hey guys,

since u got yur cars from nippon, what extra goodies have u found in your car that previous owners have left?

in the sun visor i found hundreds of toll or petrol receipts or something...

inside the door trim i found a weird box module and circuit board that is plugged to absolutely nothing just sitting in there, lots of coins with holes, pens...

right underneath the carpet on the floor of the car, when laying speaker wiring, i found a playing card with a sexy jap girl on it...

and i found what looks like the rubbery mouth bit of a babys dummy wedged into the rear seat cushions...

one of my friend found all these love letters stashed away...

so yeah, what sort of treasures have you guys stumbled across?

i found like a service reciept book. it has NISSAN PRINCE printed on it - prince is for skyline and it has a love heart on it. i will get a pic of it sometime. it has heaps of service reports, sounds like it has been a well looked after car - i would say it might have been owned by a non smoking older business man.

also found a tape but i havent listened to it yet. i hear you can find a bit in the door trims as well....

I found a heap Of JOMO (a petrol station) receipts, 2 of those packs of disposable chop sticks, about 3 photos and some pens. All were In the drivers door. They had fallen through a small crack at the bottom of the drivers door trim and i found it all while installing some new speakers.

yes this is true! , i found a leaflet about a flower garden or something in my driver side trim.

the flare is kept in that little clip in the passenger side foot well near the ecu as skyline33 said. This is used for flagging shit down at the side of the road. i guess if you call a tow truck you get it out and light it up so they can find you.

the flares are located in the passenger footwell (ecu cover)

is THAT what they little holder thing is on the ECU cover??

My gf always scrapes herself on it and she gets sh|ty....always wondered what that was

I gather theres plenty of dark spots with no street lights in japan, youll need some illumination to alert other drivers, or something of that nature

All i found was one receipt for something that costs 300yen, a baby blue hair clip in the back and a chopstick wrapper

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
