Not sure, I took em off before Rego.

Mind you they weren't as wide as the widest part of the car...

2000 Legnum VR4 Type S
Minje came with a can of Asahi beer under the passenger seat (unopened), and 1 yen! Oh and a set of tyres! Not sure where or why I got the set of tyres, but who am I to complain! I got in trouble with the people at Toll over it, even though I had no idea I even had a set of tyres in the boot!

I think I may also have some aftermarket speakers, they sound amazing! couldnt possibly be standard speaker...I need to take the door trims off and have a look.

Do you have a aftermarket deck in there? I just recently put a JVC deck in there and the speakers are quite impressive. They didn't sound that good with the factory deck though...

Facelift Manual 400hp VR-4 Legnum
205/55/16 is the stock prefacelift or Type V size.

The tyres would be suitable for another member on standard wheels? You should be able to sell them :)

they will fit fine on my car too - I just need some magna rims. I like the idea of having a spare set, they come in handy.

I dont plan on selling them.

My VR-4 was imported in December 2003, so it had been in the country and already had several owners before I purchased it. Still, quite a bit survived the pilfering hands of the customs people....

'Raybrig' blue (Super White) interior lights & Reverse lamps
Cusco Type-II under chassis brace (scraped and bashed about)
Kosei 'Snyper' 17" Alloys (one with tiny buckle that wouldn't balance out)
HKS Super Panel filter in the standard airbox
Ultra (Nagandenshi) red silicone ignition leads
Ultra 4 point Earthing kit
Distress flare
51 Yen under the carpets
3 Japanese Cloret chewing gum wrappers under the carpets
A deep throated 10mm socket in the engine bay, wedged in the middle of the 'V' near the thermostat.
Wood-Effect Cigarette lighter
Replaced windscreen (Without the Cold Area Spec wiper heaters)...This must've been replaced in Japan at some point as there was still sticker residue from the Shaken sticker on it).
Aftermarket tint on the tailgate glass.


Think that was about it?

I got one of those talky toll card reader thingo's. I binned it sorry, if anyone here needed one.:p

I have found about 5 1yen coins.

And I think I had about 15 cigarette butts in the backseat ashtray.

Oh and the car stinks of ciggies..

No beer in mine though.....

When I cleaned mine on the weekend I found a few more things...

A MiniDisc - popped it into the player to find some japanese music - sounded like mellow rock with an american singing in japanese - sounded very 80s, something for the oldies.

A cigarette lighter, and found some ash behind the seats. Not too sure if it definately was cigarette ash, as the car doesnt have a smokers smell.

A strange bolt type thing in the drivers side storage bay in the boot - its close to the AYC pump so Im guessing it has something to do wth that?

Ive also got the japanese toll card reader that talks - it says something every single time the car starts - its starting to get annoying, but Id love to know what it says!

Pretty sure it is asking you to insert the toll card, when you find it, just cut the wires from the speaker and tuck them away. these are not connected to anything detrimental and it will shut it up lol

Hey guys,

I just noticed this in the engine bay last night and wondered what it is.. I think it probably has something to do with an EBC, but not fully sure. Have a look and let me know.

either the pressure sensor for a electric boost gauge, or for an EBC by the looks of things.
