Dont stop when the pump auto cuts, I kept filling for ages after the pump cut off and got another probably 10L out of the tank
Oh and in case anyone was interested, It totaled to around $170 NZD Incl. Octane Booster at around $23 NZD.

The fuel tank, according to the specs is 60. I don't know if they changed the size in between models or with the facelift upgrade but I know many occasions of people getting 70L in. I drove from Dunedin to Queenstown (In NZ) a few months back, I filled up, right to the absolute maximum ie. fuel at the top of the pipe and it was 72L (Including octane bootser of 500ml).

Lads,
My gr will accept around 30 litres but then clicks off the whole time and gurgles etc etc.
It takes ages to fill it up.
Whats the hell is that about?

Pull the petrol nozzle out a bit so it stops clicking off then keep filling up to the 60l mark. Slightly different pump designs over in Japan I think.
