I can't see why the surge tank would be a problem. You may not be happy with Brad but that doesn't make his aluminium corrode. Plus I've been running one of his tanks about 12mths longer than you without any issues, there are plenty of them out there.

I think you need to look somewhere else. Feel free to point and laugh if I'm wrong

everything has been replaced

and now i can trace the source of the shit due to the multiple reusable filters

and there is definitely gritty alloy like stuff coming out of the surge tank

either way i will pull it apart and find out if its the problem

and put a fuel cooler on it now

Brad had a bad habit of not cleaning out his well-crafted parts properly and maybe that could be your problem big fella. I would stick with the fuel you are using,,,it has to come good sooner than later.

I have a purpose built fuel cooler off an X5 3.0l Diesel that you can use tiger. I currently run one on my car and it works a treat. Here's some pics for your love.

Plumb this bitch straight into your return line and cool that fuel baby.

Not sure if its helpful or not.

Thanks for that mate, I looked before but gave up cause to many pages lol

So that is just a regular 23 row oil cooler with a custom air duct/protector ?

Looks very nice and neat :thumbsup:

Yep, it will need some relocation or modification if i ever get around to doing underbody aero stuff... Its not really copping any air due to the diff being in its face but the fuel pumps have been nice and quiet since its been fitted so its certainly doing something, since the issue has been sorted we have not bothered logging fuel temps etc...

Neils compact design is probably a lot more practical and obviously more cost effective :)

  • 3 weeks later...

so last track day i noticed that after a few laps she started to get lean
and after about 6 hards laps would develop a missfire

so naturally i though my fuel was clogging my injectors again
checked them at the track and seemed fine
had them flowed and they were fine
anyway the internets told me when e85 gets real hot it leans out
and i decided that my surge tank was running dry ( its only about 1 litre and a average design)
the insides of the cheap alloy had ben oxidising and running thought the fuel lines as well
old setup

ill stick it on my r31 i think as it loves fuel surge

so fuel setup number three was drempt up

biggest walbro you can buy for the intank

trusty twin o44's

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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
