hey if any one has a problem with their fuel gauge in their stagea cluster i have figured it out!!

when i first brought my stag the fuel gauge would move all over the show when it got low in the tank .i started by replacing the sensor in the tank ...no luck just wasted 400 bucks lol nissan spare parts are great they can get me any thing i need so always try them if u need anything !so the problem was found in the cluster by pluging another dash in for a series one stagea which work fine even though it was a auto custer in a manual stagea .it turns our that The brains for the fuel gauge is behined the speedo so u have to change the whole thing which look on ebay and u can get on.

hope this helps anyone matt :(

Hmmm... I wonder if this would have fixed my issue: when a mechanic refitted my cluster, they just assumed the car had half a tank of fuel (sloppy!), when it actually had a full tank. As a result, as soon as I had less than half a tank, the needle went way below empty. ever since, it was stuffed: it would only ever read as high as half, even when full, and it would drop below empty (and beyond whenever there was a half tank of fuel or less in the car. Trying to reposition the needle at full with a full tank made no difference....

Doesn't matter now anyway: I have a spanky new Dolphin cluster for 260RS, complete with 10,000rpm tacho and 300kph speedo. It was an expensive, though...

my NM35 does this.?!!!!!

when its completely full it shows 3/4's

and then gets to empty and still has 1/4 tank in it.

so i keep driving until i see the light come on.

i might try removing the cluster when the tank is "really" empty and then filling the car and seeing if this does anything.

    • 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
