I currently do not own a Z. I own a Motorexed Skyline GTR with 528 AWHP. I owned my first Fairlady in 1986, it was a 70's Z a really fun car. I'm looking at the new Zs and I'm liking what I see. Maybe I'll pick one up this year

I was holding back pictures and information as this is a Z forum, my apologies here are some. I'm also including a list of Mods.

Hi I'm in WA retired from the Army in 2006. Brought my Skyline from Okinawa in 2004 through Motorex, after 2 years and painfull litigation recovered my car. I'm currently boosting 1.7 but only on race Gas and that nets me somwehere around 528 WHPm being conservative. On 92 I only boost 1.2 and I get around 400 and some change to the wheels. I've owned and driven Skylines since 1987, my wifes first car was a Skyline I bought for $75. I've lived in Japan for a total of 7 years 4 months, studied Japanese at DLI for 13 months. Most of what I know about Japan is from okinawa.
