Hi,

Just recently I installed a fuel setup consisting of a surge tank and I needed to make up and enclosure to cover it so I got to work on my project. I ended up making a enclosure for it out of sheetmetal which has a detachable front panel so you can view or if need work on the fuel system or you can remove the whole enclosure with a few screws. The panels have stiffners on them as to help keep it rigid and overall it is very solid.

If people are interested or might want a custom sheetmetal enclosure made up for a fuel system or whatever it may be I wouldn't mind fabricating something for you. Below are the pics of fuel system , the enclosure without the lid and the full finished product.

Looks like it will do the job.

Personally I would of made it with a back plate rather than using the tyre well and a fixed bottom plate so it was a complete boxed unit.

What were the prefab panels you used?

It was just scrap hot water system case that i cut up and took what i need. Yeah i didnt want a full box since it doesnt have to be fully sealed to pass scruiteneering and its easier to take apart.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
