Ok bit of a different question for everyone out there well versed in the r33 fuel system..

The fuel tank, the fuel pump sits on the RHS/driver side of the tank with the fuel level sender, theres a secondary loom that runs off the fuel level sender that goes to the left side of the tank and down to the bottom left corner, what its attached to, i can't see or figure out..

is it attached to another level sender, or is there a secondary pump buried down there to transfer fuel over from the left side of the tank to the right, or does the fuel transfer work of a vacum setup using the return line from the motor, looking at the return line setup at the top of the tank this seems likely, i just want to make sure there isn't a fuel pump down there that may need power.

anyone who's hacked apart a tank or has a manual with this info, id love to hear from you..

pretty sure having looked thorough at the tank cap its a vacum pickup to grab fuel out of the LHS side of the tank, so im pegging it must be part of the fuel level sender, i just can't get a hand intp the tank deep enough to trace the wires down to see what they're attached to..

just trying to make sure its only a 5v power signal it needs to the sender or if it might possible need 12v, anyone got a factory 33 manual handy?

could it be the sensor for the low fuel dash light? I have noticed that my low fuel light is completely inconsistent with the fuel gauge so it would make sense that the sensors for each were in completely different spots.

I think that might be what it is, sounds like a good theory

I typed "R33 FSM" into the address bar of firefox and was linked to an old forum page titled R33 FSM, second post was this;

You can clearly see the particular piece of electronic you are referring to in the diagrams..... But it does not tell you anything about it LOL sorry dude.

P.S. have more faith in google....

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
