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.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
