Malonesx5 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I wasn't sure where to post this. But since I am going with an RB25 I decided to post it here. I bought a 1971 sock 240z shell and a 1971 that used to be a race car. Then I swapped the coil overs and the AP racing disc brakes into the stock car. I have sold the race car and have started doing the roll cage. I should also have the fuel cell in soon. I am really excited about the RB25. I am constantly watching videos and reading about it. The car will be street legal but defiantly be able to handle some track days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zdan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 nice project. what type of "fuel cell" are you putting in the car, and will it fill from the factory location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malonesx5 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 It wont fit in the factory location. The spare tire well is going to be removed. Then a new thick piece of sheet metal welded in. Then it will be cut for a 16 gallon cell. It will look like this. I may not plumb it to the side fill location like the orange car in the picture. I am not sure if that is legal in all racing and autocross organizations. Some of them require the fuel cell to be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malonesx5 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Getting the brake calipers ready to ship. I am going to send them to get rebuilt. I am hoping they can clean up the outside also. The AP brakes are aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zdan Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Is there any paticular reason you want the fuel cell? I originally installed a RCI "fuel cell" into my car, only to remove it and put the stock tank back in along with a surge tank and two pumps. You could easil fit a surge tank in the spare tire location and cover it with a piece of aluminum. This way you dont have to hack up your floor and you will have a fuel system that will work under extreme Gs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malonesx5 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 The car is going to used on the track. It will be street legal but not for daily driving. Their are some organizations that only allow a fuel cell for their track events. Also I don't have an original gas tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malonesx5 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) We have been busy doing body work and getting ready for paint. Shot the primer last week. Then painted under the hood and inside the car. Went with voodoo blue. Edited February 16, 2017 by Malonesx5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malonesx5 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Paint is finished and started to put car back together. This is my last post in the RB forum. I bought a different motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
