I've had my 33 for about 2 years now and yesterday I found this in my sun visor.

I'm assuming it's a parking ticket of some sort.

It's kinda kool to know that my line was somewhere in Japan on the 17-Oct-04. About 1 year before I bought it.

Because I was told I was the first Aussi owner. And this kinda proves it.

Anyone here able to translate it? So I can Google Map the location ;)

Be kool to see the streets it would have been belting around at the time.

Yea i found the old service sticker inside my fuel door. Only problem was they did the 120 000 K's service but the odometer had 85 000 K's on the clock when i picked up the car up.

Sticker is dated 4/10/2004.

new speedo maybe??

dodgy seller lol??

when my white 33 landed over here from Japan, i found a few japanese silver coins and my rear ashtray was filled with some sort of nice scented little gel silica balls. I chucked em out straight away, but that same nice scent still hasnt left the car today!

lol, did you call Crime Stoppers or missing persons?.....I didn't know Nissans came from France?! :laughing-smiley-014:

:nyaanyaa:

haha well first when i saw it im like, ok so i paid how much for customs to check my car? and i find a dead frog in there as soon as i got the thing home. i guess quarantine doesnt really matter all that much haha.

im not the first owner from japan but mine had the factory books with it cant read none of it

the 350z and onwards have Renault engines, that French enough for ya :down:

when i open the flap thing to fill up petrol,theres a bunch of little stickers like you get on oranges and apples stuck there but there little fuel brand stickers. can remember them off the top of my head

but their still in there.i like em

And found an awesome golf club in the boot tucked up in the boot hinge racks.

Clean GTS-t, it looks like a parking ticket to me - says something about "Day Camp" on there, which might be an all-day parking place.

Those balls are awesome! The sell them in bottles, and I always get a bottle or two every time I go to Japan. The only stuff I've found that 100% deodorises the stale cigarette smell.

Or it could have just had it's odometer wound back like 95% of imports that come in without a service history.

That's actually changed a fair bit lately - kms from the last two times each car was regoed are now listed on export certificates for every car leaving Japan.

There are some strange things coming over in our lines. LOL

about 4m of fiber optic cables under the rear set with no connection plugs and not going anywhere

Might have been a custom audio install gone wrong :P

i found a dried up frog in my car when i got it fresh from japan.

Customs were on the ball that day :P

Yeah I need to learn some other languages. Would be good to know what your looking at.

Must have been someones defense stick :down:

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
