So what is the deal with running fuel lines? I am ditching the whole system including tank, steel lines, and all rubber lines. Few things I need to know. 1.) Can I run rubber/braided lines inside the cabin? If so, under what circumstances? Heath mentioned something about using teflon coated to eliminate smell? 2.) Can I run the above in place of the steel lines in the same place? Maybe with a steel skid plate covering them or similar? 3.) For the breather to not leak when (lol) the car rolls, do I just swirl it over a few times and have it sitting underneath the lowest point of the fuel system? All I can find is this: 4.11 Fuel Tank and Fillers: (1) Fuel tanks, Swirl Pots, Filters, Fillers and Pumps: shall be isolated so that in the case of any leakage or spillage the fuel cannot pass into the cockpit. For vehicles fitted with fuel cells (bladder tanks) MotorSport NZ recommends that competitors inspect the bladder at least annually for chafing and deterioration. No expiry shall apply to fuel cells (bladder tanks) under this schedule. (2) Fuel Tank Vents: Vents should be designed to avoid spillage if the vehicle becomes inverted. (3) Fuel tank capacity: is limited to a maximum of 120 Litres unless the vehicle manufacturers original tank was of greater capacity. In such cases the onus rests with the competitor to provide evidence to support the fitment of a larger capacity tank. Note: Total tank capacity shall include any swirl pots, filters or any additional tanks. (4) All vehicles except Single seaters and Sports racing cars: shall have fuel tanks or approved fuel cells and fillers that comply with the following; (a) Are original equipment as fitted to the vehicle; or, ( Are to a standard specified in the vehicle class schedule, or © To a standard recognised by the FIA and/or MotorSport NZ. (5) Single seaters and Sports racing cars: shall have fuel tanks and fillers that comply with the following; (a) Are to a standard specified in the vehicle class schedule, or ( To a standard recognised by the FIA and/or MotorSport NZ. and this 5.1 Engine, transmission and ancillaries: (1) These shall be kept clean and free of significant fluid leaks, and at all times be firmly secured to the vehicle chassis on mechanically sound mountings. (2) Flexible hoses: shall be used to join components of a fluid system where movement exists between them. Hoses containing cooling water or lubricating oil must be located outside the cockpit except where the following criteria are met and when hoses are substituted from the manufacturers original specification the following minimum requirements shall apply; (a) A minimum burst pressure of 70 bar (1000psi), and ( A minimum operating temperature of 135°C (250°F), and © Have threaded connectors, and (d) Have an outer braiding resistant to abrasion and flame, and (e) Be of a type suitable for the fluid concerned, and (f) Be adequately located, and (g) Have no evidence of leakage. So does that mean I can run them in cabin if I use threaded fittings or...? Any help would be great Cheers Ashkan

Would also be interested. Will be attacking it early next year.

BAHAHAHAH

^ Would say so too. Maybe a bit of sh*t on your window when you wound it down and up?

Blowies or sandwhiches?

Sweeeet

Yeah thought I would do the same with the return line now I think about it. And yeah you are right ,the plastic one seems pretty useless. May even run a filler tube into the factory hole if I get bored. Here is also my new speedo and how i finally got my brake lights to work ala skyline brake switch

Stage 2 begins now. Have been talking to Ray re: new m20 build. Will update as I progress. For now here are some pics. Still need another pump and swirl pot. And lines. Then I will cut the spare tyre well out and fab some brackets up with straps to hold the new tank in. Should also be able to save a bit more weight with this new system. Note also the shape of the tank. There are also some baffles that I need to make/put into the tank before I do anything else. The top two will just be blocked off. mmmm AN fittings. Am also currently on the hunt for a new radiator and oil cooler.

My first was a One touch easy. Then a 3310. Now I have a 3315, have had about 5 in the last 3 years. They are awesome. Been swimming with it, and ones been run over. Would post a shitty cellphone pic but.. oh wait.

Check your dizzy cap first.

Woah. I want an E39.

IBTL You obviously don't have the money to get it towed so that is obviously out of the question. Either get someone to help you rope tow it or just drive it home through some back roads. Chances are you won't get stopped,but if you do then tough sh*t, deal with it.

I will be there.

God I hope you don't get clipped again. Looks sweet though, needs cragars.

Yeah would say you would have to be pretty onto it and have done it a few times for it to work.

Match looks good mate.

^ Lol yep, fabric samples are the worst .

Heath Awesome!

Josh- Been trying to, you obviously have a new number. Text me it, 0211272738. Dave- Exactly what I wanted to know, thanks for that. Are you able to run rubber hose instead of the factory steel hose under the car? Maybe with a skid plate or similar?

Noice

E30 260 gbox?

HB mate

Word

Yeah 0211272738

Sweet, I can respray them gaurds for you.
