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.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
