I have a 33 gtst, and as most do, the fuel level sender has come off its bracket in the tank.

before i made this thread i spent an hour up to my elbow in fuel, crouched in my trunk and another 30 minutes on this site reading all the threads on the subject.

they all say something to the affect of "it just slides onto the bracket next to the fuel pump"

ok well thats great. BUT, does it go horizontally, vertically, how is it orientated? keep in mind, this has to be all done by feel, you cant see inside your tank unless you toss a flashlight in there.

can someone draw up a quick paint diagram?

awesome. 14 views.

well, i managed to finish it myself, and in case anyone is wondering,

it sits to the right of the fuel pump on the front wall of the tank. it is canted at an angle with the bottom closest to the front of the car and the top slanted toward the trunk

there is a prong, about 2cm that sits horizontally, and points to the passenger side of the car. there is a hoop on one side of the fuel sender. that is the front. catch the hoop on the prong and slide it to the driver side of the car. you will feel a positive click when it is in place.

re-install, go drive your car down the road and hit a pot hole so it can fall off again, while your coilpacks are arcing causing a misfire.

terrific cars.

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
