You're definitely getting some great deals man.

May I ask where you guys normally install your surge tanks? Another reason I stayed away from it was that many told me you get a lot of fuel smell in cabin?

You shouldn't do as the tank should be shielded from the interior. Do you have room under the car?

Have you had a look at this:

Great article Bob, thanks for sharing that. Not sure if there's room under my car tbh, and I don't want to start butchering my trunk yet :)

BTW, can in tank fuel pumps be used as exterior ones later on if I want to convert them into a surge tank setup?

Depends on the pump - I know 044s can. If your aeromotive pump was also sold for exterior use it/they should be fine.

My surge tank is in the back of my wagon and a bit of a pain TBH

Its insulated and deosn't smell of petrol but it is noisy and takes uip space:

Mate use the Teflon Braided hose and NO fuel smells, Not many current braided rubber hose brands are compatible with current 98 octane fuels. The set up in the pic is single 044 external,800cc Siemans injectors, 4 bar fuel press at idle (no vac hose connected) made 550 AWHP

PS: OEM in tank pump supplies surge tank...

Cheers n good luck... Awesome price on Aeromotive pumps btw, we get shafted on Aeromotive and Magna-Flow stuff in Oz...

Under the car mate. Have a look at Alan's aka 33gtrv's build thread.

Drove on these for a few months, they're working great so far! Small problem though, they starve like crazy! If the tank is anywhere less than 80% full I have to be very conservative with my throttle input. Forget applying any throttle on right handers.

Can one run in-tank pumps externally? Or will they over heat? I'm seriously considering a surge tank setup now.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
