How's it

I live in Japan about an hour outside of Tokyo. I just bought a 1995 RZ from a friend and builder of the car. He did a lot of research and put a lot of time into making the car what it is. Unfortunately there are a couple issues that I have to resolve before I can start driving it.

My soon to be previous car is a 95 Nissan Silvia that I built up for time attack. I had a lot of fun with the car and surprised quite a few of the locals on the track. I was looking at getting a S15 (last body style of the Silvia) when I heard my buddy was selling the 7. I had always liked the looks of the FDs and heard nothing but praise for their handling.

So here I am hoping the rain subsides so I can try to fix the issues it has and get her on the road.

Welcome. What mods do you have? Pics?

Let me direct you to the 3rd gen FAQ thread. Lots of good info in there that I use regularly when issues pop up.

The mods list is pretty substantial. I'll make a garage thread for it when I get a chance. From the top of my head GT35R single conversion on a HKS cast manifold; less than 3000KM on new motor with version 6 irons, rotors, and housings, builder's home brew side port; 52mm wastegate; 572cc primary and 1680cc secondary injectors; HKS twin power ignitor; 4 x NGK9s; Power FC and datalogit; 32 pass oil coolers; aluminum radiator; 3 core front mount; battery relocated to passenger side compartment; a bunch of chassis stiffening braces; rotary performance launch kit; 12 point roll cage; FRP hood; Cusco Zero 2E suspension; Mazda Speed 4 pots with Bonez rotors; ORC twin metal clutch; Cusco transmission internals; Mustang 3.9 in diff; strengthened drive shaft. My buddy loved the car and just went crazy with it.

Thanks for the tip, I've been looking around on here for the past few days and am already learning. I also ordered the FJO injector driver and a couple other things due to some information out there.
