Only had my car about 2 and a half weeks, however i got a turbo timer which the car wasnt ment to have. It was hidden up in the steering column.. Also i was removing the gear stick boot and founds a big phillips head screw driver. Also my ash tray was full of dirty asian ash and i had remains of asian water with my spare tyre. But i havent looked in door trim or behind the back seats or anything yet...

Further on from this.... I got my car tinted yesterday and when the tinter removed my door trim he found a weird asian menu along with a few Jap receipts from an Electirical store.... The guy bought DVD - RH for 9110YEN.... so thats $91.10 i guess it was fora DVD player and not just the blank discs hey....

When I ripped out the seats in the 32 GTR I found a few coins of Yen and a whole heap of fluff, I still have the parking permit on the rear window and the Jap rego on the front window.

Also found a Jap-model Turbo timer under the steering column tucked up. It still works, it was just turned off! I can't work out how to use it properly, so I just disconnected it.

This thread has me curious now, though! Tonight I'm gonna rip off the door trims and search in the boot haha

Oh and my space saver tyre is still the original one with Japanese writting all over it. Never been used.

My Front Number Plate Holder is SPRING-LOADED...

so that when travelling at speed, the Japanese Number Plate would tuck in underneath to a horizontal position. :bunny:

I don't think it works though on a thin 'Premium Plate'.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
