First car some of you may remember, :

Replaced her with this:

That ended up getting sold and eventually built this which I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with due to my posts on here:

The lease ran out on that so it had to go back...after a long time of being in a shitty car, I finally picked up this:

1991 Skyline GTS-T Type-M
~ 131,000 km's
All bone stock with the exception of a Nardi wheel, exhaust, air filter, and boost gauge.

I bought these for it:

Replacing the rear subframe with one out of an S13 so I can remove the HICAS assembly all together. Going to weld the diff, get some coilovers and some wheels and drift the shit out of it.

Sweet! Where in Texas are you? I know there are a bunch of Skylines running around Texas, but only know first hand of mine and my buddy's white gts-t in Dallas.

Here is a crappy picture of mine:

I bought it in 1998 when I was stationed at Kadena Air Base Okinawa. It was only $6,100 and had about 40,000 KM on it. Mine was an automatic, but the price was right.

I'm in Abilene. I don't have the car anymore, sold it before I left Japan because shipping them through customs at the time was an expensive nightmare.

Damn, looks identical! I bought mine for a tad cheaper than what you paid for yours and am definitely taking advantage of some loop holes to have it here. It's a project / weekend / track car that will spend the majority of its time in a garage so I don't anticipate having any problems with it.

Cool, good luck with it. Only problem I had with mine was the speedometer cable busted and the speed sensitive steering crapped out until I got the cable replaced. Other than that it ran great.

Only problem I'm having so far is the starter...took a crap on me about a week ago but other than that she drives like a new car. I'm so impressed by the features on that car for being 20 years old. It makes my daily driver cobalt look like even more of a piece of shit than it already is and its an 09
