OK damnit.. I thought the guage was broken, but when I filled the tank up in the mornin to go drive the Vert.. the needle went up.. but now I have driven like 100 miles and it is on "e" again but it goes up to half tank sometimes.. WTF? is this a common problem..?

Is that rim the rim that the dealer said he'd replace it with or is he gonna get you a BBS rim to match the rest?

Oh and my old FC kind had a varying display. For instance on the way to school I'd have less than an 8th of a tank left and then when I drive home it'd be like 1/4 full again. It wasn't totally acurate.

No, that rim is the Skyline rim my friend loaned me.. I have a lead on a shop that might be able to get me a set.. I think I will try that..

could it just be a bad ground for the fuel guage

inclines will affect the guage a lot. When in my driveway (20-30 degree incline) my guage will show about 1/4 less than what it really is. Are you going up or down any hills?

anyone know how much you got left when the gas light come on?

RXciting 04-14-2003 01:02 AM

well i put 10L from totally empty and the light was still on level ground so i guess somewhere over 10L?
