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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
