God. I wonder how many $$$ worth sitting there in that mess. The owner must be devastated. In saying that. I could only dream of having a shed full of broken ferraris.

Um, this happened almost 17 years ago....... The guy who owned them was a "recluisive" (read wierdo) millionaire property developer named Walter Medlin, more famous for the fact that he lost everything to the IRS, and his vehicle collection was valued by them to be in excess of 20 million US! Obviously that "barn" was for the lower end of his collection, because he also had a 1967 330 P4 V12 racer that was 1 of only 4 ever built. A car that I personally, believe to be quite possibly the most beatiful car ever created. Its also the car that the GT40 whupped at Le mans.

    • Before you replace the tank, removed it and check all of the breather hoses and the seal for the level sender unit. I just bought all the hoses for mine because that was what I found after removing the tank 
    • Putting aside the part where they are in fact interchangeable you need to know that Nissan part numbers don't work the way you think they work. The first half of the part number just means it's the same kind of part (fuel tank). The second half is what determines the specifics of that part. For example R32 GTR specific parts or something that originated with an R32 GTR is often 05U00. R33 GTR specific parts are often 24U00.
    • You certainly can use a WGNC34 tank in a R32 GTR, they are different part numbers but functionally identical. I have some pics comparing them in the last few pages of my Stagea build thread BTW you can't trust the same part code "17201" to say it is identical, you need to use the VIN to get the 17201-xxxxx part number to be sure from a FAST point of view. Even then of course there are examples like this where there are 2 part numbers but they are interchangeable. 
    • The 4WD version is harder to find so I compared the parts diagrams of the two https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/whc34/5414-rb20de/engine/172/17453/ and https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/287-rb26dett/engine/172/17201/ seems like the same part is called out: 17201...what with WHC34 tank work?
    • Thanks man, car is registered! Time to enjoy it. But if anyone has questions let me know happy to help others avoid my pitfalls.
