an added benefit its on below 70km. Some people have said it also comes on after 160km, I've read nothing about this and if it did this is not something I would want to break or not function properly at those speeds. Since I won't be using it I've removed it
