Anyone know how far you can drive on the fuel ligh on, i have braved 40kms before chickening out, i dont have a jerry can otherwise I would, so that I know :)

Hey I have an 32. I have driven between oxley and St Lucia 5 times after fuel light. (maybe 50 kms-also traffic) Also from Redbank to Gatton on fuel light and then around gatton campus for 1/2 hour (hairy-looking for my prac group) That would be a 100 kms, and that is at 140 most of way. Ran out for first time in my car few days ago, But my last car was a newie too and I ran out nearly every week without fail. Never had a problem with fuel pump.

Source of problem: first car on gas, so can just switch tanks.

Get gas then you can get km travelled after fuel light for every driving situation!!!

hey Anthony,   Hope you and Michelle had a good time out with us last night. :)

Had a great time. Thought it got a bit hairy a few times (and I was in the slow group) - but I love hairy. Getting springs and suspension done this week. Anthony has gone to Townsville for a holiday (leaving me with exams) Will you all be meeting at 7.30 at Milton macca's next Thursday. Gonna try and leave the kids at home, but they have become little skyline fanatics so may be hard.

isnt like the dirty petrol towards the bottom of the tank? like all the sediments n stuff?

so if u get low enough wudnt all that get into the special RB engine?? -_-

Saw ur car parked outside the childcare centre at UQ on Monday morning SXE32.

hey chris.. do you know if Couriers Please deliver to Melb? and i can I use the company account to do it on friday? :)

(I'll pay whatever it costs to do it).

I need a place to ship my sideskirts to somebody, but most don't take private deliveries (e.g. you need to have an account with them)

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
