Hey Everyone,

I think the fuel indicator maybe stuffed.

I purchased a R34 GTT about a week and half ago, had put in fuel 2-3 times since I have had the car (however had not yet filled tank), and had no problems.

However I filled the tank for the first time yesterday, have just noticed that the the needle has not really moved, maybe very slightly , however I have done around 80km since I filled her up.

Also when I turn off the car the needle stays put (at full basically).

Is there any easy fix for this do you think?

If it is stuffed, do you think it will still warn me when I am getting close to empty?

I have no idea yet, how many Km's I can get out of a tank, so makes it a pain in the backside.

Anyway guys and girls , thank you in advance for any assistance.

Regards,

Cargle.

Yeah, try ask in the skyline section, but for what it's worth,

The cefiro fuel gauge stays still when you turn the car off (even if you pull the cluster out it stays put).

And 80km's isn't too much from a full tank, you should be getting at least 400km to a tank, I would expect more from a newer car (R34) and depending on level of mods, maybe even 500kms.

Do another 100kms and see what the fuel gauge is doing then.

Otherwise it's not very hard to remove the fuel gauge/pump cradle.

My Cefiro fuel guage needle has recently developed a quirk of its own.... I fill the car up, the needle says half full. I drive 200 km, still half full. Drive 300 km and the needle starts to move down rapidly. 320km the warning light comes on.....

but I do have a 1jz, and I don't drive it too carefully so I know that I'm getting terrible economy... but the fuel level sender has got to somehow be stuffed.....

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
