Hey all, I have recently done a few moves!
I just moved from Nassau, Bahamas to Orlando, Florida to take up automotive performance at UTI. I've also moved from a 1990 Nissan 180sx to my current love, my Silver 1994 GS300.

I must say, I've always loved the Aristo, twin turbo luxo sedan from my 2nd fav country? Shoot. I should've gotten one sooner. My only problem is that the GS doesn't come turbo (Americans always get the short end of the stick when it comes to Japanese cars aye?)

Well, a couple of things on my near-perfect GS need rectifying, so I'll just start perusing the forums.

Welcome to the Club.

It is a pretty simple thing to take care of that little "no turbos" problem.

it just says "I want new rims and a body kit daddy" doesn't it?


Yes, that is a problem isn't it? have to make sure the window closes properly or I hear a lot of road noise and water would probably be able to get in...

oh puny exhaust, how I yearn to upgrade thee...


Holy cracked and chipping woodgrain batman! I need a fix! any suggestions?

Welcome Florida resident !! Dash kit can take care of the cracking wood trim. I've had good luck with those from woodtrim.com. They have the overlay for the center shift plate. See ya around.

had a feeling. But that's what I'm going to UTi for. Whichever I choose I'll be able to do the install myself w/some friends.


I'm contemplating diving into installing the amp for my sub myself. I've always done the audio installs in my cars, why stop now?
