Not much achieved on the weekend, resprayed the radiator air deflector as it was flaking..... Replaced some dodgy bolts with nicer stainless items and cleaned up the 2 front A/C brackets, so much to do.........

The fuel cooler is setup from the return line to the cooler then to the surge tank.

Ahh ok cool, the same way i've done it then.

Is this the 'best' location for it?

Have any of you guys got a temp sensor in your fuel system somewhere? If so, where?

I'm putting one in mine, my idea was to have it in the return line just before the fuel cooler.

No temp sensor in mine at this stage, however i would love to be able to monitor it....

And yes i believe the location is the only spot for it, it is setup similar to the Z tune i think :)

I would put the sensor just before the fuel rail so you know what temperature the fuel is when it gets to the engine. Knowing what it is pre-cooler doesn't help much?

My reason for putting the temp sensor post fuel reg, in between the fuel cooler is this should theoretically be the hottest part of the fuel system?

I would imagine so, either location is still going to give you an indication if the fuel temps are rising.... I still find my surge tank getting hot which i dont think is normal, however everything is running optimal so i guess it is?

One thing i did learn is that the fuel cooler has ruined my normal jacking up procedure, if i jack the back first it makes the front too low, now if i jack the front first i get this -

LOL and yes that is a snap on super low jack already!

All good, will just have to change the way i do it!

And i broke another POS ISC arm in the rear, they flog out or break in no time! Garbage! So i replaced it with more cheap stuff for now until i can afford to do it properly -

GKTech make billet ones, no welds ;)

This will need to be my next purchase i think! I have now replaced the shitty ISC front caster rods with GKTECH arms and the car feels so much better! And they are so light too!

How is the tank plumbed from top to bottom?

There are 4x hoses that connect to the surge tank. All should be at different heights. But some tank are different.

Eg theres two ways to dot it.

From top to bottom;

1.

- Return to main tank

- Return from fuel rail

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

2.

- Return from fuel rail

- Return to main tank

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

Which way is yours done?

The 1st option heats the fuel as the surge tank has to be pressurised to return fuel to the main tank. The main pressure pump and the lift pump have to work harder to fully fill the surge tank allowing fuel to flow out of the top fitting back to the main tank.

You want a small air gap at the top of the surge tank with the return line back to the main tank jn between the return from the rail and the lift pump inlet.

If that makes sense?

I just double checked so i didnt get it completely wrong :P

Fuel tank to surge tank, feeds twin 044s to twin lines to each side of rail, center of rail returning via fuel reg to return line to surge tank over flow to fuel cooler into fuel tank, tank feeds surge.

Loving the build mate. Engine bay looks clean and stealthy...

Thanks mate! Makes it well worth it when not only do i get to enjoy the car BUT i get people appreciating the hard work and money etc that goes into such a build ;)

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
