NYTSKY Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 When i was installing my PFC i found an empty packet of Jap lollies and a packet of unopened tissues.

Fanta R33GTR Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 When i was installing my PFC i found an empty packet of Jap lollies and a packet of unopened tissues.But to find some coin is way better.Nice find. Oh and what you have there is worth nearly $10 aus I found a photo of a japanese family having dinner at home in the sunvisor to my nissan california work wagon about 3 years ago. I still have it in there till this day. I run into every now and again when I clean the car or go to store things in the visor. They all look so happy and i've left it alone because i feel it brings good karma to the car (not had a ding in it till this day, touch wood) MY GTR came with a J-POP cd in the player, i actually still have that in the glove box in the gtr as well.... also found about 10 gold coins when i was removing the rear seat to run cables for my amp .. looks like they were for a arcade of some sort.. Strange feeling knowing that the car used to be someone elses ride before you got it...

monkeykplunk Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Yeah same here. My flare is still in the holder under the dash, although it ends up on the floor from time to time because of my big-footed g/f I found an un-opened packet of tissues and the original jack and tools in the rear quater. And mine came with the original owners manual book and sleeve including the business card of the salesman!

jeffworld2 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 wow they must have skipped over cleaning out my car. dodgy little fellas had about 20 coins, plastic necklace, real necklace which is now mums, a kenwood cd stacker (despite carrozeria head unit- incompatible) under the passenger seat. paper wise, the whole car was riddled with mcdonalds receipts, parking tickets, coupons for stuff i cant work out, those little sticker-photos of i assume the previous owner and his chicky-babe. all sorts of jazz/ + 1 flare, which was a bit of a letdown when set off. maybe they go off? however- a jack without a handle, and nothing else in the way of tools (pinchy mcwharfie?) also car was delivered to me with 4 inch exhaust, illegal ride height, fibreglass body kit, no air filter and an hks ssqv. oh and 25mm spacers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183197-so-i-was-cleaning-my-car-the-other-day/#findComment-3321917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffworld2 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 i had a great day ripping everything out to find more once i found stuff. it was cool to find maps for the shops on the coupons, so i could have worked out where my car had been to.
