speaking of manuals, here is the R34 manual (english), a FAQ and also a book on skylines which is an interesting read. most of you might already have it, but this one is for the new owners or soon to be godzilla jockeys! R34 Manual (English) FAQ - New owners click here! Skyline Book - The Sky Is The Limit!

| Re: Maintaining a Skyline (how to?)
wow! i've always thought our car filled up at 60 litres but its 72 litres actually?can anyone clarify this?
i nvr wait until the lights came up(but i nvr know as well coz i took off my dash and noticed one bulb missing, so i take it as the fuel low lights)so i always refill when my metre goes to E.At E point, i can only refill until about 52 liters, so i take it 8 litters are roughly the emergency reserve. So..if its 72 litters then i can safely assume i still have 20 litters in my car when i pump at point E? | |

GTSt32 - 60L
R33 GTR/GTSt - 65L
R34GTR/GTT - 65L
Std reserve fuel tank in most car will relocate MIN 3L. So with skyline STD mod, should clock arnd 30KM range when the light pop up~ | |
