New Canuck

Hello all.

I'm in the market to purchase a 240 so I figured I would join and gain whatever knowledge I could prior to purchase.

I currently drive a 1989 Skyline Gts-T Type M(RB20det). This is my dream car but it's not the best daily driver and doesn't see winter so it's a no go most of the year in Canada. Not to mention gas prices. I do have a daily driver but I miss the fun of RWD so a 240 needs to join the family.

I posted some pics in the "show and shine" forum of my other car.

I look forward to learning whatever can from all of you.

Canuck is a slang term for Canadian. I have dual citizenship but live in Ontario. I run a skateboard and snowboard shop.
I could daily drive my Skyline but at $1.32/L (94 octane) and getting 350km's per tank it isn't very economical. Not to mention it's only got 84,000km's so I try to take care of it.
Here's some pics. Please note that I do not have decals on my car. This was strictly for the show.

Thanks for the comments and warm welcome. I'll try to find some action shots. I had a little run in wtih a cement object and cracked the front bumper so I figured it was a good time for a light exterior clean-up.
Lots of work currently being done/planned under the hood. I hate waiting for parts.
