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 expect a lot from a stocker Pete. You'll get out and wonder what all the fuss is about after being 'spoilt' with your own car

If I do not try, I will never know :)

About time you got out of bed :yes:

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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
