Aside from the obvious fabrication on the gas tank (which would probably exceed the difficulty rating of installing our v1 RRP), there are some things it does not address for the 370z specifically.

Really the only place to put this in the 370z tank that makes sense is in place of the stock fuel pump module. I could possibly even machine an adapter plate for it if what they have here fits through the opening. But we would still be missing the fuel level float, and attaching it to foam would probably be flimsy... so we would have to see if we could somehow attach the level sensor to one of the crappy baffles in the tank... which I think is possible. Still left to resolve is the in-tank siphon issue.. but I know how to solve this on the EASY.

If we can get a solid confirmation that this product would in-fact tackle the starvation issue to the satisfaction of you guys (the drivers who want it fixed), AND if this would fit through the fuel tank opening of the 370z (just over 4.25"), I would be happy to provide it and an installation kit for it.

But if it doesnt fit through the opening, I would have to just wish good luck, as I cannot sell it with fabrication required. Very few of you guys would be willing to remove the gas tank from the car (most dont realize that removing the entire rear suspension member is required for this), much less chop it up in an irreversible manor.

I want to know if this system is just fuel starvation "resistant", or truly defeats it. Based on customer reports, our V1 RRP defeated it entirely. So I have a pretty high standard to meet in how I continue to address it.
Phunk,

Thank you for your time.

The hole that is drilled into the tank is 3 1/4" to get this piece to fit.


Here are the install instructions:

EDIT: Here is an overview of how it works. Not too detailed though.

Here is a video of the system working.
