doctor austin Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Petrol is expensive...but so much cheaper than Stella and more fun! I could not imagine driving a car that I found boring but still had to pay for the fuel Quote

Chris`I Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 How do we know thats a 350z manual? +1 Also what year of JDM do you have? Quote
doctor austin Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Oh come orf it.............Dont you still believe me! why on earth would I make it up. Its a late 2003 JDM with leather seats and Brembo's, 18 wheels................. I am just a bit curious why some assume imports have smaller petrol tanks, with my car I got all the standard Japanese documentation including two copies of the owners handbook, both showing 80L. I doubt if its had a new tank also. But anyways having owned the car for a year now I love it and still really enjoy driving it...till it comes to filling the tank Quote
cb350 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I have an '03 JDM, filled it up today and got 70 litres in before the pump cut out. Didn't try to top it way up to the top though. I drove it for quite a while with the fuel light on - the DTE gauge eventually started flashing with dashes, it was telling me something like 20 miles until empty then suddenly didn't give me a figure anymore. Difficult to tell how much further I could've driven, but taking the gauge's word, that would've mean I had about a gallon and a bit left, maybe 5 - 6 litres I suppose, so that's pretty close to 80 litres.

doctor austin Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Thank you...see I am not so mad Quote
ijam Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 My 2003 definitely has an 80 litre tank. Apart from having filled it up with 78 at the pump before (yes that was cutting it far too fine), I also have the Nismo instrument pod which I fitted before bringing the car back with me from Tokyo - primarily because that has a speedo with MPH as well as KPH. The fuel gauge on that has "80" printed on it at the top and 40 halfway down. (which is a shame because I think it would look better with no numbers on at all) Quote
ianphampton Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 My Owners manual said the same - 80 litres Seems pretty obvious to me. ( Ahem . . . .Harumph!) Quote
Ken Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 £1.30 a litre, send some up this way for the shed Quote
