Time to design swivel mounted gyroscopic fuel tanks. You could call them "GyroTanks", since this is a problem that effects all cars you could make a universal "GyroTank" conversion kit. "GyroTank, GyroTank get your GyroTank conversion kit today" they would say. It could change the motor industry forever, you could also expand and have "GyroCupHolders" "never spill your hot beverage again with the new product from Gyro Co International the GyroCupHolder. I think someone here needs to take this idea and run with it!

Can't confirm, but been told the V35/M35 fuel gauge acts as a fuel consumption gauge too, so if you thrash it it'll say you have less but if you drive conservatively it'll give you more.

But this could be 100% wrong, just what I heard through a random stagea/nissan convo.

i think you might be right. would sound right and it happens in my sisters V35

aaron she still hasnt called me. can you let her know im expecting her call still?

also, mine does that when i hammer it. maybe its because of the fuel moving around so much it takes the lowest average reading, when youre driving normally, the fuel doesnt move as much and thus you get a higher reading

Iaiaiaiain even I dont have your number, why would she? lol

i just thought there would be a level sensor n it was just missing it.

You will be seeing the level sensor as soon as you empty the tank and we can get that Walbro in. Its a simple carbon track float sensor, the smarts are inside the car in the BCM I think... Craig have you translated that BCM wiring diagram yet? :whistling:

Speaking of which, If i empty it tomorow do you wanna do it then? or wait till i come around on wednesday??

whichever is easier for you big fella!

Craig reckons it wont take long to do. I wouldve done it tonight but I think its a must that I go to the movies with the GF. lol

i think your car being a C34 IS the problem, chuckie

im glad this problem isnt affecting m35s, im pretty sure ive parked on some very steep slopes facing up and downhill and the car started fine

might be due to the shape of the fuel tank?

rekon an m35 fuel tank would fit in a c34? i have a spare :)

This happened to me last night. Fuel gauge was reading just before the bottom line and the light was not on. as I drove up a really steep hill with a sharp right hand bend, I started to loos power then conked out halfway up the hill! And then wouldn't start again. :huh:

Didn't know what was going on, then I remembered reading this thread. So I rolled back down the hill a bit, then it started and I drove off. Filled up the tank and it didn't do it again.

So I assume it must have been this problem. (I hope) :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
