don't get me started on new fuel pumps. I put a Bosch unit in mine and it sucked up a piece of rubber which apparently came off the brand new hose I bought to connect it to the fuel filter sock thingo. Long story short the place I bought it from won't pay out as they say not pump fault but foreign object. I now have to buy second brand new pump. :rolleyes: Will be going to place where I bought the "fuel line" off to give them a piece of my mind and hopefully recover the hole in my wallet.

Niz, good thing they identified that there was no fuel going in, you don't want to go through a rebuild due to the car running lean like i just did, particularly partially unemployed. I think mine's cost me nearly $5K now and my old boy and I have done most of the labour ourselves!

I'm sure you'll have more luck than i did with your fuel pump. Paul knows what he's doing doesn't he :confused:

Has Paul ever fitted a fuel pump before ...... No. But he's donig it at SST's so help should be on hand if he needs it :( I hope my car cooperates for him ...... my car is very uh female and can be rather uncooperative for Paul.

Yes i have rego to pay in the next couple of days and at the moment thats quite expensive enough!! Good that your car is nearly on the road tho :rolleyes:

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
