   Hi,
my name is Antonio, I live in Portugal and am a bit of a nissan freak.
I have a micra 93 1.3 super s, and now my new pride and joy, a 98 P11 GT with 76.000km in mint condition. 

Got it 1 week ago, and the only immediate care it needed was new brake pads and discs as it was still on the factory ones.
got a set of brembo oem (front pads and front and rear discs)and even with 15km on them it feels a lot better. as soon as they bed in, I hope they improve the braking marginally. 

As far as the handling goes, on stock factory suspension and after 15 years, it feels a bit bouncy, specially in the back, but it amazes me how well is the handling and turning at high speeds. I can only imagine how this car must handle on a set of good shocks and with new tires and suspension bushes all around... 

cant push it much as the 5 year old tires are not too forgiving... but overall, I love it. can honestly say that after my old mx5, this is by far the only car I enjoyed so much in terms of handling. 
And I had a 206 RC... 

joined this forum to seek advice in LOTS of questions I have regarding the car and engine, and  to contribute as much as I can... but above all to share the passion I have for my car with people that know what I am talking about!  

things to do: 
general stuff like new oils, check plugs, etç, and new tires, 4-2-1 manifold and backbox. (stock is falling apart)

thanks and sorry for the long introduction, but its my first P11 GT so  I am sure you can cut me some slack... :)
