Hello, I'm installing ss lines on my 240z and I'm going to also get a willwood 1" master and adjustable prop valve I already have 4 piston calipers up front and rear disc as well. My question is can I put the willwood prop valve in place of the factory one(5) and since I have disc in the rear can I delete the pressure regulating valve(1) in the rear? The car is going to be used for autoX and street fun. Thank you in advance for your help

I would like to know also, pics cost. It's not on your website.

Wow that's kinda crazy! Just to think we use brake cleaner to clean parts all the time. Well I'm gonna look into renting a media blaster and give it a shot. I might give the torch a try also. Thank you for your help, I'll keep you posted!

Hmmm mustard gas sounds great, this is exactly why I posted these questions here, I'm very hopeful that the soda blasting With the 80/20 mix will do it tho I like the torch idea too. Tomorrow is Monday Itthink I'll try to call the Por15 people and see what they suggest. Please any more ideas keep them coming!

My z is an incomplete project my friend started, since the car is torn down as far as it is I'm going to go a little deeper than he did. My friend dealt with the rust on this car with a wire wheel and Por15, the entire interior floor, engine bay and front wheel wells. I want to cut out and repair a few areas of rust, stitch weld, complete the frame rails to the rear and roll cage. I'm wondering what I can do to get rid of the por15. -soda blasting - looks like eastwood has a 100# blaster, and from what I read the 80/20 mix says it will "The soda media will remove urethane, epoxies, enamels and lacquer top coats along with virtually every primer and filler for automotive and marine use" - media blast - What media is best? How can I keep from warping the metal? -Wire wheel - I don't think I can get into every nook and cranny. -Por15 remover - terrible stuff I hear, can I throw the used chemicals in the trash when I've stripped the por15? Thanks in advance for your help!

I looked at racing lab's site at the rotas, man they got some sexy wheels if yer into 15" oh well rb's look nice for the dough. Do I still need to contact Ken or just buy em straight from the site?

Haven't done an update for a long time, had a kid bought a condo got laid off for 6mo. Anyway bought a nice welder and decided to go full resto-mod I'll be buildinga rrotisserie and I'm looking into a vq35,Rb25det or ls1 we'll see. Either way I'll take a lot of pic's!

Is this group buy still open? I went through a few previousp pages and couldn't tell. I'm looking for 17x9.5 -19 all 4 gunmetal or royal black not sure if I am going 4 or 5 lug yet. Don't know if it's going to affect the price.

Dam nit what does he charge for that intake?

Well I actually decided to go to a 76 tank since I hate the idea of filling inside the car or other options. So I'm actually selling that cell as for the rest of the setup I'm running the new lines now 3/8 steel ones from summit and we'll see how that works out getting the tank cleaned and treated and whatever else comes up on the way lol.

Yeah I would like to see it. I actually decided to go with a 76 tank and add a sump, the biggest thing for me was I didn't like my options for filler location. What did you do for your filler?

One thing I love about old cars is the story's that come with them. I decided to ditch the fuel cell idea and get a 76 tank and put a sump on it, I found one on craigslist and when I went to look at it I found out that it was one out of my 76 280z that I just sold! How funny!

So I have the new 3/8" line and FPR on its way and I have been searching for answers to some of the questions I had. Sump plumbing - so obviously one goes to the pump. I wanted to know if I can use the other for the return, I searched here on hybrid and can't get the right wording or something but when I googled it I found a site for Z28 camaros and that setup was what alot of people do? I still wonder if this is good for our Z's, and the best idea. Also the car hasn't ran since the rebuild so I'm going to take things a little slower and keep the og fuel rail but since I had the aeromotive 750 pump I went ahead and got the aeromotive 13109 FPR. So I'm gonna plumb new 3/8" line to the og rail can I replace the og FPR with some hose just to get her running? Then return through the aeromotive FPR back to the sump? I need to put the fuel system to bed so I can try to crank her over, I put off buying a pallnet fuel rail for now and other things so I would be sure to have cash on hand in case other components are no good (ecu, dissy, God only knows) Please someone chime in on this setup, and if I forgot anything or with any tips thanks in advance

Wow that looks fantastic! You really did a great job! I like dark tint but in a car that red you are gonna need to see as good as you can to keep an eye out for the cops!

