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.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
