Hi,
I posted in the dakotans area so most I'm sure didn't know me. Been postin in the Parking lot though.
I'm Chad and from Williston, ND. Born and raised here. Joined the Navy after High School and spent 10 years seeing the world. One of the main reasons I joined the Navy was to get outta here and also I always dreamed of going to Japan. I got really lucky after boot camp and got orders to NAF Atsugi Japan and spend a few years there. I loved it. Came back to the States and then back to Japan for the next 6 1/2 years. That's when the import bug bit me. But it was the domestic bug because I was in Japan at the time. I owned a 84 Nissan Skyline GT. I loved it. Couldn't bring it back to the States then. It was inline 6, Tubo 5-speed and RWD. A monster! I did a shit load of stuff to it, paint, suspension exhaust, intake, boost control you name it. Only thing I didn't get done was FMIC and turbo/engine upgrades. It was enough. I also owned a 91 Nissan Silvia Q's. Automatic, n/a. It was the daily driver.
Got out in 1998 and came back to ND, soon followed by my Japanese wife, Yayoi. Bought a 95 Talon ESI but after about a month of owning it needed something more. Traded it in for my 95 GSX and have done the 97 body conversion with new paint and other stuff. (MBC, 1G BOV, LICP, UICP.....)
Will be moving to Florida next fall. Gotta get outta the cold and snow. I'm sick of only being able to work on my car about 3 months out of the year.
That's about it for me. Nice to meet you all and see you on the boards.
