Hi Everyone,

Picked up my 300GT today. Really nice car and amazing value for money.

I think I read somewhere that the tank is 80L. Can anyone confirm this?

I was low on fuel, light was on and my interpretation of the trip computer was that I only had about 50km left in the tank. So when I filled up it took 58 litres. If it is an 80 litre tank then my gauge is faulty, as is the trip computer. 80 seems like a lot to me......

I have wondered the same. the most fuel I have put in my 350GT sedan is about 62L and that was with the fuel light on for the last 20km and the gauge showing just over the empty mark.

Pretty sure it's a 80 litre tank as well. Had at approx. 800km out of a tank on a trip to VIC a while back.

Might have to chuck a jerry can in the boot and go for it.

I was on empty for ages yesterday, and the trip computer said I had less than 50kms left. When I filled up it took 61 litres. Something is not right here. It cannot be an 80l tank if the trip computer says there are only 50kms left and yet it still has 19 litres int he tank....

^ yeah.. if they do have an 80L tank, the fuel light comes on with 1/4 of a tank left..

Someone in another thread mentioned there is a write up on cleaning the fuel level sender which may fix this.. I'm not too worried about mine, as long as I don't ever run out of fuel..

Will say the 250GT isn't as thirsty as I thought, proved alot of people wrong with it's economy. Man you can feel the extra weight with a full tank hahaha.

It is an 80L tank according to Nissan.

That's a bit interesting. A few weeks ago, the fuel light was on. So I put $50 worth of Petrol in my car, at that time $50 got almost 34Lt of Unleaded. Then then next day, I would add some engine cleaning fluid in it. therefore I topped up the tank, but it took only $23 worth of Petrol. Then the tank was full. It also spilled out of the tank a little bit.

You guys are saying that it is 80Lt thank. How on earth is that possible. By the way with that much petrol (approximately 55Lt) I did almost 600km (it would be much more if it wasn't driving to work-busy freeway, damn trafic light here and there...etc.)

So wehre is the rest of my fuel tank.

Well I put 61.570Lt @ $1.659/L and it came to $102.14 and that was from just under a quater of a tank till it was full to the brim and I couldn't fit anymore in.

Can't remember the range till empty figure but it lasted who solid weeks

i barely get 450km from a full tank... usually about $100 of premium. thats all city suburbs, no highway and no peak hour. and the fuel meter says i average 12L/100km

i definitely dont trust the fuel range display. when full, it says i have a range of 650km.... but have never made it last even 500.

i had the light come on at E on the guage, the meter said i had 77km to go..... 2 km later and it said i had 23km to go.... then it said 0km...

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
