Hi,

I am Finnish bloke who asked lots of questions from J-spec Ben and Ironchef Kristian but found car straight from auction this week. Sorry guys.

I got some pics and when I saw that auction sheet it said some mods but look these pics.

looks great!! very stealth!

is your primera modded at all? im a big pulsar/nissan fan...pics?

 

[Guest]

My primera is rustbucket with alloys nothing else. I have had it several years just for moving my arse from a to b.

Now I might have some passion to mod my car.

 

[bradc]

You've got a lot of mods there! I cound:

ARC Air Box
Piping Kit
Grounding Kit
110 Degree Throttle Bpdy Pipe
Slotted Discs
Nice looking Exhaust Tip
Defi Gauges and Control Box (pity about the cutting in that plastic panel, but they are easy to replace and do a better job
Boxes on the back seats - look like springs
New Headlights
Rear Strut Brace
Stock Air Box
Spare Steering Wheel


Awesome Dude, you've got to be stoked!

 

[Guest]

You should have seen my jaw drop last night I looked those pics first time.
I did know few mods but this much was surprise I liked.

These are mods I found or know to complete you list
Momo steering wheel attached
Don't know what kind handbrake lever and gear knob there is but seems to be changed because genuine is out
Console panels are gloss grey if that even is mod
Sony GPS (do someone know model?) Can it work in europe? Maps?
Clarion drx8575z with changer
Probaply some amp (just look those thick cables from battery)
Ralliart oilcap
Intercooler
HKS EVC boost controller

Also bought for this www.ebay.com item 160223628052
Planning to get 18" rims for summer and 17" for winter tyres.
If there isn't AFC thats next mod.

What else there is to be found I have to check when car is in my yard.

If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for it Lari?? That is a freaken AWSOME car - not only does it have heaps of mods but it's so clean it looks like it just rolled out of the factory (ok, then into a mod shop). Amazing find man, well done indeed!!

 

[Guest]

510000 yens what is quite bargain with these mods I think.
618000 yens total with transport to nagoya and buyer fees.

 

[SiliconAngel]

Daaaamn dude, that's insanely good. Mine was ¥850,000 and it's a '99 with a lot more wear and tear than your's! Very, very impressed

 

[Guest]

Nice looking car u got (same colour and model as mine) ... but man u must be happy not having to pay for any of the mods ... I hope it drives as good as it looks

 

[Guest]

I have already bought brembos for leggie and list has been made
what to check when car comes.

To do list if not there
AFC
Fuelpump upgrade
adjustable FPR
Oilcatch can
Exhaust to be checked if needs to go bigger

Radiator pipe to silicon or hardpipe

Two sets of wheels which clear brembos

Atleast in my dreams this list will shorten this year.

Problems with parts

First difficulty is coming with those parts in the car.
If there is someone in Japan willing to help with these I could compensate it with parts or money.

Here is what I want to posted Finland
-Original steering wheel
-Gear knob and Hand brake lever
-Airbox

You could get or sell
-Swaybar
-IC and it's pipes
-Headlights
-Mystery boxes in backseat (someone said it might be springs)

If there is something else that can't go with car we have to check.


Below is quote of mail I got when I asked question about those.

""Dear Mr. Ketola,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately any liners calling at Hanko, Finland do not allow to have any stuff loaded in a car.

We are afraid that we ask our customers to unload and throw away things, if cars carry things.

If you would like to get all the things your cars carry, we can send it by DHL, however shipping costs will be charged to you.

And then, some of our customers who can ship their cars to sevral countries, they replace the things to a car which can be shipped to another countries such as Russia and UK.

We hope this may help you""

Dude, ship the headlamps to me if you don't want them!! I'll pay for shipping

 

[Guest]

Headlamps are for SiliconAngel if the helper doesn't need those.

Wakaba from clubvr4 forum is leaving soon from japan but possibly can sort things out before that.

EDIT: Wakaba is leaving japan very soon and couldn't get these shipped before he leaves.

I mailed Dan Wiseman but it was just seconds ago.

Dan if you read this I got autosquare to ship the stuff. Might be that I will later contact with some stuff.

 

[Guest]

Who do you think has said words like this.
"I think wont buy anything else before car is here."

Just what I always say I won't buy anything so today I just bought more
brake stuff.

ebay item #300213189413

EDIT:ed some typos
Might be some beer issue in those typos.

Small update

Car has seen few USA ports and is heading next to Belgium and after that Germany (07/07/08) where it's gonna moved to other ship and I don't know ETA time yet actually I don't know when/which ship it's gonna be.

Those parts that came with car is now home just like cars paperwork.
I have been in garage with my wheel and

So after that been said earlier
I have bought
-Evo X rims (enkeis)
-235/40/R18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics
-Viper 791-XV alarmsystem
-Headlight adjuster motors
-Headlight adjuster switch
-Endless brake pads set for Brembos

You could propably guess that my workmates have laughed for my buying spree.

And still need to buy atleast headlights and blinkers.

I heard that maybe I need to change also my seatbelts for compliance (gonna borrow from someone if thats the case).

I am trying to decide what to do with AFR if that haven't been sorted out already. Apexi Neo/E-manage/Haltec miniceptor/????
But thats gonna be after there is reliable wideband installed.

There was Fujitsubo installation receipt in maintainance book and
last maintainance was made 553?? and now there is less that 56000 in meter.

I have to leave to home before this text needs hard covers.

Cheers

Hey Lari,

You sound like me haha buying stuff for a car you can't drive

Dunno if I told you, but those headlamps I got from you were brand new in the original Mitsubishi box with clear static film over the lenses - absolutely stoked! Thanks so much!

I want pics of those Evo-X Enkeis!!

Sweet as man, look forward to seeing them on your car!

 

[Guest]

I am wondering with powder coating those black or dark grey but need to see those with car first and those brembos I have bought are grey/silver painted so might be best to leave original color for rims this summer.

 

[bradc]

have you seen the wheels on my car? They are done in the same colour as grey Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R's and look very nice, but then my car is fairly dark.
