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....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
