Car : 93 R33 GTSt

Problem : Fuel gauge reads incorrectly

Possible cause : Car was slidin and also went over a few bumps all in a 30min duration, shocks could of caused needle in gauge to jump

Before problem the gauge read as follows :

Full , 0km

3/4 Full, ~120km

1/2 Full, ~220km

1/4 Full, ~320km

Empty , ~420km

Now after problem

Full, 200km

3/4 Full, ~260km

1/2 Full, ~300km

1/4 Full and Empty too scared to try lol

im now drivin by guessin the distance and i hav a vauge idea about possible fuel levels. Anyway went to mechanic and she suggested the sender unit after the fuel pump needs to be replaced, i thought it was jus the gauge, meh

But anyone else got ideas or even a place to go to get it fixed. I tried a few places for a fuel sender unit but no one has any. Ringwood speedo no longer remove and refit so i wanna be sure if its the gauge or the sender unit before i commit to givin them the gauge.

Anyway ppl sorry for the long post, anyone else had this problem or know of a way to rectify this problem ???

If the problem has only appeared since you've been sliding and bumping, more than likely, the intank fuel sender will have fallen off its bracket...

It's been covered before so try a search but basically:

Remove fuel tank cover plate in boot

Open big black jar type lid in boot to get access to tank

Refit fuel sender onto brackets

Reverse

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
