i read for the R33 when i had mine, that the fuel light came on when there was approximately 7L left in the tank. one could assume the same for the stagea. i've driven for up to half an hour on my fuel light and not had a problem. helps to squeeze that little extra out of a tank

i never really bother. Under 1/4 and i fill up.

When installing the fuel pump, i was told the fuel tank design is different in the stagea in that there is a little "pocket" in which the fuel pump sits, meaning it is 100% the lowest point in the tank.

Ive driven around 2 days (~50km) with the light on and my 040 was still able to suck fuel up

couldnt agree more tangles

i filled up $91 the other day.... 66L... yepp... I KNOW ITS A 65L tank :D

Dunno how many litres but $68 for 98/10 from when the light came on.

Currently using 15or16/100.

Would like toget a kickback from AWB.

ok, first re-fill, some very varied driving including some babying (while I had an exhaust manifold leak that sounded scary) some highway cruise, on most drives I managed give it a poke in the guts once or twice, and one rip through a very twisty section of the Ocean Road late one night mid week after I fixed that manifold leak...

390km/51Litres

~13L/100KM

Not bad, I think it could do all right on a long open road trip, filled up with a bit under 1/4 of a tank and got the 51 Litres in so there was ~15L left if it is a 66L tank, that would have been close to 500km to a tank, that sounds all right to me.

I try to fill up around the 1/4 tank mark as it doesn't hurt so much, just more often I guess...

Cheers

revving on the hwy is the fuel comsumption killer

its cycling through the load axis on the fuel map that waste's fuel.

as soon as you open any decent amount of throttle it will drop on the load map on the stock ecu and the afr's will richen up too all hell, which is where the economy goes out the window

if you do a full tank of 100km/h driving with a steady throttle you'll get some kick ass economy, assuming the narrow band sensor and 02 feedback is working correctly

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
