One of the joys of bringing down a car by yourself is that you know exactly what happens to a car... and you get to keep documentation that might be useful in japan... for example, barring the service logs I also got these...

Reciepts to car washes, parking permit reciept (so I know where the car was parked by its previous owner), a membership to something like NRMA or RACV down here, recipt and manual for my extractors n exhaust, etc etc.

Here's a sample of what i've got...

Im guessing, but i think you CAN get personalised plates...cos if i remeber corectly one of the HPI vids has a car with 3040 and it was a HKS development car with a 3040 turbo on it

i know this is an old thread, rather continue here than start a new one again. just looking for updates on tracking info of previous history of car. More looking for what prefecture my car possibly would have been from etc? can the vin plates give info to investigate etc?

yeah, i want to find the right prefecture etc so i can put on the right plates from where it came from.

This will probably turn out to be a massive waste of time and not guaranteed even if it does work but check your car for any stickers or any paperwork you have for this kanji 県 which is prefecture (-ken) if you check the preceding kanji with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefectures_of_Japan you might find some leads. However if you find 府 or 都 or 道 check the website as it may have been in Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido or Tokyo. Check inside of your door frames as well as under the bonnet and also on the diff housing as it may have had a sticker put on it if/when serviced. Check everywhere you can be bothered. To be honest though I think it wont really get you anywhere but if you are desperate it might help.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.

      New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.

      So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!
