CJM Fuel Starvation Control Product, Round 2

What are some of the automotive projects you have tackled yourself? Knowing this would help us determine if you should be able to handle this one trouble free

I regret to have to make an unfortunate announcement about the RRP.

We have discovered the hard way, that the RRP will NOT currently fit in the G37 fuel tank. The G37 fuel tank is about 1.5" inches shallower, at least, the specific G37 we discovered on. If I am made aware before hand, modification CAN be made before shipping if a G37 owner wishes to have the RRP. However, I would have to ask that the customer take about 30 minutes of their time to confirm a tank depth on their exact car for me. The G cars come in a few variations, and without having one of each here, I cannot confirm tank depths myself. It is also REQUIRED that the G car is using the 370z style fuel sending unit (even though its a slightly shorter variant), and NOT the 350z style sending unit. The 350z fuel sending unit has internal plumbing that cannot be intercepted for use with the RRP.

Are the measurements something that could be accomplished during a normal fuel pump install? I'm assisting on a G37 turbo install and if all you need are a few measurements I can't imagine it being an issue to get them.

phunk · 03-08-2014, 06:09 PM

Yup, with the fuel pump out to be upgraded for the kit install, the dimension could be taken. However, I think that I am going to ask all G37 customers to get me this dimension for their car if they want the RRP, unless I can find reference to all the G37 fuel tanks being the same. But I do not believe that to be the case. It shouldnt be much trouble because the dimension can easily be measured by lifting just the level sensor out on the driver side. I suspect about a 15 minute job really. Plus, I am not sure if there will even be another G37 to desire it.

Chuck33079 · 03-08-2014, 06:11 PM

Ok. If you want me to check for you it's no problem. It'll be a month or so. Just let me know exactly what to measure if you want me to check while I'm in there.

Thanks

It might be interesting to look through Infiniti's parts catalogs for various options/years. Won't give you the depth, but might tell you there are N types of tanks and which options/years have matching tanks.

That's a damn good idea. At least you'll know how many variations are out there.

good god, i wish this was cheaper. probably lost 5-10 seconds hitting fuel starve 2-3x per lap at buttonwillow today.

martin82 · 03-08-2014, 11:48 PM

It's a must in SoCal since we pretty much run cw everywhere!! If you don't have the rrp fix then u must fill up after each session. I can't wait to test this out

FL 4Motion · 04-06-2014, 06:45 PM

Picking the car up tomorrow from our mech.

had to update my sig...

Daytona at the end of the week will first test, can't wait for wife's positive feedback.

phunk · 04-06-2014, 07:01 PM

I think that makes 2 installs this weekend! I saw on RAD's facebook that they were installing one Friday I think.

2011 Nismo#91 · 04-07-2014, 12:01 PM

Had mine installed Saturday at RAD. Drove it till 1 dot with no issue. Took a full day to install but definitely worth it.
