Noobest Question Ever

[Esc]

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.

they do have 1, but i've never seen mine come on from memory...I always fill up when it gets to the last slash (1/4 tank) but the few times ive gone close to empty i've still never seen it....might just be a blown globe

[Basti]

yes they do have a light. most of us see it a couple hundred kays before you do tho

Doesnt the globe light up when you turn on ignition? On the r32 all the lights turn on and see the petrol light flash. Im sure its similar to r33's?

edit: i could be thinking of the oil pressure light, some r32/r33 confirm

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!

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

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...

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.

[mcdee]

yes the globe lights up

[paulr33]

it comes on after u go past E

and it will come on at IGN-ON diag as well

[dezz]

busted globe it is. I'll change it when I have the dash off next

haha. yep, i just checked then. no light.

[sloe-32]

never seen mine come on because as soon as i hit the last quarter line, my car starts to jump and hop around when taking off due to the fuel pump working at 100%. shits me sometimes.

thanks for the confirmation, i wasnt crazy after all

[jimmytim]

But according to the jpzn owner's manual, it only comes on when there is about 7~8 L of fuel left.

Globe replaced in mine today, now just to test it!

[Rekin]

Can someone confirm if the fuel light turns on when in ingnition for a R32?

Mine doesn't light up and wondering if this was a feature added into r33+
