Hi Everyone,

Picked up my 300GT today. Really nice car and amazing value for money.

I think I read somewhere that the tank is 80L. Can anyone confirm this?

I was low on fuel, light was on and my interpretation of the trip computer was that I only had about 50km left in the tank. So when I filled up it took 58 litres. If it is an 80 litre tank then my gauge is faulty, as is the trip computer. 80 seems like a lot to me......

I have wondered the same. the most fuel I have put in my 350GT sedan is about 62L and that was with the fuel light on for the last 20km and the gauge showing just over the empty mark.

Pretty sure it's a 80 litre tank as well. Had at approx. 800km out of a tank on a trip to VIC a while back.

Might have to chuck a jerry can in the boot and go for it.

I was on empty for ages yesterday, and the trip computer said I had less than 50kms left. When I filled up it took 61 litres. Something is not right here. It cannot be an 80l tank if the trip computer says there are only 50kms left and yet it still has 19 litres int he tank....

^ yeah.. if they do have an 80L tank, the fuel light comes on with 1/4 of a tank left..

Someone in another thread mentioned there is a write up on cleaning the fuel level sender which may fix this.. I'm not too worried about mine, as long as I don't ever run out of fuel..

Will say the 250GT isn't as thirsty as I thought, proved alot of people wrong with it's economy. Man you can feel the extra weight with a full tank hahaha.

It is an 80L tank according to Nissan.

Hi Everyone,

Picked up my 300GT today. Really nice car and amazing value for money.

That's a bit interesting. A few weeks ago, the fuel light was on. So I put $50 worth of Petrol in my car, at that time $50 got almost 34Lt of Unleaded. Then then next day, I would add some engine cleaning fluid in it. therefore I topped up the tank, but it took only $23 worth of Petrol. Then the tank was full. It also spilled out of the tank a little bit.

You guys are saying that it is 80Lt thank. How on earth is that possible. By the way with that much petrol (approximately 55Lt) I did almost 600km (it would be much more if it wasn't driving to work-busy freeway, damn trafic light here and there...etc.)

So wehre is the rest of my fuel tank.

:)

Well I put 61.570Lt @ $1.659/L and it came to $102.14 and that was from just under a quater of a tank till it was full to the brim and I couldn't fit anymore in.

Can't remember the range till empty figure but it lasted who solid weeks

i barely get 450km from a full tank... usually about $100 of premium. thats all city suburbs, no highway and no peak hour. and the fuel meter says i average 12L/100km

i definitely dont trust the fuel range display. when full, it says i have a range of 650km.... but have never made it last even 500.

i had the light come on at E on the guage, the meter said i had 77km to go..... 2 km later and it said i had 23km to go.... then it said 0km...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
