Welcome to the forum!

I never imagined an FTO to be in Russia, that's awesome!

Looks like you have put a lot of work towards restoring yours, it certainly paid off and it looks great!

How does it cope with the frost and below freezing temperatures? I hope the heater works :lol:

by nature, I'm an esthete. And Swat on the turbo I'm not interested. I admire the exterior of the PIF. I wanted to make an excellent stock condition. Almost reached their goals.
plans to buy good wheels and aero spoiler.... and 2nd rear-drive cars (180SX-240SX, or if you have enough money 350z)
drunken pedestrian was taken away soon with a cut eyebrow and injuries. The next day he was discharged from hospital.

I've spent a lot of time in Moscow, and always wanted to go to St. Petersburg but never found the opportunity. I've been told it is really nice there though, and people are much more polite
