i can get a pic if needed, but im hoping that the r34 drivers on here will know what im talking about without one....its located in the boot of my car on the drivers side just above the rear wheel and is covered by the boot interior trim .... its a clear plastic canister of some sort that is holding about a liter of oil, brake fluid oil , like dot 4 i think, in the three years that ive owned the car ive never had to top it up, is it for my brakes? or HICAS? but my car doesnt have HICAS or at least not while ive owned it...

any ideas?

I'd love to see a pic ..

All I know is on that side on the drivers side above the wheel is an empty area with nothing there 'cept a small vent .. always wondered what was supposed to go there ...

HAHA yeah i have one aswell, i think that is for the brakes, i'm amazed you havnt had to top up your brake oil dude.

ok il get a pic up tomorrow, i have had to top up my brake fluid (only once)...but ive done so at the front on the master cylinder....and jrm said he had nothing in that space i described, if it were for brakes wouldnt it be on every skyline?

nah not really, if it was a preowned skyline maybe the previous owner took it out for some reason, mine is preowned but the previous owner only had it for a couple months, i'll find out tmr what its for.

Cause im getting my car back from the mechs.

do you own a gtfour?

I have the container in my boot and its for the attessa system.

Nothing brake related in the boot, the only place for brake fluid is on the master cylinder under the bonnet :down:

something to do with the idle air control i think

how do you adjust that screw? like can you turn it al the way one way and then turn it a certian number of times back the other way, or is it just where ever the car runs best?

That container in the boot looks like the the ATTESA E-TS fluid reservoir. It takes ATF, not sure what spec fluid for R34.

If you won't know ATTESA is then look here.

Search is your friend (though if you don't know what word to search for it's kinda hard!) :)

that system must only be for the GT4 becuase in my boot i only have the outline of where that panel should be, and if u take the boot trim out the only thing behind it is a vent.

Maybe its something to do with the 4wd system... i don't know....

I think you may be getting it mixed up with something else. A r34 gtfour is a na awd, it runs the same awd attessa system as the r33 gtr.

It's the container that holds the fluid that "engages" the clutchpacks in the awd transfer case that sends power to the front wheels. If you have it, your car is awd or it was at some stage.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?

      I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
