Where is the Low Fuel Indicator Light in the R33 GTST Series II? I have run the needle down to "E" and it never comes on. Does this model have one?? It's got to!!

In the dash I have following indicators. some are ECU, OIL, Seat Belt etc. Is it one of these??

*the underscores are only representing space between the indicators. Cause it drops the extra spaces in the view.

Thanks

Its there, the needle goes past the E before it lights up.

How many litres of petrol you reckon the tank would have when the needle is at E?? Cause I find the division of the fuel tank guage are not very proportionate as I expected. At Half tank if I fill it up to Full, it only puts in 20-25 litres which is not correct. Half tank should be at 30-32 litres.

I hope this makes sense.

Well I've run mine (s1.5) past the E and ran with the light on for a while to see how far it'd go... (ala sienfeld!)

Eventually the engine started sputting if i was on a hill or accelerating anyhting more then a 900cc charade could do.

Went to fill it up and it put 63.9 litres in... so considering fuel lines, plus fuel pump, i reckon it was just about empty.

So now, when the light comes on, I look for a BP... :D

If I had to estimate I'd say around 30kms left after the light came on...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
