First thing I did was check for any stuff in my car - found 10,000 JPY in drivers door.

In passenger door pocket found a neatly folded plastic bag from a convenience store - assume it was a vomit bag.

In the boot found sunglasses case.

Chewing gum

Brown Leaves

Dead Insects

I found a tape of love songs obviously made for the wife/new owner of the car who got it dated '96 and was somewhere up under the boot pannels - appeared in the boot out after I did some hard driving :) Most of it was in English language.

oh yeah and a cigarette lighter

i found a speeding ticket ONTOP of the glovebox lid (if u get what i mean)

it was sorta shoved in there, must have been out of anger, i accidently found it

116 in a 100zone

thats all i understood from the ticket, but iv got the guys name, address and phone number

iv been tempted to track him down :P

other sh|t i found i posted in the older thread

hey he probably wanted you to find that cause it was confiscated cause he lost his licence and wants new owner to contact him so that he can tell you the story and get a reminiscient ride in the car.

hmm I didn't find any hair, just moisturising cream on the door carpet trim near the inside handle, and fingernail scratch marks on the external door handle sockets.

Very clean woman. Japanese money smells nice like :P The air filter was black with cigarette smoke but the car didn't have a speck of dust in it. Those air filters work really really well. Smells real nice. The BP ultimate keeps perfuming the car too :mad:

I wonder how long those flares actually are still able to work for - I got one too. Past its official safety use by date though. Why oh why can't I buy replacements? I reakon its the fear of bush fires started by flares. But it would be far better if I had a new one in the car instead of an old one that might not work when that train is coming toward me out in the country. Yes, I've seen a train run into a car in front of me when I was visiting Qld.

i also have labelling tape with japense writing on it in my drivers door well ..... love to know what it says.

The labelling tape is usually related to servicing, there should be either kms [numbers] or a date or something too if you check??? Related to service intervals, it probably just says *Change Filter 50,000ks* or something :D

Sounds to me like somebody got a little action in your car before you bought it :D Are you sure its moisturiser?:) I mean, scratch marks and moisturiser? Cmon!!! :)

Found a defect notice [i think, something to do with the ds tyre, thats where it was red stamped], a passport pic of the ??previous owner??, and a heap of fuel dockets.

Been tempted to contact the owner, the defect notice has a name, licence info and address on it.

Knowing your original mileage and how much circuit racing the car has done would be handy to know, although it'd probably make me cry if I knew the 'real' truth.

No geisha's, no yen, no drugs, no bullet holes, no yakuza

i found that someone must have spilt chocky milk in the boot. i threw the boot carpet in the washing machine but the board over the spare still smells a little...

lots of marks in the consol plastic stemming from ill aimed attemps at cigarette extinguishing. some 800 wet & dry plus cutting wax got them out.

no drugs unfortunately :cheers:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
