Hi All!

Issue with my car is that(long story short):

-It wasn't driven for a few yrs (few fam issues), but I tried to get it started and running every 3-4 weeks.

-Spent about a yr fully stripped for a respray so didn't get started much.

-Putting it all back together now and almost done

-Wasn't starting for a bit, so changed fuel pump from old Walbro to new walbro (was a lil dirty in the fuel tank), but nothing started.

-Change sparkies.. came to life. yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!

So here's the issue.

-Putting back all the interior panels etc, standard gauges...

-I know there was a full tank of fuel as my hand was in it a week ago (bitch of a job!)

-Engine temp=works fine. Well looks that way.

-Fuel gauge=no working. Can manually move up, but just slides all the way back down past 'E'.

-speedo=can't remember (not registered so didn't drive)

-rev=working but seems to be out a bit. A bit delayed, won't go back below 1K RPM.

-oil pressure=working but seems to be low. At 2 during warm up.. hmmm..

-Boost-working fine

NOTE: About 5yrs ago (I have owned her for almost 11yrs!)I installed those 'Nismo' EL Dials which require you to pull off the needle and replace. I may have roughed her up a bit, but was working fine before respray.

Now not sure where to go. Felt around in the fuel tank again and checked with a torch, seems as though all wires are connected (wires from the lid to the pump, and wires that go from the left of the tank to the fuel level sensor although a bit dirty with brownish build-up on connector) and nothing else floating around. Don't think any other wires have come loose.

I was thinking of trying to swap with another cluster panel to see if was my standard cluster.

Any other suggestions? wanna get this beast back on the road...

Thanks guys, gals, peeps, all!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
