I have a set of good stock z32 TT injectors

Yo, you still want one of these? Brand new, old stock. Good price. PM me for info

And that is exactly the bit I have an issue with. If you are paying attension to your surroundings, flowing with traffic etc etc, going a bit over the posted limit should not be an issue. Going 700km/hr through a school zone or built up area, sure, throw the fricking book at em.

I only ever felt out of control driving a car one time, very briefly. Lift off oversteer in a 97 pulsar, on a road that I have driven 1000 times. Wasn't very familiar with the car and was pushing quite hard. I was never in a position that I was going to kill anyone however. There is a time and a place for everything, even speeding. Re: outdated speed limits, yes, in nearly all cases they are very outdated, but what some do not consider is that there is a metric shittonne more cars on the road now. And retards. Stack more retards. And they are breeding. I commute nearly 50kms each way every day on a moto and see heaps of them. I saw a guy brushing his teeth while driving a few weeks ago. That was a new one. Mobile foneing both text and talk, newspapers, makeup, eating breakfast, searching for something in the back. I see all of these things nearly every day. People just need to focus on the task of not running into anything, everything else (keeping eyes attached to the speedo included) can wait. Edit: I am 35

Zeds don't have a boot, so technically are in cabin. Any fuel components in a zed boot need to be sealed off. Plus that's where the roof goes! I am happy where the under car stuff is located that they are protected by the rails somewhat. I am more worried about the bottom of the fuel pump than anything else, but should be ok because I have a reasonable ride height. The front pipes on the exhaust typically take the scraping over speed bumps etc, don't have too many issues in the rear.

Had a bit more progress. Finished the plumbing. Ran the regulator output for pump speed control. Made some guards and heat shields. Got dash back in mostly. I ended up putting the ethanol sensor here. I am not sure how long the cable from the board in the ecu (nistune) is so I wanted to keep it fairly close. I'll run it through a hole in the floor if I have to. This is where I have the 10AN filter and the split from 10AN to 2 x 6. This is the drivers side dump, where the 2 x 6 lines run up the firewall to feed the rails. The lines are in a cool tube, but since I was making stuff I made a shield also. There is a stud on the firewall up a bit higher than dump height that the lines are secured with a p-clamp, and the shield is also secured to the same stud. The shield (somewhat) follows the contour of the firewall down to the floorpan and bolts to the guard that houses the filter and y splitter above. This is the shield for the surgetank. Barely enough room but it is mostly not touching the zorst. Did some more work on the plenum also as there was a few blanked off ports like the OEM PCV ports and stuff like that. And painted it once I was happy with the smoothing out.

WHO'S THEY?!?

So I made some more progress. Installed new fitting in the bulkhead for the main return line from the rail, finished mounting the new in-tank pump and connected all the lines and re-installed bulkhead to the main tank. Finalised the surge tank mounting and installed the Boom mat on it. It is a thermal and acoustic insulation, dimpled foil stuff with fibre stuff and a sticky backing. Also wrapped another section of exhaust that is closest to the tank and pump (I re-wrapped the dumps while the engine was out, and the front pipes are still wrapped). Tank is 170mm x 180mm x 100mm. I spent yesterday making a bracket to support the big ass pump. I actually made 3 brackets and modified one of them a few times, because I kept on finding better ways to do it. I am still deciding on how and where to split the 10an into 2 x 6an and spent some time yesterday trying different runs. I am leaning towards splitting it about 30cm back from the drivers dump and running the 6an lines from there in a cool tube up past the dump and direct to the back of the rails. My reasoning is I have to fit a big 10an filter in before it splits and doing this in the engine bay makes things very cluttered with the filter and the 'Y'. The filter fits on the inside of the rail and the rail is still the lowest point. I couldn't decide 100% so I put that on hold and started installing turbo/ic pipework, so I can get my loom in the right spot, so I can confirm that the braided lines to and from the rail are actually going to be in the right spot/right lengths (and not clash with wiring runs!).

In that heat, with air con on, I would say your temps are fairly normal

Cool story. Where is the sauce?

Sure you can. 22pound?

I also have had the dash out to re-install some of the air con stuff that didn't get put back in after the wiring harness install (was pressed for time with an event the following day). With the dash out, I took the time to tidy up a stack of wiring. I tried to enlist some help with the dash re-install but he wanted none of it. And that's about where I am at. Dash is back in but still need to do the pods and the trims (and seats). Engine is in but haven't finished plumbing. Need to add a new bulkhead fitting because the fancy regulator has to be on a return line direct to the main tank. System goes something like this: Walbro 460 in tank -> surge tank -> fuelab external pump -> rails -> regulator -> main tank. The surge tank overflow returns to the main tank via a cooler. Still haven't decided the final routing of the 10AN feed line and a few other engine bay routings, but it is getting there.

Have had some progress. Got new manis on and engine back in. Heaps nicer than the chinese stuff Got most of my fuel system stuff in 1 shipment Went with Fuelab 42401 pump and 52901 regulator, cheaped out on lines etc with raceworks 200 series. Injectors I started with bosch 2200cc but as pointed out by some, they aren't e85 safe. Hopefully end up with Delphi 1400cc. Had to get a new custom surge tank made to replace the custom tank I already had to fit in the limited undercar space. Thanks to Steveo's customs for that, and thanks to Al for the fitting welding and sealing work! And thanks Lisa for driving up after he forgot the filler New tank is actually larger in volume than the old one, 3L instead of 2.7 but whatever. Had to modify a few bosses etc on the plenum to allow clearance of the rails. I got a bit carried away and cut off and smoothed all the other redundant bosses. I returned to the original plenum off the car which had been polished (once upon a time) and port matched to the lower plenum (and the lower to the heads). Doing this meant I had to enlarge the throttle body openings to match the larger throttles. Seemed easier to do this than to do the upper to lower holes on the HPC coated plenum that already had larger throttle body holes (did that on my last zed, not fun). While the plenum was off I took the oppertunity to re-do the cam covers is some kind of sparkly silver. It is kinda textured but shiny and I think will contrast the black wrinkle that the plenum will be finished in. I didn't pick the color, I sent Cara out for some 'grey or silver or something' and she did pretty well. Before clear coat Done Starting to make up routes and lengths

Out of interest, the return line with the regulator on it, was it returned to the vented main tank? I ask, only because in the instructions for the regulator, it specifically says NOT to run the return to a surge tank. I have had to modify my new setup to suit. Most normal surge tank setups have the rail returned to the surge tank.

Speedflow 618 series fitting on the hardline end and a normal hose end for your teflon line.

I'm about to install a Fuelab 42401 pump and 52901 reg. Reg is pretty sweet as it talks to the pump and pulses based on fuel pressure. Walbro 460 feeding a 2.9L surge also.

So I ended up getting new MSP manifolds from the USofA. They are in customs atm. Also have some top feed rails on the way which is a stuffaround to install but will be worth it in the end along with totally new fuel supply system. The new manifolds have eaten my ECU allocation now tho, so we will see how nistune with the upgrade works out.

I only mention this because, there has been 3 snapped cams on vg engines recently, 2 of them on the same engine using the same gears. Gear was checked for balance and was out. 2nd time was on warmup driving @2500rpm

I fear we will be back here again soon unfortunately... Get your cam gear ballanced

I know someone who can help with hoists Also, how many times do I have to tell you (Cadmoon), no engine out for oil change! Engine out for many upgrades (and broken manifold)
