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
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.

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.

S2 stagea's

RS-V 2wd auto

RS4-V 4wd auto

RS4-S 4wd manual.

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

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
