I can't get it undone. Apparently there is a proper tool but ppl open them with screwdrivers. I've tried a lot of tools even tried having two vertical screwdrivers and one horizontally between them to twist and it still won't budge.

Anyone with tricks to the trade for this?

Given up for tonight as I'm getting to frustrated. Also very cautious about using a hammer too move it a bit as I don't want to risk a fire bomb lol

As i posted on the other thread where you asked half the question. A big pair of pliers, or hammer and chisel. there is no chance of spark or fire, as the cap is a much softer metal. We open drums of Resin with these caps on them in this fashion :)

Well you bastards have been having fun while I was on my honeymoon. The Car is now at the top of the throw money at list, I need to get a full service, 100k service and a tune done on it. I would say I will miss this drag day but should make the event after that.

Thanks to all for help. I was raging hard last night after fishing around for 2hrs just for a barrel pump... All sorted and drum opened.. Time for skids tomorrow

Ifyouknowwhatimean lol

Was a good day. As started in other threads. Bucket load of skylines and jap cars in general. A lot more than normal. Local manufacturers not as well represented as previous events.

Favorite cars had to be r34gtr WHAT M8 from mercury and JW Automotives r32gtr that again took out the off street drags

yeah mate got up at 345aqm to get out there so was getting pretty tired. Plus i was getting pretty low on e85 so decided to call it a day during the powerskid comp. Started getting used to the car and the extra power in the second cruising session. Beat a couple of Mercury

s GTR's which is always fun

Yer man it seemed to pull well, puts it into perspective though just how fast some of those cars are :/

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
