I have a S2 R33 GTST.

and i'm jsut wondering if it has a petrol light that comes on when the tank is low.

so far. my cars on empty. with 525km's on the trip meter. so i'm guessing it would be almost completley empty. and i havn't seen any light come on the dash.

i was just wondering if they have one?

thanks.

Someone with an S2 confirm that the fuel light comes on like all the other lights (ABS, Airbag, HICAS etc etc) when the accesories are switched on?

I'm pretty sure the fuel light is the one on the far left...and mine never comes on

Be careful incase the globe has gone like it has in my Evo. Might replace that tomorrow actually. Got a bit too close on the DECA trip in November as a result! :woot:

my globe works, and unfortunately shows up quite often. i had a lot of consumption issues, so i got into the habbit of seeing almost exactly how many kms i was getting to each tank.

pushed my luck one arvo, light was on, then realised i had about 30kms to the next petrol station, made it fine! (although there was barely enough fuel to power the light, let alone the engine)

lesson learned!

does everyone else's gauge drop in large increments? mine does basically 100kms, then drops exactly a quarter in one hit. doesn't make much different i guess.

end ramble... :thumbsup:

525kms? thats heaps.. i do about 350 and im on empty.. and that just driving around normaly.. but then again you tank is prob bigger...

i think my tank is 65 litres, but i drive like a granny, so i don't attract police attention, as my car isn't complied or registered yet. i'm just a p-plater driving on a trade plate atm.

i havn't every seen my light come on. and when i put the ignition on. i don't see it come on either.

:s.

i'll check the globe when i receive my white faced dials from group buy and have to pull apart my dash.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
