Hotrodz, do you ever had any vapor locking issues during a hot restart? Say you turn the car off to get gas after a long drive and the engine is heat soaked. Does it ever take longer to start or stumble around a bit after the restart? The older 300zxtt would run the fuel pump for 30 sec or so after a shutdown to get cooler fuel in the rail. Of coarse they had return fuel systems.

I get that issue here in AL. Car likes to struggle to start back up when hot. But it starts every time

I remeber getting some of that like echoshotz has stated but it hasn't happened in a long time. I just don't drive the car much when temps are over 100*

The vented hood will no doubt help with this. I get a little bit of it now. with a pair of twins under the hood it is going to get crazy hot.

I was amazed at how much hot air pours out of the vents on my Fugi hood. You can see and feel the heat coming out of the engine bay. Gonna do some mods to my front bumper to get more air flow in as well.

Keep it on topic!


I don't want to see ANY off topic or personal attacks.

Quick update:

Jon will be sending the Vents out for fab this week, he was up in Portland for the Trans Am race, can't lie I'm kind of jealous.

Anyway it'll probably be a couple weeks before those vents are back and ready for fitting. Hopefully we'll get some pix soon. Will keep you all posted as more information becomes available.
