It is crazy. Found this pic that was taken outside my house in Kindsbach Germany. I bought the 91 SE-R in Germany for 50 Bucks. The original owner bought it in New Jersey and had it shipped to Ramstein AFB. 2nd owner drove it for a while then starter went bad. It was sitting in our dorm parking lot for a while and this was back in 2000. I just started to get into imports and was reading an article about an SE-R in Sport Compact Car. I was like no way this car is an SE-R that is sitting in my dorm parking lot. I ran outside, and sure enough, rear disc, SE-R badge :rofl: I knew the kid that owned it, and ran to his dorm room. I asked him what he was going to do with the car, he says he is going to junk it:eek2: I asked him how much they were going to charge him for the tow. He says $50 bucks, I wrote him a check and he gave me the New Jersey title and it was mine:biggthump
A new starter, and new MAF, it was running cherry. I went with a Hotshot header, Place Racing intake, UR pullies, advance the timing, and a cheap a$$ pacesetter exhaust and short throw shifter. And yes, I was driving this on the Autobahn on a daily basis would see 125 mph and it was legal. Was rolling on a stock suspension then, and it was a bit loose. I chose to post this story because some cars have a unique history. I brought it back from Germany and drove it for 1 year and was stupid to sell it. I sold it for 3G to Shane on this forum. 2 years back at a Nissan meet/car show in Hartford CT I was looking around at some of the classics. I see this one, has a black trunk, it threw me off at first and didn't bother to look at it. Then my by boy Luis wanted to look around again. This time I look more time to closely look at it, there was no rust (my se-r was one of the cleanest I have ever seen rust wise, they don't use salt in Germany), and I notice the sunroof visor that I had put on. I was like :eek2:, I couldn't believe it was sitting there. I hear this Young kid named Corey about 19 was telling someone else that this car was in Germany. He has my name on the reg from Germany and the I tell him I was the owner. It was crazy. He loved the car and it was good to see it still on the road. I wonder where it is now......
