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...

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
