when i purchased my gtr, the owners brother(owner wasnt there, everything was legit, so all good), handed my os giken twin plate(needed rebuild).

looked underneth, had tien coilovers.

trust 4inch cooler.

tuned y pipe, 3inch cat and cat back.

those were the parts i didnt know of.

did you check and see how good the ah 'mines ecu' under the back seat was, or did you just throw it out?

Tossed it ,it was not in very good condition,i think it had been there a while.

Edited by I gotta R34gtr v-spec

I bought my 34 a long time ago.. About 2 years after i bought it i went to install red bulbs behind my dash. I took the dash apart then went reaching in behind there and found some wires that seemed a bit "out of place".. So i looked up under there and followed the wires back and found a Greddy full auto turbo timer sitting in there!? hidden amongst all the other wires. All i had to do was turn it back on and mount it and boom. Free turbo timer. :D Also found a Japanese jdm game token coin like thing under my seat..

Found a 1979 20cent piece behind the roof vinyl interior of my 1981 Stanza. So I can only assume the coin was lost there while the car was on the assembly line. Still have the coin somewhere....

Found yellow jackets tucked down the left side of my r32's boot still in there packets! (Hopefully will fit my rb20) :)

Was looking at buying rear hicas lock bar.. Had a look underneath and already had one :)

Nismo front strut bar with Nismo stamped into it (hopefully genuine.. Not sure if those are even rare..

And last but not least about $18 worth of shrappaz!

In my 33 i Found split fires, dodgy wiring in the tail lights, really old jdm gaff tape in the doors, wierd wires all through the car, a USB with the guys birth certificate license and all his tickets, jdm coins, aus coins $14 worth, Japanese rego sticker

And the classic dried up maccas chip

4 children's nursery rhyme CDs behind the dash, played that shit all day!

Shell battery from Japan? You can't buy them here.

Shell service stickers all over and in the car from Japan.

On my gf car I found a threaded head with the spark plug sitting on top and some more threaded bolts on the thermostat housing. It was a fluke it even ran.

found tanabe GF210 on my stock springs heh i knew them orange springs were weird! also found the lock nut key from previous owner's set of nuts, which he had the tyre guys smash off, thus running only 4 nuts (until i bought a new set of nuts). what a nub. it was in the compartment which had the spare tyre jack in it, i noticed something rolling around inside.

    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT  
    • Haha good old Letterkenny! If you're looking for another great english canadian comedy, I strongly recommend Trailer Park Boys.
