Well last night i was driving along in my car, as you do in a car, and to my surprise something started obstructing my feet from braking and pushing the clutch. It didn't affect it to the point where i couldn't use them it was just very annoying to use the brakes and clutch.

To my surprise, a greddy turbo timer had dropped down. It isn't connected or anything but i was surprised to find it. I don't have a turbo timer so this might be good for me. I am surprised that the guys installing my alarm didn't tell me anything about it.

Now the questions come to mind that has my car been as stock as a rock as it was said when i bought the car for it's whole life. I have also found out that the speed limiter has been removed. I am not sure if my mechanic removed it when he did my clutch because he also took the restricter out aswell. I had gotten to 180 before i gave it to him but i never tried going over and after the restricter was out i tried to test out if it was there and it wasn't.

So what are your thoughts guys.

I wouldn't mind a free greddy turbo timer........I wish one fell out of my car and into my hands......let me know if a powerfc drops out of your car too...I'll have it hahahaha jokes man :D

But yeah, was your car imported in the last couple of years?

Mine was. It had modifications before it came to australia and it was taken back to stock to get complied. I'm the second owner of the car in australia, and the first owner didn't say anything to me about it having modifications prior to it coming to australia.

It was a bit of a shock cause i thought something broke off. I just checked then and 2 powerfc's fell out. I'll send one over to you :lol:. I WISH.

My car was imported in january this year and i got the car about 15 days after it got complied. Technically i'm not the first owner but i bought the car of a guy who does the importing. It had only done 50km in australia since being complied.

It had an aftermarket stereo and it had some holes inside the car where something was mounted but i'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was modified maybe it wasn't. I'm guess it was more than stock though before aus. It does have 33 gtr rims on it and it is a white 1990 model so it would have been resprayed because i don't think they came out in white that year.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
