my mate has used skyline plastic tank, but that was in
the back of a 1200 ute, (underneath),
i was thinking of taking the spare tire
well out and using a 180sx tank underneath, or just making brackets to fit
it in place of original
i used my original tank, but welded in another
breather which became my fuel outlet, i'm running a low pressure, hi volume
volvo pre pump, which sits on the bottom of the tank. with an external VL
turbo.
the only problem with 1 pump internal is that they get
very $$$ once
u need to upgrade. ie more fuel or pressure. Petrojet
recommend that i won't need a surge, as the volvo pre will easily keep the
fuel up. but as the old tanks don't baffles. i will have to find
out?
yeah, i was looking at
using a 300zx twin turbo pump, they bolt into 180sx tanks, or maybe a r33
gtr pump. they should flow enough hopefully. have to do more research
on flow rates. my main aim is to not have external pumps, it's neater,
and something i would like to do, even if it's a lot of hassle.
i think retrofitting a
tank will be easier than welding in extra baffles and a fuel well and making
provisions for a bolt in, in-tank pump.

Subject: Fuel tanks
I'm looking at retro
fitting a fuel tank to a 1600
I was thinking a late
model fuel tank (with baffles and in tank fuel pump) out of anything,
nissan, otherwise, probably nissan, due to familiarity with performance
pumps etc. Anyone know some wreckers of otherwise with 200sx, or
180sx, or any 1990->on cars that they can measure up external
dimensions and mounting points of their respective fuel
tanks?
I am considering
cutting out the spare tire well if necessary to fit (e.g.) a 180sx
fuel tank which sits under the boot and moving the spare inside the boot
behind the seat.
I'm not sure how much
of an effect it would have on weight distribution moving the tank further
back, any comments?
This removes the need
for a surge tank and external fuel pumps in my opinion.
help? anyone? get out
your measuring tapes.......
