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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
