Well last night i was driving along in my car, as you do in a car, and to my surprise something started obstructing my feet from braking and pushing the clutch. It didn't affect it to the point where i couldn't use them it was just very annoying to use the brakes and clutch.

To my surprise, a greddy turbo timer had dropped down. It isn't connected or anything but i was surprised to find it. I don't have a turbo timer so this might be good for me. I am surprised that the guys installing my alarm didn't tell me anything about it.

Now the questions come to mind that has my car been as stock as a rock as it was said when i bought the car for it's whole life. I have also found out that the speed limiter has been removed. I am not sure if my mechanic removed it when he did my clutch because he also took the restricter out aswell. I had gotten to 180 before i gave it to him but i never tried going over and after the restricter was out i tried to test out if it was there and it wasn't.

So what are your thoughts guys.

I wouldn't mind a free greddy turbo timer........I wish one fell out of my car and into my hands......let me know if a powerfc drops out of your car too...I'll have it hahahaha jokes man :D

But yeah, was your car imported in the last couple of years?

Mine was. It had modifications before it came to australia and it was taken back to stock to get complied. I'm the second owner of the car in australia, and the first owner didn't say anything to me about it having modifications prior to it coming to australia.

It was a bit of a shock cause i thought something broke off. I just checked then and 2 powerfc's fell out. I'll send one over to you :lol:. I WISH.

My car was imported in january this year and i got the car about 15 days after it got complied. Technically i'm not the first owner but i bought the car of a guy who does the importing. It had only done 50km in australia since being complied.

It had an aftermarket stereo and it had some holes inside the car where something was mounted but i'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was modified maybe it wasn't. I'm guess it was more than stock though before aus. It does have 33 gtr rims on it and it is a white 1990 model so it would have been resprayed because i don't think they came out in white that year.

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
