I often Kramer it, and In my series 1 when the fuel is low the light comes on and it tries to stall around left hand corners! the most fuel it has ever taken is 63l allowing for a comfortable 2l. Best k's ever was about 580, average is about 300.

My car seems to like V power racing, finally no pinging!

:P I do that in my Van, because I hate filling it up during the day. I got like 560 out of it once, but like you said, it started cutting out

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+ :(

I have a 93 R32 GTS-T and the fuel light does not light up when turning on the ignition.

And incase you are wondering, the fuel light in my car does work because it came on today when i parked at work, i parked on the side of the road and the road dips a lot into the ditch so the car was on an angle and the light was on. When i pulled away after work the light wasnt on and the fuel gauge rose a bit again, but regardless it had done 500km so i knew it was time to fill up, but it took 51.5lts, so it wasnt terribly low!

That's pretty bad fuel consumption, something definately not right there!! I always get 10 - 11/lts per 100km and a lot of that is in busy traffic and when im not in traffic im often stretching its legs. Overall i dont drive it that hard but i certainly dont putter around! Has your consumption been like this since you got the car? Might be worth putting it on a dyno and checking the a/f ratio's etc...

It changes from orange to red >_<

I don't understand? are you saying it comes on orange when you are low, and if it gets lower then it goes red? i've only ever seen mine as an orange light.... But i have never let my fuel tank get really really low.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
