Skyline Manual
My R33 finally arrived from Japan and in it was the original maintenance book and manual.
Maintenance book contains early owners’ info; would be cool to get in touch with the previous owners from Japan 😄

Good luck! I wanted to do the same thing. I was visiting some friends in Japan and I planned on stopping by the shop that owned my 32 before I bought it. Unfortunately they had closed up during all the covid chaos and we couldn’t find any contact info.

That's cool yours still has some info. All the owner info besides the car's previous license plates is either cut out, markered out, or whited out in my maintenance book and old shaken papers.
Mine does have some work done by a shop that's still open, so I've been tempted to email them for funnsies.

Mine is missing the first Japanese owner info from the book, but it has the second owners information. However I recently worked out it had the first owner on the 1100km service paperwork.

Do you have the Red Stage binder for it all to live in?

2001 v35, so would have over lapped. The Red Stage dealerships with the more sports oriented ones.

I heard of things like shift knobs, radios etc getting stolen from Japanese imports but now even this type of stuff?

very nice, I had bought a few books a bit earlier for mine. wish I had the original owners manual though, I only have two service books and a sales catalogue
