afaik they haven't sold soiled ladies undergarments in japan in public for a while. You gotta go to some seedy places or shop on the internet for that. And with all the little girls jumping in on the act to get some pocket money prices are pretty cheap.

You know those sticker booths that poeple seem to associate with asian cultures? I found a sticker in the side door pocket thingy of what I think might have been one of the two previous owners. It's a picture of two guys and they look like the jap equivalent of metro's...

I also found a rag in the wheel well.

There is a switch for fog lights but there are no foglights (Is this standard on type M 32 gtst's? It's above the backwindow heater/demister control) It also came with a bundle of wires and crap that I think might have been for an alarm system.. There are ramdom plugs on the inside of a cabin, and a holster for something that isn't there anymore...

When I opened up the console i found 4 different plugs that didn't go anywhere! One of which looked like an adaptor thingy for an aftermarket head unit...

I found a japanese baseball... some touch up paint - one of which wasn't the colour of my car... and, although I didn't realise at the time so I threw it out, one of those sump plugs with a valve in it...

And my original owners manual... oh and a japanese coin i think... has 100 on it i think...

i found a packet of firecrackers that werent opened in my car when it got here. along with numerous coins, some 'for sale' type banner things for hte front window, and a little log folder type things with other jap stuff written in it.

was meant to set the firecrackers off as celebration when the car got reg'ed for the first time.. i dont know what happened to them.. :S

    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all. 
    • I was chatting with an ex SAU person who is involved in chooning euros now. He was saying the factory cars like Audi VW etc have something like 2000 tables that the ECU uses for getting everything "just right". Compare that back to any aftermarket ECU, and you'd be hard pressed to surpass 50 lookup tables. Even the Ford Barra engine has a few hundred lookup tables to run it (and they're still working some tables out too!)
    • Grab a temp probe, and probe each exhaust inlet runner with it sitting idling. Each one should be pretty darn close to the same temp. If you've got some reading higher or lower than the others, it's likely either air flow isn't equal, or your injectors aren't equal to each other.   The other things to check, is from the wiring changes that were made, were any earth's or grounds moved/changed.   Lastly, for the strut brace issue. It's not perfect, but can you get away with slipping a washer or two under the strut brace to raise it, and it still clean the bonnet? If you can, work out the height you need, that the motor can't torque up into, and get a spacer made for each side.
    • That rusty R32 fuel tank is what we found in Clinton's R32. It has since been replaced with a R32 GTR tank and all it took was a bit of ingenuity in building new fuel tank hangers. I cannot believe how simple the R32 fuel level sender is compared to the R33 unit.
