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

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
