R33 Skyline GTS-25T w/ 3" turbo back, and HKS pod, 5-speed series I on stock boost.

Absolute fun to drive in a country that's driving on the other side, overall I don't know what to say other than the car is badass and I was shaking after driving it.

Skyline :smitten:

ahh I did wonder.

The "Absolute fun...." line is a bit ambigious ya see

Here in Texas... I now know two people with them.

It felt fairly slow as far as overall power, but it had more than enough power to be fun. I'd estimate it was putting down 220 - 240rwhp, felt like an SR20DET with raised boost.

It was on standard boost pressure, full 3" exhaust, and an HKS pod filter a quick look at SDU or GTRUK might net a real idea of what it was making.

Hehhe.. well I was still on the "non-proper" side of the road, just on the other side of the car :D

At first my perception was much like this guys: :wack:

But after about a minute of driving everything felt natural. The only thing I had a problem with is that the turn signal's are on the other side of the colomn so once I turned on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal lol. I had a problem with the gear shifter but thats just because it was standard and a little worn, so it required really long shifts, I had been driving my mate's CA powered S13 with the new short shifter the night before so I was kinda spoiled.
