Newbie - GS300 in Paris
Just saying hi finally and getting my first few posts here.
Been a member for a few months now generating infomation etc.
Got my one in September,and my sister now also has a IS200,and my best mate also has an IS200.
I've had a '93 Civic VTi (B16 Twin Cam model),then had an R33 Skyline GTS-T,which i sold to germany and then got this.
So far it's standard apart from a new gear ****,buying new bits for ICE at the moment,already got the Metra dash conversion,awaiting for the by-pass amp lead and then got to buy myself some Alpine Type-R speakers
Here's a pic of my car in Paris,at the Louvre,and then at Notre Dame,followed by a random photo in Calasis,and finally a normal picture of my car.
I actually live in the UK,Birmingham to be exact,but took the GS on a road trip to Paris in October
FYI,i slept in the car one night and it was comfortable considering it's only a car!

thanks,my friend has a few with the Effiel tower aswell,just got to get the pictures off him,next time i'll use a better camera to!
the first 2 pictures were taken about 3am
Plans for now include getting the ICE sorted,and getting the 100% mechanically,with a service etc,and getting rid of that stupid vibration at speed,though it keeps me within the speed limit,lol.
After that,lower the car down and some tints,this is my daily driver so nothing outragous,the R33 GTR will be for that when i get one in the summer hopefully.

thanks guys,i really hope my mates got a better pic of the first one as he got a much better camera than me!
the metra dash conversion to convert the radio/tape player to a single din unit so i can put in my head unit
i'll get a pic of the IS200 up,basically the first shape IS200 that came out,we got the 2.0l version here
and the skyline issue,well long story short we've had 6 Skyline,R32 GTS 2.5 Non turbo to an R33 GTR,here's some pics:
This went from this
To this after the new owner spun on diesal
