Ok so call me stupid for asking this but it has no markings or anything and i didnt get a manual with my stagea BUT

in the boot on the right hand side you open up a compartment and there is a reservoir with some sort of oil in it

could anyone please inform me of what it is, as I'm getting my 100 000km service done in a couple of weeks, and the guy whos doing it, has never done a stagea before (he has done lots of skylines tho of course and he's the best in cairns so yeh..... theres only like 4 other stagea's in cairns) so i want to make i sure i know what it is so i can tell him (in case he cant work it out)

Cheers everyone

i was told TRANSFER CASE ... it dont worrie me tho ...mech just does the work

The transfer case shares the ATF of the trans, but if you want to be really specific, the fluid in question (if it is the ATTESSA resivoir we are talking about) ends up at an actuator at the back of the transfer case, but it gets there via a pump just above the rear diff.....

What Duncan said, plus the HICAS is electronic anyway, no Stagea had the R32 hydraulic HICAS, which BTW used the power steering reservoir.

my old r33 had the hicas reservoir in it in the back, so you can assume then that some s1 and s2 models could have it as well.

What :P I can assure you that any reservoir in the boot of an R33 is most definitely NOT for HICAS.

R33's and R34's have an electric motor that moves the rear steering rack, there are no hydraulics involved.

R32's have a hydraulically moved rear steering rack powered by the power steering pump. Which has 2 stages, one stage for the front power steering and one for the rear. The reservoir for the power steering is under the bonnet.

GTR's and GTS4's do have the ATESSA reservoir in the boot, as do 4wd Stageas.

Cheers

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
