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!

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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
