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?

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

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
