Hi everyone. My name is John and I'm an American living in Japan. While here I had the chance to pick up a cherry 1990 GTR. I've played with a lot of cars and motorcycles in the past but this is my first skyline. I'm pretty handy and already have a decent mod list going.

Nismo charge pipes

Tomei TI Extreme exhaust

Full nismo suspension/bushings/R-tune coil overs

Alcon 4 pot 355mm front brakes, Akebono 2 pot 350mm rear

D585 coils

Trust 100mm intercooler

ABS Delete

Cusco 1.5way rear diff

Bride Euro seats

Just to name some of the big stuff. Currently have an OS transmission put together and a nismo twin plate coppermix going in as my next project. I've attached some pics. One at the infamous Tatsumi PA, at Tsukuba Circuit, and at Fuji for the annual nismo festival. Hope you like them and happy to meet you all.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
