Best mod i did was removing boot mounted twin 044 surge tank setup and replacing it with twin nismo intanks. No noise no smell operated like a factory fuel system.

Not worried about the noise , the Walbro is pretty quiet and they are intank ,If there is smell problem , there will be a surge tank for sale :)

Steve , any petrol smell with the Nuke ???

Thanks Steve, I could not find very much info on the Nuke Surge Tank but they looked pretty well made and using the Walbros was a plus.

Did you mount yours in the boot ?

Yep in the boot. No fumes as yet

Aeroflow 250 series black braided Teflon hose or similar is the product to use.

Right side puts the surge tank in front of the Attessa reservoir. If you don't mind having to remove the surge tank to check the reservoir, then great.

I think I will go the drivers side, depending on the size I might not have to move it to check the reservoir. I think when it arrives it will give us a better idea.

The other side has the jack and tools and allows a bit more luggage space. Sort of wish I put it under the car and if I have any problems that is what I will do.

Mine is in a r30 and its on the right side with Teflon braid. I used bulkhead fillings through the floor

not that it will make any difference but what did the Teflon braided cost for the job, just wondering the price difference between that and a cheaper alternative ?

Still going in tomorrow Pete?

Yes Mark , leave here around 4am , get a train and a bus back home and it just about drops me at my door, only $35 as to $400 getting to and from the Sydney shop , even though I flew to Sydney 1 Hr, 40min to the airport , they want you there an hour before the flight, 2 trains and get picked up at the station , it is about the same time :)

After he drops me off I think he will do a dyno run to have a look and be able to have a back to back comparison after the work is done.

Jez did mine and I can't smell shit. it's in the boot taking up space

Can still fit a few slabs of beer in so all good

He is going to use quality lines and I am sure it will be no problem

haha, couple of slabs would get you through Saturday :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
