Hey,

I know it seems like I post a lot of pretty basic questions up, but I wasnt a car enthusiast all my life and I missed out on a lot of beginners stuff that most people already know, and I think its better to ask stupid questions than continue on assumed knowledge or no knowledge.

Anyway, Ive attached some photos of stickers and parts on my car that I don't know what they are or what they mean, any information would be helpful.

1: (red/white) is the tyre placard showing what the tyre pressure should be in KPA

Weird...this should have been removed and replaced with an English sticker/plate during compliance.

2 + 5: (ENEOS)

These look like "next service due at" stickers.

AT = Auto Transmission

CV = CV Joint

etc

3 + 4

Where are they ?

They look like amps or something

6: (Green/Black)

Air con information (probably from the last air con service / last time air con was regassed)

7: (Black/White)

Emmissions information ?

3 and 4 are both from Mitsubishi, which confuses me a lot being in a Skyline :)

Its mounted just to the right of the had unit under the steering wheel, to the left of where your leg is sitting toward the clutch.

It has a card slot and the little diagram is directions on how to insert the card.

The theories ive heard about it are that it is a tuner shop details card (but the car is stock), its a credit card swiper (and it might have been a taxi in japan) or that its like one of those cars that can be rented and they have cards to start and time your use.

Im not really sure what it is, but its weird to me that it has mitsubishi written on it

Nah contrary to popular beleif they were never used as taxi's.

Wouldn't be for a tuner / workshop.

Possibly a rental car...

Alot of stuff on Nissans has the Mitsi logo.

On both my Ceffies the Crank Angle Sensor, some other little electrical stuff and bits of the air con have that logo.

Is there any wiring going into those card machines ?

Japan is 10 years ahead of us in technology.

In 2000, the ETC in your Skyline would have been the bee's knee's start of the art niftiest shit ever. A decade later "ours" might be smaller than that, but Japan would have even smaller, faster and smarter ones by now :wub: haha

Your probably right about that... But do you think they eliminated the card system? I mean, considering its a card, it does have a limit to how small it can be.

don't forget, sim cards used to be the size of a credit card.. :P

also they car was probably made big so that it was easy to remove or install if you bought a new car, or if it was something that needed to be replaced often. imagine if your credit card was the size of a sim card. it would be a pain if you had to try and swipe it through a machine everytime you bought something.

Probably because it's made by Mitsubishi Electric, as distinct from Mitsubishi Motors.

(There are numerous "Mitsubishi" companies in Japan, from when the original Mitsubishi conglomerate was broken up by the US following WWII. They all use the three diamonds logo - Mitsubishi literally means "3 diamonds")

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
