Holy fuck that looks unbelievable. Basically how I want mine 

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Dunno why,but I’m not a fan.

The engine isn’t loaded up like it would in 1:1.

Torque effects HP vice versa so it may be slightly out.

You can see mine. That’s when polish was flawless. But it doesn’t take much to scratch it sadly.

If i remember correctly Gator Inductions was making the fittings cava is talking about, it was about the same price to buy them or buy the weld on -6 fittings and then get them Tig welded on i dont think aeroflow had the complete holden v8 fuel rail kits out when i done mine. i like how mine came up but the only issue i have is every other hose and fitting on the car is black, and the rails are the only thing that is polished

Gator. That’s them.

If polish isn’t your thing you can get the rails anodised pretty cheap.

Where do you get these from?

i can’t remember 100%. I just remember seeing them going damn I that’s cool.

Prob aeroflow

Don’t think so. He got shafted on his motor.

Craig FLI355 is his cousin. Ask him

I was considering those Aeroflow billet fuel rails. There does seem to be plenty of meat in the rails, just depends on the size of the fittings going into it I guess (that’s why I was asking what most folks are using?). It would seem (looking at those billet rails) that you would also need to modify the fuel lines/FPR to suit?

When I looked into rails it wasn’t worth the piss farting around to do the reg. i went stock rails with welded Bungs (before all this slip in stuff), I used stock reg so it mounted easily, then got Blake from SC to polish them. He actually did a write up for them in the mag haha

Any fittings will need to be welded on as there’s not enough material in the fuel rail to tap. By the time you’ve bought the fittings and had the rails modified, it’d be cheaper to use something like this: http://tinyurl.com/glgvwwv $160 – cheap and cheerful but quality unknown.. or http://tinyurl.com/j7k4sv6 $180 – Chinese made but better quality and used by lots of guys.

You can tap the rails. Mate of mine used to do it. Pretty sure he could do up to -10

T400 will be the best thing you do to the car.

What clutches are your putting in it? Mates use a twin plate Mantic in his 560rwkw ride. It’s been perfect.

That the liner. Such a PITA

its one out of 3 states is Victoria ?? sound like dont need an dust seal to pass for engineers .. haven’t find an engineers for myself.. yea Im still looking for good brakes not like VT twin brake..

Was actually an engineer in NSW that said they needed to have the dust seals. You can get Wilwoods with dust seals though. My front and rears both have dust seals. Rears also have a built in handbrake into the caliper. Engineered 35 spline full floaters and Wilwoods with a handbrake FTW.

 

you make me sick hahaha

TUF GMH, I used the VT-VZ canister as well, due to it being a nicer shape to mount. I was thinking to putting it under the car, or under one of the guards. But the engineer wanted it as high was it could be. so I ended up mounting it in the boot. pretty much straight above the filter. Still not quite through engineering yet, but the car is out of action for a while. Having a few cooling issues with the PWR radiator, I have sent it back and am awaiting an answer in regards to warranty. hopefully wont take to long. I miss driving it already

Cheers. Are you using one of the usual engineers like Ray Spence or John Wilson? Mine fits neatly on the drivers side in front of the diff, no leaks or heavy smells so far fingers crossed. The fuel tank isn’t the usual setup either. A mate who built the car went with a shortened VU SS setup in a long range tank.

Very different pump setup indeed. Only issue I see is complete tank removal to get to pump, but it’s prob something u only do once if that

ive got to run a purge tank also  I’m think of putting it behind drivers side rear wheel well up with the filler tube etc

I think black will look a lot better IMO.

If you get some from a 6.0ltr they are stronger then the earlier ones.

I snapped and twisted my VZ 5.7 ones.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I meant in general lol. They look great in black. There was A sedan on SC forum back in the day. Was black also. Looked sinister.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

6766 on the rb30 and she will be on song.

 

Nice pickup. Not many around in black.

Put them under your wiper cowl.

MLS, Cometic. Both should be more then up to the task.

Its all in the tune, however. The best gasket won’t survive a medeaoker tune.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Looking great.

 

Whay I meant was, I need someone to paint my bay lol
