I am currentley looking at replacing the solid fuel lines in my car, one bigger lines, more fuel, the obvious. But also as everything else will be braided lines and screw on fittings it would be kinda nice to be able to screw these lines into the solid ones instead of using homo little adapters and clamps and stuff.

Now I suppose my actual questions, how much power will the standard lines flow as opposed to say a -6 or -8 line? and how the hell do you get the lines in and out, is there a way to do it without dropping the entire rear cradle out?

yeah, just cut them.

Do you have a fuel problem atm? if not, then why bother changing?

then how do you get the new ones in.......

At present yes, with bigger pump/injectors maybe not, but as I said I wanna know how much power the stock lines flow.

i can tell you for certain if you are using 700cc injectors then the standard solid lines will not be posing a restriction for you.

awesome >_<

hmmm still kinda gay having to use those little adapter thinggys, ah well dunno if I can warrant the expense to get the lines redone just to get around it.....

I hear alot of discussion about using the hicas lines if its disabled. Weather this is feasible i do not know.

that trick only works for r32's that have the hydraulic hicas.

i ripped my stockers out on the weekend, looking at them, they are only 8mm each! :) replacing them with 2x -6 feed and 1x -8 return. just use a pipe bender to bend the tube into shape, shouldnt be all that hard :)

also if u wanna get rid of the stock rubber gear in the engine bay and kepe the stock tube lines under the car, u can use speedflow fittings from the tubing to braide, piece of piss really >_<

yeah making the lines is no problem it's just getting them in and out :)

yar those little fitting jigger things, just a shame to have all screw on fittings then use rubber pipes and clamps to join to the lines under the car....

The stock gear i believe leewah used for 600rwkw.

It'll be decent enough for you :laugh:

That makes me happier about using the stock ones, as I said before though still a shame to have to use those little jigger fittings.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
