The idea is to fit them without hacking a big hole into the car.

Quality work by TRPs work experience kid.

Plus, who'd be crazy enough to line a nice sharp metal edge sitting to your fuel line?

That's a pathetic job and you paid them for it.

It is black sharpie pen, the rectangle.

Not a hole.

Even if they are bulkhead fittings, they're not fitted right. 

See the top one here, if that's a bulk head, that flat ring should be firmly against the bulkhead mating surface. 

With this there'll be less tension and over time with vibrations it will move, and start to give. 

It should be a specified diameter circular hole, then they cleanly fit into them.

The sarcasm was clearly missed in my previous post. You'd see f**king light through it if it was a hole.

And you say you have an eye for detail.

 

Not if there's no light on the other side or those lines come out through the bottom of something that covers over the hole... 

*groan* I'm reached my pain threshold for the day, off to enjoy my evening with a few bevvies.

When I get back I'm happy to talk about taking some bets on what gets Benny first. 

  • Catastrophic fire. 
  • Crash due to suspension pick up points rusting through or something similar. 
  • Engine failure due to stock rods. 
  • Crash due to shit driving.

Have fun gents.

Are there teflon bulkhead washers? 

**edit

Was asked to also post the following:

Of course there is washers. The reason you don’t see them is because we didn’t use tiny fuel fittings like you did. The big boys use -8AN. I’ll be over 500kw in no time. P.s I couldn’t even fit a ham sandwich in that surge tank mate.

What if he’s vegan and doesn’t want a ham sandwich

Err, if you used washers, we'd see them. The washer gets bigger when the fitting gets bigger just like with a nut and bolt. Washer is always larger diameter than the nut/fitting. Visibly you have none. :)

Benny, you had some "none mint" items be pointed out in your "mint" car, the photos speak greater words than those you're typing. You have once again become the laughing stock of SAU. You claim one thing, and post photographic evidence stating the opposite. 

good work son, keep it up, I and the other boys haven't had as good of a laugh like this in a while :)

Invisible washers??

I do like the ham sandwich as a volume measurement, pretty handy when planning a fuel system. Fuel lines need to be able to fit a kalamata olive through them to be any good, have you checked that yet?

I’ll take detail photos once I get my GoPro Hero 7 black back. I’ll wind it up to 4K resolution. 

Not putting an olive to check my fuel system. The build is to F1 standards not DIY pal

Mine flows 600 kalamata olives per millisecond. 

Still only making 250kalamata watts at the wheels so, so the other 350 olives per millisecond are just getting cooked being pumped to a heat source and back. Should I add a cooling rack in so that I can eat the cooked olives safely or just blow on them before consuming?

Haha I’ll float the car to Adelaide and line you up on the circuit mate. We can put $5000 on it to make it worthwhile. You’ll probably get crossed up trying to match my late braking & end up in a tyre barrier, so when I win you shall refer to me as “The Don” and comment my thread admitting the car is a museum piece 

The more you blokes yap, the quicker I’ll have a 9280 on the car. Ill be in excess of 300kmh before Matt, MLR & Dan even get to 100.

And once I’ve taken the pink slips I’ll request my username to be changed to ElPinkSlipCollector.

Why are you collecting safety certificates? They're only worth like $30. Can you not afford them after your fuel system ate your ham sandwich for lunch?

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
