Hey Nik, Happy New Years! Good to hear you are progressing with yours. I'm ready for a run when you are I still havent driven the car to be honest, it's too hot at the moment and now I'm rocking 300KW in the RS I'm having some fun with that |

Hi All, Driven the car a bit now. Fuel pump is working a treat. Another surprise benefit I didn't give much thought to, no more fuel smell. It's 100% gone. Weather is supposed to be a little cooler next week so looking forward to putting some k's on the car! Regards, Trent |

Fuel smell is probably the main reason I want to do mine. Have you seen this? Just popped up on my feed the other day... Holley have followed on from the fuel mat and now offer a full universal drop-in pump for conversions... http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ ... dules.aspx |

Hey Anth, Looks like a great bit of kit, take a look at it for sure. It might be a little pricey in the end though. Let us know how you progress though. Cheers, Trent |

...This conversion completely sucked and was quite difficult....
Any reason why it was difficult Trent?Does the fuel level sender work? Definitely keen on going for a run soon. It's been too long. |

Hey Nik, I made a crude swirlpot and welded it in, i couldnt get my welder to agree on a setting that didnt blow holes in it. To be honest probably the biggest issue was trying to do it in 30deg weather other than that it was pretty straight forward. I used the new fuel sensor however it would be very easy to get the factory one to work. Lets go! I have today off |

Hi All, Another great track day in the Datsun yesterday @ Sandown. Was quite warm so didnt get my best times. Having said that car performed beautifully with the new in-tank fuel pump setup. I took the RS and the Datsun. I did one session in the RS, it just doesnt handle as well as the Datsun. It's a different class. Unfortunately I dont have any video this time round. Will definitely have some on the next track day. |

Hi All, Report back on the in-tank pump. 100% the best thing I did. The old pumps are gone, less weight , Less noise, no fuel temp issues! Even on a high 30's day! I have kept it pretty full so im not 100% sure if my gauge is working yet Will have to run it down... More mods happening this weekend. Ticket off some of the big annoyances I have had over the year, this one isnt complicated just a pain to do. Cheers, Trent |
