'95 240sx, my fuel gauge points as far down as the plastic will let it even though there is plenty of gas in it. I tried to check the sending unit but it's not like a conventional unit with a float, it looks wierd can anyone help?

make sure your cluster harness is plugged in securely!
not plugged into the back of the harness, but white and black plugs that go to the car itself.

try it out. i had the opposite problem of yours, my fuel gauge was going FULL when it was really empty.

edit: oh wait, you have an S14. try it anyway. might work, who knows.
