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

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
