My first FD... Finally!

Hi All,

From the UK originally where I had a Nissan Silvia (S14a), loved that car and it served me very well, basically bullet proof, then I sold it and went travelling.

Fast forward 5 years or so of having no boost in my life and I've bought my first rotary! 97 Bathurst X fresh from Japan, I'm living in New Zealand which makes me the first owner outside of Japan.

More or less completely standard with ~115k KM on the clock.

True to reputation it developed a misfire within 4 hours or so of my ownership and it develops a new problem everytime I drive it :/ that's fine though as I don't mind a challenge

Gotta say when it is running right it's fantastic!

No plans to modify it yet apart from for reliability, I've had it compression tested twice already for peace of mind, makes around 95psi consistantly across all 6 tips.

Enough of my waffle:

Gotta say I liked it even more when I saw it in person.

Haha thank you, I'll swap for some OEM recaros

The drivers side seat could do with some love, does anyone know a good place for leather care/upholstery in the Wellington region?

Exciting! Are you based in Welly?

Finding it hard to find any car communities around the area.
