hi guys

car: r33 GTS-T series II

Very interesting question. Each time I take a U-turn in a roundabout and the boost comes in , my fuel gauge decreases until it's very low and then climbs its way up slowly... :)

I roughly understand that in each car, the petrol is liquid and may occupy different levels when the car is not stable(ie after a lot of left & right movements) causing the sensors to read different readings but in this case, I hope I can get some opinion from you guys.

Thanks :D

hey man im having the same problem, altho i dont think its related to turns more so bumps on the road and just randomly drops at other times allthough i have very stiff suspenstion so a twig on the road could set it off. It started to play up for me after i had a play with the tereo in the boot i asume i must of hit something in the process, im about to investigate it soon. the other thing is when my fuel gage drops to below zero the fuel light doesnt come on, i wonder if that could narrow the search down

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
