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

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
