Well ..... mine was my mates WRX impressa evoII.... scared the shit outa me ....hehe after that all i caould vision was a turbo import .. so i got me a nice 97 180sx white with yellow interior .....but got hit up the ass at 100klm pu tme in hospital then after all that i bought another 180 wich i own still and love it ....!

first time tasting the sweet motion of boost was in my mates r33 gtr i was 15 at the time and he was a 40yr older.. I wonder who is to blame for my passion of the skyline. but the car was to expensive to buy, after some research in came some of the more budgetable skylines... :D gts25t and so on.. first time actually driving on boost.. VL turbo... nothing better then driving wit your heart pounding...

  • 3 weeks later...

My VERY first taste of boost was in my dads porsche... however i was WAY too young to remember it lol and because i came he had to sell it... typical.

The first time i had ever ridden in and driven a Turbo car was when i was 16yo and my dad had a Twin Turbo Mitsi GTO which was modified. OMG i instantly fell in love and became a bost junky.... until i realsed cars in australia to this caliber were still selling for 40k+ (born and raised in NZ, his car sold for 17k).

It was the car i learnt to drive in while in NZ on holiday and it had a porsche gearbox in it which was ultra smooth and short... awesome car.

I lost my virginity to a turbo silvia on 18psi grin ear to ear.

First drive was R33 GTS-T and since then have been re born that's why I'm clawing at the walls for the next 3 months till I can get mine. I'm having with drawl symptoms....... come on mate just give us another shoot of boost just a little for the road? :drooling: :nowigetit :nowigetit :boinkcar:

Mine was about 2 years ago when I was looking to import my first Skyline. My dad and I met up with the importer who was a friend of my dads. We met him at a servo on his way home and he threw us the keys to the R33 GTR V-Spec sumthing he was driving. He had just picked it up fromthe docks and it still had some type of semi slicks on it and from my memory (I knew jack all then) it had aftermarket turbs, pods, brakes etc etc. This thing was so fast is scared both me and my dad :D Never looked back since and still by far the quickest car I've driven.

had to be a skyline.... 1979 4 door something (not up with the model numbers from back then) has an L28-ET conversion, which is largely a custom build me thinks...runs ~ 22psi and OMG... zoom zoom bloody zoom zoom... scary stuff - specially with 17yr old driver - carazy man !! :headspin:

Currently ANY 32 turbo is in my sights... NA skylines nice, but turbo = even better !!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
