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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
