So I need some fuel system parts. Not much going on here in Canada or the US as far as I can find.

Torques U.K (ebay shop) sells what I'm after but I can't find reliable reviews. Are their parts really comparable to Aeroquip/earls and are their pumps legit Bosch 044s? Thanks guys.

Setup is overkill for 600whp but our tuners suck as does our fuel lol need to go rich.

They would have everything but a cooler fo me...

Another option is a locally (well, to us anyway) and very trusted company "Motorsport Connections" in Seven Hills in Sydney. http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp

Just an option for you as these guys have heaps of good reviews so if you dont use ebay and need a back up it's a great place to start.

Ah good stuff. They seem to have what I'm after but can't seem to find what make of hose and fittings they use. I currently have earls lines and need the Teflon lines for the trunk only so it all has to fr snug.

Can't seem to find many -8 fittings for earls -8 Teflon lines...

On that note, maybe someone can confirm what I'm thinking here. I've done some searching but didnt come up with much. My car is modded a fair bit but the fuel worries me...

So, for 650whp (so I don't have to upgrade a 3rd time when I change the turbo down the road), will twin -6An feeds (out of twin 044s/ 3L swirl pot) and -8 return be ok for flow? Using HKS fuel rail and ID 1000cc injectors with tomei lift pump.

Would I need a -10 return?

Back on topic, anyone recommend a good fuel cooler for the -8 or -10 return? Checking out setrab for a cooler.

Our tuners around here get us into the low 10 to high 9:1 afr (on 94 pump) at wot, so my fuel is taxed haha

I ordered teflon fuel lines from Torques UK after my locally supplied teflon hoses leaked continuously. His ones have been fine for over a year running e85, never leaked once. I run twin Walbro's, twin -6 lines with a single -6 return and fuel pressures are fine.

Make sure you always match the fittings with the same brand of hose, eg. if you have Earls lines get Earls fittings.

I need to look into a fuel cooler myself if anyone has information on them.

Ah thanks for the feedback on torques. So when you say locally, what shop or make of hose was that (you can pm if it'll insult someone on a public forum...)

As for the fittings, I plan on using the hose ends sold with the hose but will attempt to transition to my earls front lines with unions....... Might have us O ringed -an threads...

My that's a small return. When you idle or cruise, doesn't 99% of the fuel return? Those pumps should be overkill on a single -6 (return) no?

If you look at the hole in the bottom of the reg you will realise the -6 line is plenty but you can use -8 if you're worried. Like I said I have no issues with my setup.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
