Found in the boot in my GTR

under the jack storage area

Any ideas ???

ALSO, theres this hose thing coming from that same area

I've attached pictures. Its attached to something at one end, and the other end is just 'hangin'

If anyone could tell me what either of these things are used for, id be grateful

Tommy that is a freewheel removal tool for the rear cluster of a road bicycle, also called a chain whip. It looks like an old one as well. The other end is a C spanner for tightening the old style head stem bearings. I used to be a pro cyclist and owned a couple of bike shops. If you wanna sell it let me know. I'm putting a collection of old items together to put in wall displays at home. Trying to get in touch with my inner skinnier self.

The hose I can't help with but it could be a drain for water or the battery breather.

Im glad you gave me an answer

The only thing ive been able to find online is reference to bicycles. And God knows what that was doing in my car. So it turns out that the person owning my car in japan was not only into golf, but also rode bicycles. LOL

I dont really want/need it, so if you want it, PM me.

It is quite possible that the hose is a breather for the battery ... maybe someone else knows.

But im content enough knowing that its not connected for a reason !!

Would the hose be for the drain on the bottom of the motor on the power ariel. I have one on the bottom of mine and its suposed to vent through a small spliced rubber gromet inside the wheel arch at the bottom. Ive repaired my ariel and thats what I found. Although the hose wasnt pushed through the gromet it was just laying there leaving water to build up in the arch. Fixed that pretty quick I can tell you !

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
