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.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
