hey all,

can someone please tell me if the fuel warning light is supposed to come on when the ignition is first turned on. My fuel gauge is almost on empty, no warning light yet? Thinking the light may be blown or maybe i have a few liters to burn still.

skylines take about 60 or so litres, if i'm wrong please correct me. gauge might be abit dodgy, depends if the cars on a flat surface. But with cars with injectors, your should still have fuel left in the tank so all that crud dosent get sucked up, those there is still a filter near the engine and fuel pump abit always gets through.

then stays on solid with 10 litres left.

Thats correct !

You will know when you are getting really low (ie less than 5L's) coz the car will chug alittle harder when trying to start the engine after turning the key.

How many of you have changed your fuel filters in the last 6mths? Its a 15min job and costs less than $15 and you would be totally amazed at the gunk an old fuel filter will be full of.

when i first got my car - typical car dealership had no fuel in it - took it immediately to the service station to get fuel - cos i test drove it about 5 days beforehand and it was on empty then - it ate up $60 worth when i decided that was enough!! so at about 96 cents a litre im guessing that the tanks are about 65 litres?

My skyline has a little trouble responding to the ol' shake'n'click filling technique, compared to all my old cars where I could normally squeeze in a couple of extra litres... Perhaps because I can't shake the skyline and anything more than a stiff breeze would shake up the other cars like a roller coaster...

Is it really that bad to fill a car past the point of clicking?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
