Taking a fuel tank off isn't too big a job. I recommend finding a mate to help, but you can do it by yourself if you have to.

I'm sure almost any wrecker can help you as it's an uncommon problem so they'll have lots of spares :laugh: If you can buy a used GTR fuel pump for $150-$200 I wouldn't pay more than $60 for a gauge float.

You shouldnt need to remove the fuel tank to get to the sender, it could be different in the 33's though, but underneath your boot lining or the back seat carpet (depends if your seats fold down or not) there should be a round shaped metal plate which you can lever of to get to the fuel pump and intank fuel filter, attatched to it should be a little black floater connected to the sender unit. The little floater gauge just clicks off. Dont forget to relaese the pressure from your fuel system before you take off any fuel lines or you'll get a very painful shot of fuel in the eye.

Then again if that little plate is nowhere to be found you just may have to get the fuel tank out, which would be a pain.

And i could be wrong, but im pretty sure im right. I'm sure someone will correct me if im wrong. :)

Sorry, I was actually guessing - the fuel tank I took off was on a sedan and not a skyline :) Cheers for the correction

do R33 gtst series 1 have the fuel light?

I can't say I've ever seen it come on in my car. Maybe that's why I think I'm getting crappy economy as when it is showing empty it may still have fuel in the tank?

How much fuel is left in the tank when the warning light comes on?

Cheer

i got series 1 too but i fill up when i got a quarter left...

most cars allow you to travel between 3-10km's once the light has apeared, duno bout skylines tho

Ummm I've done 60km in my GTR. This post isn't for a pissing contest, just to share that there is a LOT more than 3-10km whilst the light is on.

I reckon that I have about 15 litres left when the light first appears and the manual says that it comes on with 7 litres left....

Sgould get 50 or 60 kays with the light on

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
