for what it's worth...I'm using the steel ones Neil is having trouble with, and no problems atm. Mine have had far less use than his though. One other problem with them is 20l is bloody heavy to hold the jerry while it slowly fills....and for a skyline 20l jerrys really are not big enough (my car does about 100l/100klm at full noise).

pete - the trailer mounts are for the rectangular plastic or metal 20l jerries that neil and i have. same as the death trailer which has 4 mounts on it.

stu - no such rules with CAMS, and I'd be surprised if adnra had one considering how the jungle juice always comes in metal containers.

russ - neil already has a dipstick in the car - it sits between the steering wheel and the seat. ha ha ha.

Oh everyone loves a smartarse,,,.

Pete,,,if you are using the plastic crap that Duncan has,,,then you need to remove the wood bits and suffer the expansion,,,if you are using the metal ones then they should fit,,,but not snuggly. Seems the brackets are not made for metal cans as I have the same problem as you. they flop around like a cock in a sock.

Russ,,,ask Duncan about dipsticks,,,seems shorter dipsticks are all the rage or ask for directiions to my house,,,NOT. :banana::P:banana:

I had the same problem.....best investment I made was a marine grade jiggler hose available at boating shops. Simply put the jerry can on the boot, one end of hose in the fuel filler - other end in the jerry and it practically fills itself :thumbsup:

Oh my god,,,you put a jerry can on the boot of a Skyline Shame on you!!!. Maybe on a commodore and a falcon but not a Skyline.

LOL Neil you won't find a more fastidious (spelling?!?) GTR owner who tracks it anywhere...just ask Mick from Micolour :P The jerry can doesn't go DIRECTLY on the boot without a suitable layer (or two) of cotton or microfibre. I can assure you that the paint hasn't been marked once.

Okay I'll take your word for it,,,but if I ever see jerry can sratches on your boot lid,,,I'll,,,I'll...I'll cry.

These are what we bought,,,funny the yanks now mould them with "Water",,,stupid bastards. They worked a treat,,,thanks to Mr Handley and much dedate on

working out how much fuel I was using at Oran Park GP we worked out that 7 litres is about right for supersprinting,,,not 20 something. So thats about 10 to 13 kilo's or more I don't have to drag around the track.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
