Hey,

When do you guys generally fill up your tanks? Also, how many litres is the tank?

I fill mine up normally after 400km or when the gauge approaches E. I rarely ever see the fuel warning light come on though, sometimes I have the gauge well below E and still don't have the light coming on.

Is the light broken?

Thanks,

-Greg.

Tony: keep driving till the engine starts acting funny :D

I fill up about 50-60L. I am a bad boy cos I run it to empty.

PS. you said you filled up on 400kms when it was on E in a GTS? You should be able to get a few more kms in an NA. The highest mileage I've gotten in the city is 430km with about 8L left in the tank.

My little mission in life is to fill up the maximum litres possible.. well not really I am just a bum and don't fill up until I really need to.

The car does feel shitty when you are the bottom of your tank, I should put some of that Wynns Spitfire cleaner stuff through it or something.

I try not to allow my tank to go below the theyt 1st bar so it still has like 20 litres in it. Reason for this is cause i dont want to suck up the shitty fuel scraps at the bottome of the tank.

exactly!! coz i've seen my share of cloged fule pumps bcoz of that!

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
