Found in the boot in my GTR

under the jack storage area

Any ideas ???

ALSO, theres this hose thing coming from that same area

I've attached pictures. Its attached to something at one end, and the other end is just 'hangin'

If anyone could tell me what either of these things are used for, id be grateful

Tommy that is a freewheel removal tool for the rear cluster of a road bicycle, also called a chain whip. It looks like an old one as well. The other end is a C spanner for tightening the old style head stem bearings. I used to be a pro cyclist and owned a couple of bike shops. If you wanna sell it let me know. I'm putting a collection of old items together to put in wall displays at home. Trying to get in touch with my inner skinnier self.

The hose I can't help with but it could be a drain for water or the battery breather.

Im glad you gave me an answer

The only thing ive been able to find online is reference to bicycles. And God knows what that was doing in my car. So it turns out that the person owning my car in japan was not only into golf, but also rode bicycles. LOL

I dont really want/need it, so if you want it, PM me.

It is quite possible that the hose is a breather for the battery ... maybe someone else knows.

But im content enough knowing that its not connected for a reason !!

Cheers

Would the hose be for the drain on the bottom of the motor on the power ariel. I have one on the bottom of mine and its suposed to vent through a small spliced rubber gromet inside the wheel arch at the bottom. Ive repaired my ariel and thats what I found. Although the hose wasnt pushed through the gromet it was just laying there leaving water to build up in the arch. Fixed that pretty quick I can tell you !

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
