I have the motor in and carbies ready to go. The mechanical pump of my L24 fits into the 260 but will this supply enough fuel, or do i need a holly blue & regulator. Is anyone else running a 260 or280 and what fuel set up are you using? Please send info.

Thanks for the generous offer ghostrider, I'm in Mandurah. Ph 08 95818997. 6.30 pm is a good time to ring. Again thanks Rick. I have a suspicion we're not in the same state, could be a long drive for a p/gauge.

Hey mate. I am running twin SU's on an L26 and my Peirburg electronic fuel pump is maintaining a steady PSI right through the rev range. While I am having plenty of other problems, the fuel pump isn't one of them.

Have also seen good results with the Japanese Toiko pumps or even the stock electronic fuel pump from the 280zx. Good luck with it.

Hi coupe72001 and thanks for the reply.

Just a couple more questions. With your Peirburg pump are you using a regulator or is it naturally about 6 psi, I've read that's about the optimum pressure.

Also do you have the mechanical pump still in the mix of things. ie tank--filter--elec pump--mech pump --regulator, carbs.

Finally does the Peirburg make much noise and is it like a holly blue meaning it has to be lower than tank or does it suck fuel rather than gravity feed. Sorry for so many questions but this is the last piece of the puzzle and currently I'm stumped regarding what setup to use. Thanks Ricky. One more thing, are you using the fuel return line?

Ok...

1. I had a regulator, but my fuel guy threw it out! Said it was unneccessary - which has probably proven to be true as the fuel PSI holds steady.

2. My electric fuel pump seemed to suck well, but to be on the safe side I mounted it below the fuel tank at the back of the car, so it is "pushing" rather than "sucking".

3. It's noisy as all hell, which is good because I know when it's broken and I like noisy cars anyway.

4. I am using the same fuel line setup as the stock setup... I think.

5. I threw out the stock fuel pump. Steal a block-off plate to cover the hole from an injected car without power-steering... (maybe a 280zx or an r30???) or buy a nice billet chrome one from ebay America.

Hope that helps. I can post a few pics of my carby setup if you'd like.

For the record can anyone confirm how many PSI of fuel flow would be needed to feed twin 2' SU's. I thought it was only 3-4.

I'd certainly like to see some pics if it ain't a problem, and you didn't mention wether or not your using the return line.

So if your not using a regulator your pump must be a low psi 3-4 pump, maybe I should look it up on the net. Again thanks Ric. I've tried to put pics on with thread but must be doin something wrong.

I've had SU's and Webbers on L series engines before and I've only ever used the standard mechanical pump which I have been told by numerous carby tuners is more than adequate and with no pressure reg required. Is a bit more farking around with a leccy one too.

Cheers, Vaughan.

Vaughan I believe your right in what you say as I've just finished reading about an hours worth of threads, mostly American. It seems plenty of people are running just mechanicals.

The only issue I have now and hopefully someone can tell me is, i had to use my L24s or C210 78 skyline mechanical pump as the 260 one was removed. I've been reading my workshop manwell and the L24 mechanical pump, pumps around the 80 ltrs per hour.

What I need to know is, is this close to what the 240z mechanical pump can do.

Yeh rick all will be good, I have interchanged L4 and L6 pumps from all versions and as far as I am aware they are all one and the same. Good old nissan interchangability.

Sweeeet, I think this is now confirmed and I'll lay it to rest, but of course i'll let you know how it goes in practise . Thanks for the confirmation and all registered threads, your help is a... well a big help.

Cheers Rick.

Thanks Coupe72001.How's it going now, do you get good performance out of it?Are your S.U.'s 1.75 or 2'' and are they H.S series. Do you run a return line to the tank? Sorry about so many questions, just interested as mine is still a while away from running.

On the dizzy thread I've asked what induction you use,that's been answered thanks. I've just had some parts sent from England for my S.U's, got them off ebay and it took 6 days for delivery.Pretty good i thought. Cheers Ricky.

Hey Rick,

They are 2 inch from a Rover (most likely) and they are now going like the clappers. I had a poke around and it doesn't look like I use my fuel return anymore! I had forgotten that I disconnected it way back when I first swapped the carbys. I don't know if they are HS series or not, but if you tell me what to look for Ill find out.

Good work getting the carby bits promptly from the UK. I am learning to love ebay UK and US for getting some of the hard-to-find parts.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
