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.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
