Hello,

I've been told to clean my fuel sensor to see if that will help my gauge problems out. I've been linked a page to clean it (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/363010-fuel-level-sender-cleaning-r33-gtst/)

But i can't find any info on where to access my fuel sensor, in my 1999 R34 GTT. People said in the boot you should see some screws? I've looked and failed to see them. If anyone can link me a guide or tell me where to look that would be a great help!

Cheers, Zac

Open your boot. Directly in front of you where the back of the rear seats would be, theres 2 grey trims you need to remove. One is a flat panel, the other is L shaped.. Pull these out. Next you'll see a metal square cover held down with 4 bolts and some wires running under it. Pull this off and you'll find some fuel lines and wiring going into the tank.

Unplug both electrical plugs, then crank your car as if you are trying to start it.. This will relieve the fuel pressure in the lines. Now carefully pull off the fuel lines (they are brittle, easy to break).

Grab a large flathead screwdriver and a hammer and tap the large black ring anticlockwise. It will unscrew and you will be able to pull the beige center piece out. Slip your arm down into the drivers side of the tank, and you'll find the metal cradel with the fuel pump on it. To the right of this is the level sensor. Its white and about 30cm long. Its clipped in awkwardly but if you have a look in with a torch you'll see how its held.

Slide it out and pull it apart carefully. Generally the plastic is brittle so again just be gentle. Give it a clean inside and then put everything back together carefully.

All sounds very similar to an R33, however, I would recommend using a piece of wood (tomato stake etc) instead of a Screwdriver to open the lid dealy.

A little more forgiving on the plastic ring. :)

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
