Fluid Reservoir In Boot

[Hanso]

I have a fluid reservoir in my boot which is rather low.

My questions are:

What do I fill it with?

What does it do?

Cheers,

Adam

that's your the reservoir for your Attessa bro I beleive you fill it with ATF Dexron III fluid or similar? Nissan also sells a specific Attessa fluid too i think.

If your "S" is 2wd then the reservoir should be for the hicas. Presumably you still check it with the engine running and use a quality atf.

Or you can fit a hicas lock bar and rip all that stuff out.

Mine is 4wd

Mine is 4wd

Sorry its the "V"thats 2wd. Instructions as above! If you let the level get low enough the 4wd light will come on. Stagea Atessa is hydraulically actuated and controlled by a seperate computer. Earlier Skyline ones were mechanical.

dextron 3 will do but a lot of ppl have been saying that the nissan matic-d is the stuff to use

think matic-d has been replaced now tho by nissan matic-(?)

before adding or going out and buying some fluid just check to see if it actually does need some because when you look at the reservoir it looks darker on the bottom due to a filter or something in there which makes

it look empty but it is actually full, you need to open the lid and check or shack the reservoir,

And as KiwiRS4T said check with engine running

Only the R32s had hydrolic HICAS, they scrapped it when they moved to the R33 and "Super HICAS" which is 100% electronic. Pretty sure the 32s fed from the power steering reservoir.

Top up ATF and bleed whilst engine running, also check slave on rear of gearbox for leak/weep!
