Default Put me down for one

I have a 2011 Nismo that I track regularly at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. The car is stock except for cold air intake, oil cooler, and adjustable camber in front and I usually run R compound tires.

If I don't top off between each 20-30 minute session, I will experience fuel starvation by the end of the second session. It only cuts out on one right hand turn and only for a couple of seconds, but that is a handicap I don't need. I don't even go to the track if they are running CW because I can't even make it through the first session!

Please put my name on the list. My preference would be the stand alone system if it will be ready soon and not significantly more expensive.

I suppose what I need to know is the price for both setups and timing of availability of each in order to make a decision.

Thumbs up

The more time they take, the more kinks are worked out. It's going to be worth the wait, there are dozens of threads here bashing good suppliers that just didn't take their time with r&d and fitment on small stuff, and this is huge stuff.

They were post to have been wrapped up this week from my understanding. I called several times and sent some texts but no luck. I'm on the first list myself.

they went back to our fabricator to make changes to the level sensor mount. the stock level sensor on the drivers side hangs more towards the center of the opening. with the canister, it has to be offset to the very outside edge. its tricky to get the location and angle just right so that it doesnt interfere with the walls of the tank or the couple little baffles in there. pictures will show what i mean... we have a gas tank cut open here so we can see inside and check fitment stuff like that. we had to make the change. our location on our original prototype wasnt quite working due to the larger diameter of the production part.

i have also been working on the installation procedure... its a little more of a hassle than i had hoped. its still on the DIY level... nothing "hard", just a frustrating thing... fitting so much into such a small opening... requires some assembly inside the tank.

All i can do is apologize about the time frame of this project. It has been a consistent problem around here for a very long time now and I am currently making arrangements to get myself in a position where I do not have to depend on other people as much so that my priorities can come first. Changes are being made and I will disclose more information on that when the time is right... this will be the last project developed under these circumstances.

Deja vous. That's fine if you want to convert to a return type system.
