Hi Guys,

I have a rather odd request, and I was hoping someone in Japan might find it in them to give me a hand :) But first, the story.

Once upon a time...... ...... I bought a Skyline R32 GT-R from Japan. As some of you may know, it recently arrived. Anyway, apart from being a Grade 4 car it also had (notice the tense) log books.

However, when I went to pickup the car there were no log books. I have spoken directly to the supplier who purchased the car at auction and he said that a) he doesn't have them and B) its not at all uncommon for this to happen as the onus is on the seller to send them on, and they often don't.

Anyway, as luck would have it there was a vanity plate in my car from a car dealer. Putting two and two together I assume this is the company the sold the car through the auction system. It turns out they are called "Total Automobile Excellent" or "TAX" -- http://www.tax.co.jp/

Anyway, I was wondering if one of the Japanese breatheren would take pity on me and perhaps contact TAX on my behalf and enquire if they still have the log books in there possesion?

Thanks guys.

Lucien.

PS. Before anyone jumps up and down and assumes this was some huge conspiracy to hide the true odo readings, the mechanic that complied the car said it was one of the straightest examples he had seen and in his opinion the kilometeres were genuine. My interest is really for provinence reasons more than doubting the odo reading.

In all honesty Lucien I think we'd just get told that they dont have the log books full stop, end of story. These guys dont want to know about the car after sale, even less so after the thing has been exported...

Hey,

On one side you're lucky its only your log books. In my case in bringing in my soarer, i had the 12 Stacker 'Dissappear', the sun visor broken, some electronics hastily removed (bare wires, etc) and some other niggles with the transport company and wharfies.. on top of having my log books 'go'! So yeah.. just my 2 ¥en

Your service records, in all probability, would have been in the 'other' manual (ie: not the one that tells you what goes where and what to push). I can't see why they would remove that from the vehicle, before export - unless it's policy to clean out the glovebox

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
