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.......
