Hi everyone :) . I'm so new to all of this. sorry for the noob post but I've recently bought an R34 and I have no idea what this thing is:

It sits next to the air intake pipe. Seems like theres oil inside of it when I open it up. Could this be the oil that cools down the turbo? :s

Im curious to know because I got my oil changed at a service station but do I need to change this aswell?

If you were to look at where the hoses go you would have noticed they go to the power steering pump.

Which confirms jordy is correct.

Just let your mechanic service the car. Leave the bonnet shut ;)

OP likely wouldn't know what the ps pump looks like either....

^^ I second this ^^ at least until you have someone who can go over everything and help you in person. Spend a lot of time just browsing and searching this forum and you will gradually learn what you need..

you cnts are harsh critics, I swears :P...give me a clearly worded and diagrammed noob post over some of the other muppets that can't evun spel write wot, innit..

OP, power steering fluid needs to be changed as well just not that often, maybe 40,000k's? Worth doing if you've just got the car and aren't guaranteed of it's history; doesn't cost much for p/s fluid and not like you've got to do it again for a while.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
