Yesterday, we just got done mounting and installing my fuel cell into my 260. Pour 4 gallon of 91 fuel into the tank, then try attempting to start the car, and it won't start. :/ Setup 16 gallon rci sump fuel tank I install a braided line from the stump to a external Walbro fuel pump, then that line out to the engine bay. One return line from the engine bay back into the other sump port. Am I missing something?

No links, I have my next door neighbor to do my body work and paint job.

11/09/2012 -The tapping noise, I found out was that I didn't bleed the lifters when I reinstall the head back on. -At the mean time I already taken my original 260 fuel tank, and surge tank out from the car, because I score a rci 15 gallon fuel cell with sump from eBay. -While the fuel tank was out I notice that my brace for my r200 was broken. I have contact the person that I bought it from and he will exchanged it for a new one. -Now to cut out the spare tire location and install brackets for the fuel cell.

Couple shot of mine. 74 260z

Thanks, dislexicdime Yeah, it sucks that now in days it's impossible to find 245/45 16 on any tire brand. Thanks, Nelsonian

Mine, Rb25 with rb26 twin turbo. Enjoy

Yokohama 245/45/16 16x9.5 all around

10-25 First attempt to start the car, and it started with no problem. No exhaust leak, no oil leak, no water leak, but rattling noise on the head, wtf!! Now let the car idle to full temperature , and start the bleeding on the coolant. The noisy tapping noise from the head isn't going away. It just getting worst. Below is a short video of that tapping noise. http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o692/Red260rbz/232735C5-FBB3-435E-A615-C77677F31E31-6229-000004B994A78363_zpsbbe60e6f.mp4

Update With my currently fuel set up before, I wasn't really satisfy with it, because it is giving me fuel cut when my fuel level gauge reach 1/2. It will give me a hard time in starting the car up, unless I put more gas into her. So with that problem, I had made up my mind, and decide to pull out the surge tank and go with a fuel cell with sump, to solve this fuel cut, starvation problems that I am having. So at the mean time, I got my eyes on a 15 gallon on eBay. Hopefully I score that one, by this weekend, so wish me luck. On the other hand, when I find myself a free weekend, the rb25 head will be coming off, because I am having a huge leak on the 1 of the twin turbo exhaust manifold. 2 stud from the manifold wont tight, after I keep on turning it. It just go, tight, tight, loose, and it will just repeat itself. In my mind probably the threads on the head are strip, and that's what its causing. I just hate it, how it's so annoying and distributing when driving the car around town with that plug, plug whatever that sound is, it's just straight up annoying. 10-24, 2012 I received my arp head stud kit just yesterday, and decide to work on the head. Head is off, now transfer the manifold to the new head. The block and piston will need to be clean, then will install the arp head stud, and then put the metal head gasket from previously on. It's a cosmetic metal head gasket that never seen 1 mile. Head stud on, metal head gasket on, and copper spray can on, ready to mount the new head. Head on, now to torque and tight the head and reconnect everything back on.

10/05/2012 It's been awhile since I check up on my build thread. Was quite busy with car event, school and family stuff. Will enough bout that, I did managed to get the car painted and enter few car show like jccs in soCal, and hellaflush in norCal. Was painted 8/18/2012, enjoy Z getting her last touch before entering the paint booth Arrive at paint shop, getting mask up and tape Entering the booth Painted while in booth Outside getting her fresh air That's it for now, will update more with jccs and hellaflush photo.

anyone, I will be very much appreciate? So should I run 2 fuel pump or just 1? Need to know, so I can order my braided line and fittings.

I thought about it, and decide to ditch the buddy fuel cell. I am now leaning towards the jegs pro street fuel cell sump, the 16 gallon one non foam. I am carious what's the different between foam and non foam? If I decide to purchase the jegs fuel cell, will my currently fuel delivery system, work with the cell? I have Walbro fuel pump and a carter electrical fuel pump that is currently pushing fuel through my surge tank.

He wants 400 for this setup!

This is what the freind say. "27" long 19 3/4" wide and 9 3/4" deep it has the factory gm ford sending unit so you can get a gas gauge reading, By the way, he had this fuel cell set up for a carburetor vehicle, and only have 1 fuel line out, and no return port on the fuel cell. Will this even work with my EFI setup?

I have a local freind that is selling his fuel cell from his 1985 mustang, and I was just wondering if it will fit my 260z. I try to search around for the length, width, and height of the stock 260z fuel tank, but didnt get any luck on spec. Anyone? Length:27 Width-19 3/4 Height-9 3/4

Mine was damaged the other day, so I want to buy one to replace. Anyone that has one, please pm thanks.

Rewiring the lady and hopefully get her started today.

I really need a 240z-280z trunk (hatch) lock with keys. The door and ignition, I already have but they are all mismatch. I would want to buy the complete locks as describe if anyone have them laying around. Pm or leave comment, thanks

08/09/2012 It's been awhile since I last updated this build thread, because of my busy schedule. As for as my z goes, After the car show I decide to redo my z, because there was some minor error of dents here and there and too many orange peel, due of the fact that it was painted inside of my garage. So with my busy schedule I hardly touch the z, just here and there when I have the free time.  I had decide to do a full wire tuck on the chassis harness, and I know the engine bay looks like crap now, lol. But, I'm just waiting on the car to get repainted then I'll start detail the engine bay again. The car is already done and ready to get it painted again. This time no garage painting, and it's going to get painted the right way, in the paint booth. We are thinking about getting the car painted this Saturday so hopefully everything goes as plan.Â

Thanks RB26powered74zcar, your car is gorgeous itself.   Its a 3m brand paint, but don't no the code for it, ill ask my painter when I see him this weekend. But by the way, I was going after the oe color red 240z.Â

I have one, pm me

I have one, I just email you.

My friend sold his complete L28et longblock to one of the member here. He is going to send the head and manifold stuff on a plastic big container through FedEx. He is left with the complete short block, and want to know how much it weights, and which fright company would be the best to go with. I honestly don't know, and never attempt of shipping a short block before, so that's why I'll like to ask and help him out. Thanks

I have a spear one from a rb25, if it's fits your 20. Pm me if your interested!
