It could also be that the light is broken, but not very likely

If its really a concern, just go crusing when you are close to empty again, with a friend in their car.

I remember the first time my light came on, I had my car about 6 months and it really confused me having never seen it before.

My best effort is 80km from first fuel light coming on.

Streamer, how many L are you putting in when you fill up?

hmm...not sure...but if i drive till around where the E line is, the needle EXACTLY on the line at the E...yet no light,

i can fill up to around 50 bucks.

with around 98c per litre.

i can go for close to 480ks driving like a nana...if not then its around 420.

why?

i have seen the light only twice now having owned the car for a year, i didnt think it had one for a long time till i decided to forget to fill up and sure enough on it came and scarfed the **** outa me, so off to the servo i went.....

Well, the R33 has a 65L fuel tank, and if you are only putting in $50 at around 98c, you're only putting in just over 50L. You'd have nearly 100km worth of fuel left when you're currently filling up.

I can drive til my light comes on and get around 450 easily, mind you my car is still completely stock until next month, so this could be why.

what i meant is i fill up till the thing clicks and the tank is on the verge of overflowing...

mind u, 65l is prob frm the last drop...

i never even had e chance to see the light alto i might try this time cause my gas is low once again.

eveytime i try, i freak out.

so with the needle on the e line, i fill around 55...

so i guess it works out...

A fuel filter does indeed catch most of the impurities, but there is still a chance something can get through.

I had a car (carby) this happened to and it was well maintained, i let the fuel run down and the car died.

So a new carby, fuel pump and tank clean out later........

The problem was dirty fuel from the servo, and it was proven, i only ever ran premium in it!

Agreed, running on empty is not a good thing. Ive only had occasion to do it once.

The idea of running out of fuel anywhere is something Ill try to avoid.

All I was trying to say was that the fuel light will come on, and you still have time left. It is of course, a fuel warning light, hence, warning.

i saw the light today when parked on a slope.

went to uni

came back, backed out of the slope and there went the light.

safely say that i saw the light hence satisfied for now that there is a light and never worry abt stallin in the middle of the road again.

managed to get in 58l too...of bp ultimate today which means it is a 65l tank for sure.

i get around 450 - 470 if driving normally with the occasional lead footedness when the road is wet...like today in perth...YAY

only on private rds tho...

heh

laters

Speaking of guage, i haven't yet own a skyline, but looking at the R33 GTS25 does the radiator fans comes on straight away when you switch the engine on (i know it does when its warm obviously). And the temp guage goes up half way after like 5mins of driving it. Is this normal? If not wat seems to b the problem? Help!

Thanx guys!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