Progress is pretty slow at this point. All I have been able to do is clean all the engine connectors and install the L28ET harness. And clean out the small dog sized crap that was all inside the car, I'm guessing Opossum or a cat and it's most likely how the driver seat got tore up! Anyway I have some steel 3/8 fuel line in the mail and an aeromotive FPR so when that gets here I can actually do something to get it running!

I can't wait to see pics how long has it sat in the barn? edit-sorry I didn't see it was in there since 88

You don't like the rims? Gold rims on a black car is sexy!

How long has it been sitting? You sure the pump is working? And the fuel filter is good?

How funny I was going to ask what the spade was on the dizzy when I got a little further into the wiring on my L28ET swap. I was just looking through this thread for a future ms upgrade. Sounds like your making good progress keep it up!

I wanted to go with a pallnet fuel rail so I think a stock FPR is out is there any others that would be good for a dd? Maybe a "stock" one from another car that doesn't live on the rail?

So I've been doing alot of searching and reading and am now a little confused it seems people don't like the aeromotive pumps saying that they are unreliable and alot of them use walbro or bosch pumps. Please chime in with your opinion. I could sell the aeromotive and put the money to good use elsewhere. If that aeromotive pump isn't very reliable what about their bypass fuel pressure regulators? I hope someone chimes in, I'm not in a big hurry but I have a budget that will allow me to only buy once and I want to be sure that what I get will work for semi-daily driving and some track. TIA

This is what I ordered, I'll have to have just the middle of the seat recovered http://sickspeed.com/template_pics/recaro_wide.jpg

Already been to the DMV lol. He was gonna craigslist it but he knew I would finish it and he could drive it if he gave it to me hahaha. Progress is gonna be slow going for a few weeks till I make some orders and stuff starts rolling in, and I have a break from school in mid August. I'll be sure to post pics as I go.

So here's what I'm thinking about going with - Take one outlet from the fuel cell to a 100 micron aeromotive filter to the pump out of the pump to the 3/8" line to a Palnet fuel rail into the aeromotive FPR then back to the tank through another 3/8" line. Should I take the return to the top of the tank or to the 2nd fitting on the sump?

So I'm starting the 240 L28ET project and while I work on wiring I thought I would start asking about the fuel system. I got this car from a friend who never got it running yet bought some good gear to put it together. Here's a pic of all the stuff I have- So I know I need bigger fuel lines my thought was to use the 3/8" 304 stainless .28 wall that jegs carries then adapt to stainless hose at both ends. I've been researching this but I have a few questions, the tank I got with the car is a plastic fuel cell which I'm not sure I like but I'm going to use it for now then get a aluminum or steel with bladder but this plastic sumped tank has 2 fittings at the sump can I use 1 for feed and 1 for return? The pump is a aeromotive a750. I read about this fuel pump and the instructions say it needs a 100 micron filter between the tank and pump is there another filter I need? I could swear I saw something about another filter on the return on another thread but can't find it now. this is the holley 12-707 has anyone used this fuel pressure regulator? It has 2 inlets and 2 outlets and another opening on the bottom I'm guessing I will block off any unused ports. *edit-apparently this FPR is only good for 4 1/2-7 psi. So now I'm looking at a aeromotive 13109 FPR the instructions say it has 1 inlet and 1 outlet and 1 return, does that mean I have to plumb a second return? I also have a question about the vapor tank, for now I won't be hooking up the factory fuel filler because I'm not keeping this tank forever. Do I hook up one tube of the vapor tank to the fuel cell and plug the rest? I'm not going to use any smog equipment if that helps. Also if you guys have any tips for running the fuel lines I could certainly use them, the engine and tranny are in the car and I'm sure that will make it fun! I plan on using a flare tool that I have but is there a good bender you could recommend? Thanks in advance for your help I have alot of work to do before I can even try to crank this Z over and I need to knock out some of the big stuff cuz I'm getting itchy to drive it!
