So how can you say you prefer one if you havent driven the other?

Maybe buy a rb20 and put a gt45 on it if your serious about it.

This is what makes it hard for me to comment, I have driven one with a big single, smaller single and a 3.2. BUT I want to drive a standard R34GTR and the next time I go to Sydney I am going to find a car yard that has one and go for a drive in it.

Don't expect a lot from a stocker Pete. You'll get out and wonder what all the fuss is about after being 'spoilt' with your own car

If I do not try, I will never know :)

About time you got out of bed :yes:

Don't do it Pete.

After my 4th or 5th variation to my fuel system I've finally come full circle back to twin in tank 044's. Its a mission to get them in there, but worth the effort.

Concealed, no mess, no fuss.

No in car fuel smell.

The only other practical option is to go with a custom under spare wheel setup with external pumps, and the standard pump as the lift/filler pump.

In boot surge tanks take up space, leak vapour, and just get in the way. Technically not legal either, as the firewall is not 100% sealed between the driver compartment and the boot like it is with the engine compartment.

Thats a worry, I thought that it is the most common setup. A continuous fuel smell would drive me nuts.

I would have thought if they are done properly there would be no fuel smell unless there was a leak of some sort :(

A few thousand dollars in Teflon lines and AN fittings with bulk heads will fix a fuel smell, but it still looks messy, and like a octopus mating with the boot of your car.

Then there is the pump noise and power consumption. So then you have to plan to add an alternator too. It never ends.

Really when you consider it, there is no good place to put a surge tank in the boot of an R34. Jack left side, attessa reservoir on the right. Under the parcel shelf is full of electronics and a battery.

044's or the smaller walbro style pumps are really the only good in tank option. You cant run the turbine pumps because they don't self prime.

The R34 has an in-tank antisurge system with a deep pickup location, and a syphon from the left side of the car that ensures the right side of the tank is always holding more fuel. It makes sense to use what is already a good design.
