when your fuel pump dies while you're at the intersection

if you get one of those ebay tow hooks...use it mostly for show

so thinking the fuel pump went out i ordered a new walbro on amazon.. came in and went into installing it

ran into some issues.. the oem fuel filter/strainer was coming apart, the return line was also disintegrating (leaving debris in the housing) , while trying to get the old pump out one of the housing hat rods broke off

I remember seeing you there. The wife said wtf with the graphics. LOL

I seen this car in the exhaust video going up a small hill and people listening to various exhausts. Not hard to tell this was the car :D Sounded amazing btw

may have found my high speed vibration.. my axle nuts were hand loose.. ordered nissan castle nut caps and new axle cotter pins

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...psiyaghn3x.jpg

Glad to see you got it sorted, but those adjusting caps are pretty weak and known to come loose. Kawasaki has a beefy castle nut a number of people have used after having problems with the Nissan adjusting cap, just FYI. This thread has pretty much all the info you need: http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...unk-noise.html

Ello gov'na .. got some work done .. finally put the rear apr studs in.. you have to take the axles out to get good access to the hub bolts.. you dont have to take the e-brake apart. Also flushed the brake fluid, and had the spal fans installed to a custom fan shroud

This is also the same reason why using the grommet where all the wires enter the cabin as a way to hook up gauges are a bad idea. The grommet will be worthless and leak water into the cabin unless it is sealed off again with some sort of sealant.

:iagree: I lost an ECU from water coming down through a cut I made to the grommet after a nitrous kit install on my previous HR . I should have applied some rubber sealant

Saw the car. Phenomenal work all around :tiphat:

Sad that I didn't get to say hi.

What transmission did you use?

Hey - amazing project - Congrats!

I looked through the thread but couldn't find what transmission you used.

Was it a 6L80 automatic?

Hey thanks.. used a 6l80. I wanted it bc it was one of the newer and I wanted paddle shifting. With more research I could have gone with an upgraded 4l80.

That looked like a nightmare before.

Yes it did ! But motivation with the vision and taking things one step at a time , got things done ✅

Im debating between a SC build or a 4.8 vortec swap. Reading this thread made that decision so much harder
