Hey everyone, one of the guys over on the GTROC forum (murano3) who also belongs to your group suggested I join this forum. Just figured I'd throw up a quick intro post before I head off for work tonight.

I'm from Las Vegas, NV, currently working as a civilian contractor jet engine mechanic at RAF Lakenheath. I've been in the UK for about two months now, and I'm coming from my previous (awful) contract in Saudi Arabia.

Have a couple of different toys. The one back in storage in the states is a black `99 Camaro SS...



My ride here in the UK is a `94 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Here's a few pics I took while I was over on RAF Mildenhall the other day...









Nothing really done to it (yet). Bought it with an aftermarket intake and exhaust on it already. It's pretty clean and has really low miles for a `94 (only 56k). Have a bunch of stuff on the way for it though, and am currently shopping around for a pair of Garrett GT2860's (-7) for it. Can't wait to finally start turning her up a little bit.

Welcome to BP buddy, love the cars Haven't seen a Z28 on here before, makes a change and the GTR, looks just like Bens when he got his!

Dan, Dan....that's not a Z28, that's an SS! Much more rare and desirable

Nice cars and you guys certainly seem to waste no time in buying your early GTR's when you get here. I always fancied GT-SS turbo's on my old 32 but never got around to it and then there was always the temptation of something simpler like a GT35R.

Having been to Vegas a couple of times, how the Hell do you cope with our weather in the UK? Not been out there since 2005 but the impression of the city is still so clear in my mind......the Venetian really is a great place to stay.

Welcome mate

Doug, hello mate - welcome to Bigpower.

There are a couple of guys from Lakenheath here - Jptuner and V8eater.

Next meet is May - you'll find details in Social Events

Welcome, couple of nice cars you have there.

Doug, have you come to the conclusion that standard R32 GTR brakes are pants yet? .. - get yourself some R34GTR fronts and R33 rears (you'll need bigger wheels for the R34 brembo's though)

Oh and glad to see another Red Pearl R32 .. too many dull wine red's about !! ..

Welcome to bp mate nice veriation of cars
