hi guys

car: r33 GTS-T series II

Very interesting question. Each time I take a U-turn in a roundabout and the boost comes in , my fuel gauge decreases until it's very low and then climbs its way up slowly... :)

I roughly understand that in each car, the petrol is liquid and may occupy different levels when the car is not stable(ie after a lot of left & right movements) causing the sensors to read different readings but in this case, I hope I can get some opinion from you guys.

Thanks :D

hey man im having the same problem, altho i dont think its related to turns more so bumps on the road and just randomly drops at other times allthough i have very stiff suspenstion so a twig on the road could set it off. It started to play up for me after i had a play with the tereo in the boot i asume i must of hit something in the process, im about to investigate it soon. the other thing is when my fuel gage drops to below zero the fuel light doesnt come on, i wonder if that could narrow the search down

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.

      The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?

      Majority of regulars are > 30. We all act at least 50. Definitely not friendly as we're all grumpy. 😛
