They lock them so no one can see their tunes, they did the same thing to my FC and Scott was able to get around it I would have expected more down low then that, you need to get someone else to tune

Nah I haven't that's why I commented that I prefer a setup to not be responsive.

So how can you say you prefer one if you havent driven the other?

Maybe buy a rb20 and put a gt45 on it if your serious about it.

This is what makes it hard for me to comment, I have driven one with a big single, smaller single and a 3.2. BUT I want to drive a standard R34GTR and the next time I go to Sydney I am going to find a car yard that has one and go for a drive in it.

Don't do it Pete.

After my 4th or 5th variation to my fuel system I've finally come full circle back to twin in tank 044's. Its a mission to get them in there, but worth the effort.

Concealed, no mess, no fuss.

No in car fuel smell.

The only other practical option is to go with a custom under spare wheel setup with external pumps, and the standard pump as the lift/filler pump.

In boot surge tanks take up space, leak vapour, and just get in the way. Technically not legal either, as the firewall is not 100% sealed between the driver compartment and the boot like it is with the engine compartment.

Thats a worry, I thought that it is the most common setup. A continuous fuel smell would drive me nuts.

I would have thought if they are done properly there would be no fuel smell unless there was a leak of some sort :(

A few thousand dollars in Teflon lines and AN fittings with bulk heads will fix a fuel smell, but it still looks messy, and like a octopus mating with the boot of your car.

Then there is the pump noise and power consumption. So then you have to plan to add an alternator too. It never ends.

Really when you consider it, there is no good place to put a surge tank in the boot of an R34. Jack left side, attessa reservoir on the right. Under the parcel shelf is full of electronics and a battery.

044's or the smaller walbro style pumps are really the only good in tank option. You cant run the turbine pumps because they don't self prime.

The R34 has an in-tank antisurge system with a deep pickup location, and a syphon from the left side of the car that ensures the right side of the tank is always holding more fuel. It makes sense to use what is already a good design.

      3d printing

      By KazTheKoala · Posted

      Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
