Ok Posting this up as there does not appear to be a post up about this. (I searched) My fuel guage started only going up to Half way a few weeks ago when full, it now only goes up to 1/4 full when full. My low fuel light still works however.

To fix this I take it I need to get a new fuel pump assembly and swap it over with the old one, the fuel pump itself will probably not need to be replaced? Is this correct?

The issue is with a r32 gts4 4door, has some kind of aftermarket fuel pump.

Check the float, i had the same issues when there was a pinhole in my fuel float

hey mate

i got the same problem with my cefiro

when i put aftermarket fuel pump in i noticed that the sender or whatever it is wasnt touchin, bent it to touch and now it shows just over 3/4 when i fill up when it use to show 1/2.

if i could be bothered to do it again n make sure it touches the whole way im sure it would be even better yet..

so maybe just have a look and take some photos many people on here could prob pick the problem from a simple picture

goodluck mate, will keep my eye on this

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
