hmmmm i think i must search my car now!

all i have found was a screwdriver which fell from somewhere behind the stereo when i was tinkering back there oh and the stereo case for the removable face

old thread but still interesting..

I found a 10,000 yen note neatly folded in half tucked in passenger side door pocket, it smelled like thick cigar smoke. But I put it in a wallet for safe keeping with a stack of US dollars and can't find it now.

I also found a 24hour shop plastic bag folded very tightly into a four inch long strip in the passenger door pocket.

Found a japanese casette tape in the boot, seems it was a tape made for a female spouse to listen to, sort of made a story on the themes (all the songs had both English and Japanese in the lyrics).

Also a parking permit sticker on the back window, now removed.

Had a sat nav that didn't work properly and a tv which only picked up one tv station here.

The puretron filter works but I really want to know where I can buy replacement filters for it.

I also found the flare, its a nice red tube thing with a lid.

i found what looks like japanese parking permits or something... maybe a train ticket lol i dunno

and a instruction manual and warranty card for HID lights which my car used to have, (aftermarket not GTR ones or anything)

fairly annoyed they got taken out :) but oh well

An electronic Motorway card facilitator that talks in Japanese with a female voice.

TV with attachments to the 2 aerials

CD player is cactus - but would like to have it repaired so the car looks stock

A handwritten note to some one named yakusa

after 1.5yrs+ of owning the car. One night while working on the car i had the fluorescent light really close to the and notice very faint writing on the drivers door

then i had to put the light on certain angle and i could read what it said. it was the lame apexi blitz momo shopping list lol, ex-ricer car. dunno if it from an owner in aus or japan

Only had my car about 2 and a half weeks, however i got a turbo timer which the car wasnt ment to have. It was hidden up in the steering column.. Also i was removing the gear stick boot and founds a big phillips head screw driver. Also my ash tray was full of dirty asian ash and i had remains of asian water with my spare tyre. But i havent looked in door trim or behind the back seats or anything yet...

the best thing my 33 came had from japan was a funky flashing interior light.. it had a couple of l.e.d's that would slowly flash blue and red and green, like they were dancing... its awful and awesome at the same time... and a shiteload of coinage and pencils when i stripped the interior.

I also found some hungarian ham wedged down the side of the boot when i stripped it out, was from coles deli dunno how long it had been there... didnt unwrap it, didnt look at it, just got rid of it.

yea a while back in the boot of my r32 GTR where the oil is in the boot the one that controls your 4wd system you put your arm in there and you will find stuff and on the opposite side where the jack is reach deep i found a LED light thing that goes into the cigaret lighter its sick all jap writing on it and i found stickers and random stuff and i got the flair as well and i found this love heart thing means good luck in japanese and i keep it hanging off my rear view mirror.

A part of a marijuana pipe... in my fathers former skyline (we noticed a strange noise, took the front apart and found it)... How do I know its a pipe for marijuana?.... ... .... *runs away*

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
