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

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:

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

      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
