Hey guys,

Just thought we'd give you a look at what we plan to release later this month.

Our 1000hp R32 GT-R intank kit is in the final testing stages now.

It's completely made here in Australia of CNC billet aluminium.

Includes all fittings, relay, fuel pumps, filters, Gates submersible hose

Say goodbye to fuel odour in the cabin, hello to quiet operation and of course no one will even know you have it.

Simply bolt it in and off you go!

It will be priced at $1350

Also in the pipework we have the same kit to suit R33 GT-R, R34 GT-R, R33 GTS-T, S13, S14, S15, 2001 onwards WRX, FD RX-7

It will be exactly the same as factory, so ultimately for a circuit car you would still require a surge tank, but for the majority of big powered street cars, this will do the job and saves a lot of stuffing around.

for 1300 bucks it would want to do everything, I can see $300 worth of fuel pumps, the hose would cost 20 bucks and a bit of machine work.

I feel its over priced, when for 1300 bucks I could have 2 044 pumps (which would actually flow 1000hp worth of fuel), braided lines everywhere and a good surge tank.

Ps. not sayings its shit, its looks mint! but im not sure a single 5/16" fuel line to the rail and 2 walbros will support 1000hp

Its actually quite reasonably priced in my opinion. That part of my fuel system cost alot more than that, seeing how its all custom.

This is a straight bolt on solution with all the guess work taken out.

X2. Its neither an arse nor an elbow. Not suited to track work and way too pricey for what it is for a street car.

What he said, Im looking to upgrade fueling, but couldnt you add a surge tank in the mix, not many 1000hp street cars but lots of lower power cars that see the track/drags.

I may buy something like this if it could eliminate surge and supply ample fuel and still be all hidden away in a tank.

What he said. Looks like a nice, well engineered kit. But what market, BIGhp that doesnt get raced on low fuel as not o carry needless weight?!?!?! Sure you will still sell plenty as a well engineered fuel system saves a lot of labour costs

i am a week or so from doing a surge system , and in my opinion ( that's right mine) its too costly for what it is , i rekon with a few hours i could knock that up and add 2 bosch 040's and away u go.

and just for example .

surge tank with mounting brackets for 2 bosch 044's : $180 au devilered (at this price hardly worth making my own)

2 bosch 044's 200 bucks each

few ods and ends

+ this actually stops surge issues , i cant see how that system will

so well under 800 bucks u have a fuel system thats rated to well over 1000+ hp

not taking credit away it is a good idea, but i just don't think it would a big seller

c'mon Roy, 90% of big hp cars don't see the race track at all, 9% see it on the internet only. I guess 1% may visit a track once. 3 big hp GTRs in Aus regularly do track work.

so there is a market for this.

And you can be sure that billet fitting for the tank lid that seals properly costs a mint to produce. Looks excellent and much safer than the dodgy fittings most people use

On the positive side it looks well made..but does not address the fuel surge issues as already said & it is overpriced for what it is.

If the price was considerably lower it probably would be a fast selling item ..im sure people would overlook the surge side of things not being addressed if it

allowed them to supply the fuel demands needed at a reasonable price.

Exactly, if it were well under 1000 bucks It would sell like hotcakes, Hell I would have been asking about them for R33s if I still had mine.

It looks really good but like everyone else I'd be worried about the surging issues as my 33 is used for drift. May be interested once more details are released as was looking at going bigger pumps etc as i'm looking at changing to E85 and aiming for 400+rwkw.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
