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

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
