What is that

Can anybody help? I was cleaning out the boot and removed the small panel on the right side of the car and found a bottle with two pipes coming out of it and min & max markings on it, It has a oil I think in it which is below the min mark and I would like to top it up but I don't know what it is or what fluid is in it as it only has japanese writing on it.

Thanks Philip:grey:

HICAS oil reservior, use normal auto trans fluid to top it up.

On the R33 GTS-4 it's the fluid for going 4wd, I could be wrong as I don't know Japanese but this is the section out of my Owners Manual.

It is the 4WD fluid container.
Its not the Hicas container, as it is located between the air box and the strut tower.
Cheers,
Doc

Duh, forgot, thats right, reservoir for the 4WD fluid, still, use the same fluid, ATF fluid.

Check it hot, don't go above the full mark.

yeah! Some dingaling told me the hicas resevoir was in the boot. What a waste of time it was pulling out the boot trim only to find that it was in the front hehehe
