If so, are you going to the HOT Import Nights show August 3rd at the COnvention Center. I've that there will be Skylines their. If so I'll be the dork drooling over them.

I recently moved from Irving. While I've lived in here the car has been out only a few times. You will be seeing it out a lot more.

Thanks! Age really makes a difference, I'm 30 and I was happy to move back into a house. Beats apartment living anyday, even when I traded a 200 yards of walk to work into a 20min drive.

Don't forget to shot me a hollar when you get that SKLINE back I'd love to see it.
A friend of mine has a Red 3rd Gen. Rx7 TT, and another has a Gray 2nd Gen. Trbo 2 Rx7. You may have seen them running around alot.

We all graduated from Lewisville High this year.

HIN was alright, i was kinda upset that there were some domestic cars there (i.e. an 80's mustang, camaro, and a neon). not to mention that most of the cars there were civics. and NO skylines. they even a prelude dressed up as a silvia. the only redeming factor there was next to the car was an rb26dett. i suppose i'm makin it sound worse than it really was, i think we can blame that on my high expectations.

Nissan North America inquired about the possibility of having my car on the show. Too bad it's not running at the moment, might have been there otherwise. Then again, it's not a show car and is almost completely stock in the looks department.

heh, still woulda been better than most of the cars there.

christoph84 · #11 08-08-2002, 12:35 PM

I don't I have ever been more dissapointed. There was nothing but a bunch of Rice er' Roni C vic's and Hon' Das. The only cars worth while was the Fairlady Z (300 ZX) and the few trbo Supras. Did I forget to mention the hot half naked chicks!!!!!

But all jokes aside, I think the parking lot had more of an attraction than inside. My Rx7 buddies and I all went together. We ended up rollin in w/about 10 Rx7. (A few 1st & 2nd gens.) Oh yeah I saw the fake ass Silvia somebody mentioned w/ Carbon Fiber hood (POS)...
There were two Skylines in the parking lot. One was a put together half ass R32, while the other was a real R32.

Did you catch the license plate on the R32, was it Texan? Color?

fmsk8r · #13 08-08-2002, 01:17 PM

are you talkin about that purple "silivia" out front? cause i saw that crap and it just made me and my buddies crack up. but you're totally right, the car park had so many nicer cars

christoph84 · #14 08-10-2002, 12:32 PM

The Silvia that I am talking about was actually a 240SX, WHITE w/the Silvia front end w/a carbon fiber hood. It was kinda trashy lookin.

The fake Skyline had Texas plates and was white
The real one had California plates and was gray.

Sucks for people that have to go back to school on Monday

FYI, my car is back on the streets again, the wait is over. Took it to a dyno but didn't manage to get any runs complete as it broke the dyno...

Need new tires as it was a nasty incident, getting off the dyno at those numbers (someone said it was showing 330awhp at the time but not sure), really peeled off the tires unevenly and left the car handling quite badly.

It's running good, a little rough on low rpms (272/272 cams), fast. CTC is going to put in O2 sensor and finish tuning. Maybe I will then try again, this time 2w dyno to be a little safer.
