Been a bit slack the last couple of weeks but have been doing a lot of parts gathering IMG_4991.thumb.JPG.b403a9eed0b78edebb9ec2dbdba69302.JPGand here is the result of my collecting so far, after working out the fuel system wasn't going to be up to the job I decided to go all out

First thing to get fitted was the kit the tank hat belongs to 

IMG_4998.thumb.JPG.bc8c290289b0a21eee1cf9ed223b25e0.JPGIt comes with a baffle to help prevent the fuel surge that's common in these cars

that is an awesome setup....solves so many annoying problems.  are you happy with how will the new baffle/mount fits into the tank's original plastic holders to stop everything moving?

There's is a little bit of movement once it's all clipped in but nothing to be concerned about, I had to remove it back out of the clip when I dropped a nut while installing it and there's no way it's coming out by itself

Speaking of the rail I fitted that yesterday IMG_4992.thumb.JPG.cc20d45fbc6f8442252bdca0b9142b5c.JPGbut first I fitted the new injectors which are a 1250cc with the stainless internals IMG_4993.thumb.JPG.3d5e8700427e6c3f1a1a1568b51f3956.JPGall 6 fitted into the rail and ready go into the car IMG_4994.thumb.JPG.d9cdc0294bc7d9641c627cfe96b108f4.JPGand fitted to the engine 

Which also required a new fuel press regulatorIMG_4995.thumb.JPG.47f18ed9168164626879d5fb4819e180.JPGso I went with an ever reliable turbosmart one

Spent quite a bit of time over the last couple of days doing the fuel lines from front to back, it starts as a -8 from the tank and runs to the engine bay into the fuel filter, where it then splits into twin -6 and heads up to either end of the fuel railIMG_5076.thumb.JPG.3bdd561cb1ed8aa0eefd57cd3bb52a50.JPGIMG_5075.thumb.JPG.3ae8b07fc79e8e2ddffa83ce3ecff0ec.JPGthen comes out of the center of the rail to the pressure regulator IMG_5023.thumb.JPG.df50bdff7b0cdc10a6653532474b10ce.JPGI used the port where the pcv use to be for the vacuum signal and the original port for the pressure reg now only does the the map sensor 

Had to trim a little bit to get the hoses on to the top hat and also ran all new wiring for the 2 fuel pumps and fuel gauge IMG_5033.thumb.JPG.74b3f74c7ca44f59c9e5b76fedf50b3f.JPGand after the cover was put back on with all the wiring tapped up it looks like it was done by Nissan IMG_5034.thumb.JPG.2532bf35c77255fa9e8fc9b2944d7e8a.JPG

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
