5thgenluder Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Agarc315. Thanks for the kind words. I don’t think I have the answers to your issues. Perhaps your tank has some baffles preventing fuel from getting to the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 It’s been a long time since I updated this thread. You all deserve better. I didn’t get much done on it last year. I purchased a house and have been remodeling that for the last 2 years. So unfortunately the z went on the back burner. Here’s what went wrong. The headlights stopped working. Turns out that the high beam lever on the stalk broke apart on the inside. It looks like it had a spring in it that moved a contact point. Have yet to find a replacement. Wired it out for now and put my high beams on a switch. Radiator leaked. I need to find some better fitting radiator hoses. I found what I could at autozone when I did the engine swap but they aren’t perfect. I spent a good good couple days rewiring my dash. It was a rats nest and was completely unserviceable. Added some molex plugs so that thing like gauges and the dash itself can be removed. This spring I plan to make it more of a priority and get some more done on it. Funny story. I really thought I had a rare car until I show up at a small car meet 20 miles from my car and another rb z pulls up and parks next to me.

RomanNoodles11 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I literally made an account just so I could thank you for this thread. Just finished reading through the last page and it's currently almost 2AM I have been considering buying a pos S30 as my first car and doing an RB swap on it, and this thread has certainly motivated me. If I do end up pulling the trigger I will be referring back to this thread on a daily basis. Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethoncho Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 This is a great build thread with loads of good info. Great looking Z! It’s an inspiration as i’m Just starting a build myself. My is a 280 that i’m fitting a RB25 in and modifying to look like a 240 on the exterior. I’m starting with an ugly duckling so loads of repairs before I can even get to the fun stuff...but hey its all fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jboogsthethug Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hey @5thgenluder, I can’t find details on this in the thread: how did you block off the evap tank? Did you just connect the lines to each other? And what did you do with the filler neck hole? Any problems with fuel overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that went to the engine I instead connected to a fuel tank check valve. It’s like a valve that lets air in when fuel contracting but also seals below like 1-2psi to keep vapours from leaking out. I grabbed it from a civic or something.

So I am trying to figure this out, the line that comes from the top of the surge tank (Top left from your pics) and goes to the inlet on the main tank, what inlet are you referring to? Is it this one I've circled? If so, did you buy an adapter to make the hose fit? I'm doing pretty much the exact same thing as you and I'm stuck on this piece ha.

Jboogsthethug Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Does anyone else have any insight? I'm not sure if 5thgen is active on the forums anymore. My thought would be to use an adapter (Like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-16892?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjw8NfrBRA7EiwAfiVJpWgvs863kF2WgH_YOME5HUUOxOF0s8TI0HXcfFaaPvXiXeFHR-YUQhoCmJcQAvD_BwE), but I feel like with how thorough 5thgen is he would've mentioned that. Leads me to believe he easily hooked it up without needing adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbonk Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I am not sure how 5thgen hooked into the stock tank. I will let you know what I did and it has been working well for several years. The line on top of the tank (3/8ths) is a vent line that goes to the canister. I disconnected that vent line from the canister and used it as the return inlet for my fuel delivery system. I did that because the factory return inlet on the tank is only 1/4 inch, if that. An important note, if you use that 3/8th vent as a fuel return you must make sure the other larger vent line on the other side of the top of the tank is venting properly and that the hose is not crimped. I used the stock outlet (on the tank - 5/16ths) to supply my clicker pump that supplies my surge tank. If you need photos let me know.

Did you just block off the 1/4 original return line? As far as the Vent line you left behind, did you just run a line out the top and underneath to the back of the car so you don't get fumed out? I plan on also using the stock outlet to supply my ST. I believe I can visualize what you're talking about without photos, thank you so much!

wrcbonk Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Yes, I plumbed the stock fuel return boss from the tank back to the canister using a inline hose adapter from Autozone. Its a pretty even swap as long as the big vent line on the back side of the tank is functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna update the intake manifold how to, finish the fuel system, updated wiring schematic, safc install, few other miscelaneous things. I want to finish this how to. I really appreciate everyone giving me the help over the last few weeks. I almost feel like after I finish this part of the project I should just make a how-to write up and clean this whole thread up. First Thank you so much for documenting your rebuild! Did you ever write up a final wiring schematic with the EZ wiring harness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Did some updates this spring. I added the silver mine electric power steering kit. What a difference it makes parking, or pulling into my garage space. I replaced my thermostat controller for my fan with the painless one and it’s great. I am still having issues with the brakes. I had decent pedal feel then it suddenly went away. I checked the reaction disc and it is in place but I suspect the brake booster. If I pump the pedal and hold it then start the car the pedal does not sink when I start it. I also get a hiss from the booster when holding the brake pedal down. Everything I read says a bad booster would mean I have a firm pedal but I have a very soft pedal that has no pressure for about 90% of the throw. Then once it’s basically on the floor the brakes start to grab. Any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted300 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Unfortunately I don't have any insight for you...but I wanted to say welcome back, it's great to hear from you... If I had a wish, it would be for these forums to be as active as they used to be...so much incredible info here...but FB/IG seemingly have killed its utility.
