Hi,

I have noticed recently when turning on the ignition, an electric pump (not the fuel pump) underneath the back of the car ran for a second or so. The time it ran for slowly increased so i checked out the atessa reservoir. It seems to have a section towards the bottom where there appears to be an air gap.

I gather this is what it is, and the filter may have something to do with that.

When you look at the reservoir the oil level is fine but there seems to be an air-gap towards the bottom of the tank.

Is there anyway to remove the top of the reservoir and take out the filter??

Any guidance is appreciated.

Pretty much mine has a 4mm air bubble around, think that's normal

Ah ok. I suspected that it was a problem cause when i turn the cars ignition on, I can hear a motor running for a short period of time, i gather its getting the atessa up to pressure. That motor is running for longer now, around 4 seconds whereas a number of months ago, it made no noise at all.

That's why i thought the air bubble was not normal.

So what would cause this motor to run- low fluid. I've checked the leves and they are fine?

Thanks

attesa pump always should prime for a few seconds when you turn ignition on. many people mistake it for fuel pump priming but in a standard-ish GTR (with say bolt in nismo pump or standard pump) the attesa pump primes much louder than the fuel pump. approx 4 seconds sound normal to me.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
