  1. i'm just about to buy a rear bar myself. Its a series 2 auto rwd.

    Is the white line bar the best option? those links don't look the best.

    Sorry for thread jack :)

    I suppose you could add some spacers and use longer bolts to reduce the angle.

  2. All sorted. Ended up running 6 or 8 gauge cable through directly to pump. As my connector was melted, i managed to pull out one of the terminals easily and drill a hole, the other side was a bit harder but managed to drill a hole there also. Squeezed the cables through the holes, then filled up the socket with epoxy.

    Got a plug off a mate, a 50amp Anderson plug, its fairly big and way overkill but will certainly do the job!

  3. Hey got a question.. Im going to give my rb25det neo a fresh rebuild and will be using it for both street and drift. What's the advantage if any of using the rb30 bottom end? Or should i just stick with the rb25?

    Opinions ?

    Seriously? well its 20% more capacity for a start.
  4. Cheers guys. I was aware of the extra current draw, but I suppose I was just hoping for the best :)

    I have already wired it directly to the battery , cant remember the size but it was definitely suitable.

    i am going to get some epoxy tomorrow, (after I check to see if I already have some) and a decent connector.

    Was planning on drilling out the existing socket to run the wires through there, that way the epoxy can pool up in the recess nicely

  5. Hi all

    A few weeks ago I installed an E85 Walbro 460lph pump, directly fed from battery, and had car tuned.

    When pump was installed, I was surprised how quiet it was. Over the last few days I noticed it become slightly louder, nothing serious, but thought it was a little strange.

    Drove home from work, all good, went to move car and no go. Could hear fuel pump not pumping, but could hear relays clicking. Pretty pumped that it decided not to go while I was at home and didn't need to go anywhere!

    Checked all wiring, and power was being supplied to the pump. I still had the old pump so decided to swap it over so I could drive the car. When I pulled out the pump I noticed the plug going to the fuel tank lid was melted, along with the plug underneath going to the pump. This is the reason the pump was not working, confirmed with a multi meter. I still refitted old pump as I am now worried about current draw.

    The plug/socket that has melted has now actually got a leak to the fuel tank, which is an issue!

    This is in a Stagea, not sure if the tank is similar to Skylines. I have searched but not found anything.

    Now I am wondering what to do. I need to buy a new lid, and don't really want to run an external pump.

    Maybe it was just a freak occurrence and wont happen again (dirty plug?)

    I have considered modifying the damaged lid and running thick gauge cables through directly and epoxying them in, but not sure how it would go with the fuel.

    So my current options are

    1- Replace damaged bits and hope it doesn't happen again.

    2- Run an external pump

    3- modify lid to accept larger cables.

    I am open to any suggestions / comments

    Cheers,

    Ben

    EDIT

    Noticed there are heaps of fuel safe epoxies.

    I think I will go for option 3

    Pics, didnt take a pic of the internal plug.
