Hey N15Mo-Interesting-maybe as yours is a sedan ? Have never filled more than 68litres -20ks left on metre-(and I'm really bad for running on Empty). Perhaps too Auto/Manual is different. I'am seeing 80litre on the web/ but they are 03 Mods also prob Autos.

Yes you are right, V35s have an 80L tank. I too have managed to clock 800kms on one full tank Brisbane to Newcastle. When I filled up the tank it had about 7L left. Topped up with just over 70L.

Around town, mixture of highway and suburb driving I average around 600+ kms.

sedans and coupes all year models are the same 80L tank capacity. The 20ks left on the metre is fairly inaccurate method of gauging whats actually left in your tank. It is just an indication if you are consistently running Xkm/L that is how many kms you will have left. the KM/L reading changes depending on how heavy footed you are. Next time, drive until the fuel warning car appears on your screen, then top up or empty your tank completely and refill :happy:

Hey, does anyone know the fuel consumption of a 1999 R34 GT-R Skyline?

Hey, does anyone know anyone who's bought a beautiful 1999 R34 GTR, AND THEN worries about it's fuel consumption?

Honestly, just a bit of fun..HAVE YOU GOT ONE MATE?....cheers!..(AND WELCUM!)

Even after driving 60K's on the Fuel Warning Car light thingy. Car only takes 67 litres max. I know down to the last cup-full on every car I've owned and despite how I've driven them- exactly how much fuel is going in (call it a gift), with or without trip metres . The 05 Manual Coupe is definetly 70 litres Only. The Autos/Sedans I will bet are different.

BLISTC is an 04 Manual, and he is spot on in what he is saying. Interesting though everyone is quoting 80 on web.

P.S. I've conked out at the bowser three times on previous cars -now thats pushing your luck ! :)

Here you go. Translated for your benefit. Click on Coupe and you will see its the same 80L fuel tank capacity. I also have this info from the Hyper Rev Magazine which details full specs on V35 coupe and sedan.

My fuel light came on last week after doing about 450kms from a full tank. Went and filled up to full and managed around 60+L as well, meaning I would have had close to another 200kms / 20L before it went bone dry theoretically. I think the fuel warning light comes on pretty early to ensure ppl have ample time to get to the closest fuel station.

Mate--Dead set drove on the warning light for more than 60K's (waited for fuel sign to STAY on too so more like 80K's)--starting to hesitate round corners. Had travelled 550Klm (mostly city driving). Trip computer showed 20k's left

I filled up 69 odd litres (to the Lid!). This is definetely a 70litre tank in the 6mt Coupes No two ways --I'l bet my balls on it !!

Dont waste your time. you could stuff-up the fuel pump or computer driving that low.

Do not drive more than say 50K's city/80 on highway- when the RED FUEL SIGN comes up on your navigation system & you will fill up about 66+67litres. Sedans are different altogether.

Ok no worries ELF, lets just say yours is 70L and disregard the specs Nissan have published :down:

6mt coupes are more than 70, I'm pretty sure it's around 76 litres, I've filled to a little over (edit) 71 many times :D

When my light comes on I have never been able to put more than 45 litres in the tank!

I now know, for a fact, that the fuel tank capacity of the V35 Coupe 6mt is exactly...........................

somewhere between 65 and 90 litres.

I do long runs and my light can come on about half a cm off the bottom line and I usually keep an eye out as to how many Kms the computer reports me as having left. I just filled up yesterday and put in 69litres :) even if I did fill up when the computer stoped reporting the left over kms I'd still get more than 45 litres into it.

I'm pretty sure I've read off a specs page somewhere that the coupes have a 76litre tank.

i filled up last night

the petrol indicator light hadn't even appeared before I filled up.

put in about 60L

tank would definitely be more than 70L

on a side note, everyone keeps talking about the trip meter showing how many km's are left, where can I find this trip meter?

Most guys have trip meter together with GPS & TV of premium model. Not sure about standard model.

20 (us) gallons (75.71 litres) is also what they are quoting on Infiniti v35.

I filled 70.8 the other week-

So must stand corrected-BLUPP thats the sound of my nuts crashing down.

Must be tricky accessing the last five litres.

Has anyone filled more than 77 litres? As nissan spec say 80.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
