So I've been told that Supra's drink petrol like its water.

Well I can give you the exact answer your looking for.

I get a good 425KM running on a full tank of Premium 98 before the empty light comes on. I believe it could do at least 450KM before I start running on fumes, but I tend not to risk it, although I do plan to run completely dry until my 34 becomes dehydrated to the point the engine shuts off just to see the MAXIMUM it can do on a full tank.

Gotta get myself a Jerry can first.

But to answer your question, 425KM on full tank of 98. Auto R34 25GT with RB25DE, no mods. Costs me about $140 a week though to run, since it's my daily and I drive it to city and back most days.

you should have roughly 10L of fuel left in the tank once the light comes on. in the case of my commodore though, i drove from gympie to noosa (just over 60kms) with the light on and then filled up to find i still had about 10L left in the tank. in the pulsar though, the light comes on fully with about 8L to go, but starts coming on then going off at about 11L to go.

back on topic though, if you want something RWD with better fuel economy than a skyline or supra, then get a silvia. the SR20 is a more fuel effecient motor.

Don't know if your being sarcastic or not :unsure:

But if legit question, you don't have a fuel warning light on your cluster?

not being sarcastic, looking back now the post does sound very dumb.

I actually dont have one, looked real hard at the dash too. I managed to run my tank almost empty to see if anything lights up.

I've heard of other skylines being like this, but im not concerned with it so never bothered looking it up.

I was under the idea that the na models, being the cheaper ones, nissan might have skipped over that.

mines an auto n/a and i get around 400-450kms out of a tank of 95 mixed highway and town, good weeks i can push 500 before running on fumes, mostly highway .... but if you put your foot down it can easily only do 300-350 flogged around town ....

My 34 is NA. maybe a pre-R34 thing? or perhaps your LED blew out.

they certainly have one. all modern cars do. there would probably be some sort of regulation that requires it.

it may be that the bulb is blown or the sensor in the tank is faulty.

i'm trying to remember where it is in the r33. i have a feeling it may be in the same cirlce as the fuel gauge, rather than being a seperate light like the handbrake light, etc. but if someone has a cluster handy, they could just remove the bulbs at the back and shine a torch through and you would see what each bulb does when you look at it from the front

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
