Ok bit of a different question for everyone out there well versed in the r33 fuel system..

The fuel tank, the fuel pump sits on the RHS/driver side of the tank with the fuel level sender, theres a secondary loom that runs off the fuel level sender that goes to the left side of the tank and down to the bottom left corner, what its attached to, i can't see or figure out..

is it attached to another level sender, or is there a secondary pump buried down there to transfer fuel over from the left side of the tank to the right, or does the fuel transfer work of a vacum setup using the return line from the motor, looking at the return line setup at the top of the tank this seems likely, i just want to make sure there isn't a fuel pump down there that may need power.

anyone who's hacked apart a tank or has a manual with this info, id love to hear from you..

pretty sure having looked thorough at the tank cap its a vacum pickup to grab fuel out of the LHS side of the tank, so im pegging it must be part of the fuel level sender, i just can't get a hand intp the tank deep enough to trace the wires down to see what they're attached to..

just trying to make sure its only a 5v power signal it needs to the sender or if it might possible need 12v, anyone got a factory 33 manual handy?

could it be the sensor for the low fuel dash light? I have noticed that my low fuel light is completely inconsistent with the fuel gauge so it would make sense that the sensors for each were in completely different spots.

I think that might be what it is, sounds like a good theory

I typed "R33 FSM" into the address bar of firefox and was linked to an old forum page titled R33 FSM, second post was this;

You can clearly see the particular piece of electronic you are referring to in the diagrams..... But it does not tell you anything about it LOL sorry dude.

P.S. have more faith in google....

    • 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
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
