Ever found anything weird in your Skyline? - Page 4 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Picked up 3 GTR's today.

In one I found, an industrial winch, a bunch of lights and a wing mirror for a lorry and a bunch of windscreen wiper arms?!?

In another I found a silver shower cap that neatly packs away into a little bag.

What are the Japs like?!!?!?

Never found anything wierd in mine - but when my oil cooler went tits up and it went to Abbey for a new one, the guys found about four foot of coiled up braided hose plumbed into the old oil cooler and bundled into the front airdam. Whoever fitted it probably didn't have a decent tool for cutting braided hosing!

A year and a bit on, and so many new members and imported cars.

So, found anything WEIRD in your Skyline? (get inside the passenger side rear wheelarch/jack storage area)??

Best thread I have read in years!

Last year a mechanic and I were testing out a supercharged Toyota Celsior in Japan before putting it on a ship to send to a friend in the UK. It had been sitting in a grassy lot in Hokkaido for some time. There was a painted fingernail on the front seat. Anyway the mechanic opens the passenger door to get out and a poisonous centipede about 7" long starts poking out of a hole in the body by the front hinge.

He screams and I dive for it, but it backed inside before I could whack it. So we shut the door and sent it to the UK as is! Caveat Emptor!!!

Not so weird, but there was a paintbrush and a nismo gear stick sticker in the driver door pocket. A ticket from some theme park in the passenger door. And loads of transfers/stickers for Work wheels in the glove compartment. Obviously the previous owner removed the wheels and the nismo gear knob when selling it, but left those stickers in to torment me!

Haven't checked under the seats yet.

I found a japenese card in the ashtray .. little sealed plastic thing with Japanese script .. I'm worried about having it translated incase it says some like 'Curse all who drive this car' .. plus found my right rear quarter full of sand, tools and gravel (I guess they didn't have a hoover so brushed all the crap down the side !!!)

I'm going to pull up the rear seats and see what I find .. can't wait.

Nick MW · 3rd March 2006, 11:09 AM

Some Japanese coins, a clip on mirror with pictures of the family that owned it prior to me and the remnants a dead bird in the engine

GTRJack · 3rd March 2006, 02:15 PM

Nothing special in my old R32 but on my current daily ride Honda Accord Sedan V6 I found a living long dark snake (in Thailand)

Luckily not dangerous

Imagine that's feckin scary, shocking! I have no idea how it got in to the back seat of my car.. The funny is I notice this snake while I was refueling the car in a gasstation

SimonM · 3rd March 2006, 02:21 PM

I found the usual assortment of Japanese coins, parking tickets, a maglite torch, and in the rear wing under the jack was a Japanese porn video.

Picture is crap though because it's NTSC and won't play properly on PAL VCRs.

floatindolphin · 3rd March 2006, 02:31 PM

I found a Biltz Dump Valve rolling round in the boot.

In my lovely new Ford Escort 1.6lx (with a sunroof) I found a f'ing hoooooooge Moth in the air vent. shat myself when I blew it out!!!
