lol nah the lollies were melted and who knows how old! I found some coins too...

Discovered how terrible the local nissan mechanic was when they told me that had no idea what the 100,000km service needed then proceeded to try and read the full japanese log books... I mean I can read Japanese but it was too much fun to watch them scratch their heads.... clearly I found a different mechanic...

Dont know how many keiko hata's there would be! haha not too many I presume. :happy:

Maybe try and get in touch with them and confirm!?

If so, please let us know how you go ;)

Damn, I wana find something like this in my car so I can track down her original owner and gain a better understanding of her history!

dang. seems to be a popular name.

I'm sorry to let you know that I never owned a Nissan car. Keiko Hata is a fairly popular name in Japan, so I suppose that someone with a same name once owned it, but not me. Hope you find the person someday.

Best,

Keiko

Hey guys and girls (and those of you who fit into both categories),

Have any of you ever found anything cool in your sunvisor pocket? i found a few jap coins and some japanese food receipts! I keep them in there.

Anyone else found anything cool in there? If you havent looked, go now - i'll wait for you.

Or anyone have a tale to tell about stuff they found anywhere else in their car when it was imported?

I love free stuff haha - who doesnt? :devil:

Cheers!

Hi, after the first clean of my skyline I found the flare which i believe was ment to be removed when made compliant, I also found a Japanese sun visor with a stupid ugly cartoon on it.

in addition to the photo of the two jap girls on the sun visor, the other day i was cleaning the car and found under the pass seat a kenwood GPS system and also some japanese coins...

Had my windows tinted the other day and the guy found $ 17.85 AUD$ i went halves with, why not he was honest. when i brought the cat i found a pesel, some weird Jap lollies and a Malaysion coin. and a cd stacker in the wheel arch.

ooh ooh

just found a whole bunch of crap in the boot, in the passanger side wheel arch.

1x rusty 8" Sidchrome shifter

2x screw drivers

1x house phone line wall socket

1x wooden handle screw driver

1x japanese something wrapper covered in what appears to be sticky tar

i was cleaning up the boot and I found some rusty fishing hooks with japanese writing and an empty condom wrapper, also in japanese - which now makes me a bit uneasy when sitting in the back.

Not me, but my mate was replacing a window regulator in his 33 and found two used syringes :S

Some of my mates have found flares.... I want a flare dammit

Just think how many Japanese shoolgirl cherries have been popped in there :D

had a funny rolling noise in the door on hard accel, and decel.

finally opened it up, and found a spray bottle, non aerosol, no idea what it is as theres no english writing on it, im think maybe breath freshener, glasses cleaner, maybe de-oderiser or some sort.

has a small green mint leaf on it, and almost full. no real smell, and im not willing to spray it in my mouth to find out.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
