Nothing to worry about skyline fuel pump has a nice sock on it so shouldn't drag rubbish up either

nick there is plenty of leeway between fuel light and empty my manual says there is 9ltr in the tank when the light comes on thats almost 100kms

i did the same at lukes house once due to parking on incline :nyaanyaa:

Its better then what my sister did!

She was driving me to school in her old 4cyl VH commodore (HAHA it was the funnist car, brown, stockies etc) when in the middle of an intersection at Golden Grove it ran out. She left me in the car while she walked home to get mum (had no credit on phone).

I was 14 in school uniform stuck in an intersection and RAA drive past and offered to tow me out of the intersection so I jumped in the drivers seat and got towed while everyone walking to school stood watch. Good times.

lol I remember picking my RX-2 up from the workshop with an extra 100bhp over when it went in, the problem was that it drank accordingly. I picked my new GF up for our first date, and the thing ran out as I was turning right on North East Road! Thankfully I was heading downhill, and there was a servo on the corner, so there I was pushing the thing across the intersection, with the GF refusing to get out the car and help lol. I should point out that GF is now the mother of my 3 kids :nyaanyaa:

Ok got a 10L jerry and the gauge just moved haha....

Got it in the shed, wired in SITC.

Drove to BP filled it up went for a quick drive to warm it up.

Go home check base timing with light. Bang on 15 deg. Wind in 5 deg advance on 800rpm on the SITC check timing and suprise theirs 20deg advaced. wind it 5 deg retard and their we have 10 deg advanced... So its all working :D sweeett

Now am going to source and fit a 3" dump/front pipe and get it to boostwerx for a SAFCII and SITC tune

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
