Cheers for the comments guys! Seeing her out in the light has got the bug going again, just seem to be working too much to get stuck in!! Should get some time off soon i hope.
Waiting on a price for the rear springs, for the lb rating i want they are 'custom' or 'expensive'...
Any ideas of a fuel system set-up? i was thinking of using the old line for the return and running a new larger feed. Does this have to be solid pipe for engineering (SA)?

id try use an intank pump, much neater and quiter also works out much cheaper as you only need the 1 pump heres a diy http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7070 as for the pipe its upto the engineer but id use solid bundy line if i was you looks much neater and is a bit more protected, yes you can use the original feed as the return and then fit a new 3/8 line for the feed, thats how i did mine. did you try industrial springs? what rate are you after? and whos engineering ur car?

loving the build up mate, giving me inspiration to work on my missus' sunny :)

why don't you use a surge tank system so that you will have a continoues fuel feed. best fuel pump is the walbro 250 but for a standard sr20det a bosch pump will work fine.

the following is an example


the basics of the system is to have two pump. a flow pump that keeps the surge tank filled all the time and a pressure pump that feeds from the surge tank to keep the fuel rail with pressurized fuel

or you could use a 500hp walbro intank pump with an r31 cradle you will get away with it for about $180, and it wont look like a dogs breakfast like the above pic plus it will be quit. i run the 500hp walbro in my xr6 it makes 317rwkw with a but load of torque never had an issue. plus(dont qoute me on this) if your car doesnt have a factory fitted fuel tank in the boot it is very dificult to get it legal with a surge and pumps in your boot, they need to be in some kind of sealed inclosure thats what the regency bloke told me. but honestly i think your mad running all that gear when you can do it ALOT neater,quiter,cheaper and get the same results, my mate has done a few track days in his 300+ kw xr6 with no surgeing issues, aslong as you fit some type of swirl pot in the tank you cant go wrong, have a suss of the link i posted, heaps of ppl are going away from the surge tank/2 pumps and doing it intank. my mate uses the s13 pump and cradle in his sr20/bluebird works fine too

All that braided line is making me jealous

I had a look at the way the chap on ozdat did his. Not bad, i was looking at an in tank set up basically for neatness and i want to keep the boot empty of any non-standard items. External tank as a last resort at this stage. Will definitely have a better look at the link. Know any people that will weld a tank in adelaide?
I'm trying to match all parts, Kings will do me rears for about $280 so not as bad as I thought.. Rory Thompson is doing the engineering, tried some other prick but 3 months & no call I kinda got the idea he wasn't interested in the ridiculous amount of money for his work.....
@ sharpey- good to hear, the ol' sunny gets neglected all too often!

that is sorta an issue not many ppl are keen to do it the best bet is a mate, my mate did his but instead of cutting that bit out of the donor tank he had a 5mm steel cut into the correct size ring and tapped holes in that for extra meat, ive seen ppl just tap into the tank if the tanks thick anough it will work and theres no welding- this guy did it like that- http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=15284&start=15 who was the other engineer? i spoke to doug potts and he seamed ok, rory wouldnt tell me anything unless i payed $300

also did you try scott @ maddat for the rear springs?

Yeah, maddat is who i've got chasing the springs up. He's helped me out a bit so far.
So if you don't weld, i assume u just seal it up with goo.. will have a look through that link too, cheers.
Ahh, dougie potts,,, that's the one. Chased him up for months with one phone call from his secretary to say he'd call back....... still waiting dougie..
So far (with rory) been charged about $80 for writing up the report for RTA, ($100 email, but i'll contest that #OOPS#). Apart from that he has looked over the car and given the all clear, gave all costs over the phone. But will give my verdict when car is registered!
