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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
