i read for the R33 when i had mine, that the fuel light came on when there was approximately 7L left in the tank. one could assume the same for the stagea. i've driven for up to half an hour on my fuel light and not had a problem. helps to squeeze that little extra out of a tank

i never really bother. Under 1/4 and i fill up.

When installing the fuel pump, i was told the fuel tank design is different in the stagea in that there is a little "pocket" in which the fuel pump sits, meaning it is 100% the lowest point in the tank.

Ive driven around 2 days (~50km) with the light on and my 040 was still able to suck fuel up

couldnt agree more tangles

i filled up $91 the other day.... 66L... yepp... I KNOW ITS A 65L tank :D

Dunno how many litres but $68 for 98/10 from when the light came on.

Currently using 15or16/100.

Would like toget a kickback from AWB.

ok, first re-fill, some very varied driving including some babying (while I had an exhaust manifold leak that sounded scary) some highway cruise, on most drives I managed give it a poke in the guts once or twice, and one rip through a very twisty section of the Ocean Road late one night mid week after I fixed that manifold leak...

390km/51Litres

~13L/100KM

Not bad, I think it could do all right on a long open road trip, filled up with a bit under 1/4 of a tank and got the 51 Litres in so there was ~15L left if it is a 66L tank, that would have been close to 500km to a tank, that sounds all right to me.

I try to fill up around the 1/4 tank mark as it doesn't hurt so much, just more often I guess...

Cheers

revving on the hwy is the fuel comsumption killer

its cycling through the load axis on the fuel map that waste's fuel.

as soon as you open any decent amount of throttle it will drop on the load map on the stock ecu and the afr's will richen up too all hell, which is where the economy goes out the window

if you do a full tank of 100km/h driving with a steady throttle you'll get some kick ass economy, assuming the narrow band sensor and 02 feedback is working correctly

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
