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:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
