Just add heaps of nitrous. 

Before you do that, make sure your ring gaps are good first.

How can I buy any of these things you keep recommending when you won’t even fit it to your own car

With gtr fest and 2020 done and dusted now is the time to start removing parts that are being replaced.

first cab of the rank is the frenchies twin in tank kitF38C0213-397D-49E3-8D54-DF86F1175FFA.thumb.jpeg.02b9aeb5aa185cf738cb3b6f0c7d9a55.jpegfirst I fitted a 460 into the original cradle and put it back where it lives in the tank

then I modified the original top hate to take -8 and put some wire through that can hold some current and sealed them with some fuel resistant epoxy 5E28E925-ACEA-4FCF-B979-EDA896CBAB24.thumb.jpeg.9ccc3c57ef8e4b64bf4edf6ebcbc26f0.jpeg

Hi mate. Replace that shit ASAP. Please tell me you never used the factory return line, as it reduces down to about 4mm in the cradle, not the best to be honest. That is way too close for terminal separation when pumps fail. Could've been done much better in the wiring, just glad it didn't fail on you.

Aren't you going a surge tank ? Why the FPG twin in tank setup, when the single FPG top hat will be sufficient when running external pumps from a surge tank ?

Sorry only just saw this, I had the frenchys in tank twin set up with -8 feed and return lines and just removed it to fit a single pump back in. 

ive modified the factory hat to take -8 feed and return hoses to a surge tank that I’m waiting to arrive and that’ll have twin pumps in it.

I wanted the factory hat back in for the fuel light to work again and the gauge to read like factory again.
 

The return port doesn’t connect to anything inside the tank it’s just open and pours straight into the tank 

Running wires through the lid like that is a bad idea. They aren't properly isolated from the fuel, and fuel can get up and out of the tank through the wire. It's like you have glued a straw in (the straw has a wire in it so not as bad)

 

You wil notice your tank won't pressurise, meaning there is a leak.

Also - what fuel resistant epoxy are you using? Epoxies are generally not fuel resistant long term, you need a specialist epoxy like a phenol novolac for that. They also don't bond well to that sort of plastic, so you're going to have it shrink and pull away from the plastic fuel lid.

We have a modified factory top hat too in the white 32 with 3 x 6mm bulkhead fuel pump electrical terminals, an8 feed and return bulkhead fittings, factory sender, factory fuel light sensor. It's tight. It had a twin Walbro 460 setup in the factory pump cradle and revised it to go back to a single Walbro 525 in factory cradle. We feed the return in the tank back into the factory pump cradle with a 3/8" submersible gates hose.

I saw you were looking for a factory pump sock - an aftermarket version which is identical is available from Taarks/EFI solutions.

What lift pump and twin feed pumps are you going to use ?

Regarding the FPG kit - shouldn't the fuel gauge read like factory as it is a 0 - 90 ohm sender just like the factory unit is ? I want to go to an Frenchy's top hat in my blue 32 and know the fuel light sensor you can raid off your factory setup, and integrate that into the new top hat easily. Just need to add one more bulkhead terminal.

Did you say you wanted to give me your FPG top hat ? 👍

man ben i seriously value your threads and information. I read lots when i can and you have answered endless questions for me. guys like us over here in canada would be stuck without great mates like yourself when it comes down to the nitty griddy stuff! cheers hope all is well mate with the cars, just got all my parts so will be throwing that motor together soon.

I ended up getting my hands on a factory fuel sock, the feed pump is a walbro 460 it was one of the ones from the frenchys kit.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
