Hi everyone :) . I'm so new to all of this. sorry for the noob post but I've recently bought an R34 and I have no idea what this thing is:

It sits next to the air intake pipe. Seems like theres oil inside of it when I open it up. Could this be the oil that cools down the turbo? :s

Im curious to know because I got my oil changed at a service station but do I need to change this aswell?

If you were to look at where the hoses go you would have noticed they go to the power steering pump.

Which confirms jordy is correct.

Just let your mechanic service the car. Leave the bonnet shut ;)

OP likely wouldn't know what the ps pump looks like either....

^^ I second this ^^ at least until you have someone who can go over everything and help you in person. Spend a lot of time just browsing and searching this forum and you will gradually learn what you need..

you cnts are harsh critics, I swears :P...give me a clearly worded and diagrammed noob post over some of the other muppets that can't evun spel write wot, innit..

OP, power steering fluid needs to be changed as well just not that often, maybe 40,000k's? Worth doing if you've just got the car and aren't guaranteed of it's history; doesn't cost much for p/s fluid and not like you've got to do it again for a while.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
