CJM Fuel Starvation Control Product, Round 2

2011 Nismo#91 · 04-24-2015, 03:19 PM

This thing has been amazing, my 4th track day with it. Got my fuel tank to go from 5 dots to 2 in a long right hand turn. I am not worried at all about fuel starve on or off the track any more. It did give me a little of a scare a few days ago when I heard a whine come from the fuel tank area but it was gone the next day and has not come back.

Other than the install itself (difficulty wise) I haven't heard of anyone having issues with it after the install. True?

Hey punk I put a deposit down on preproduction about a year ago then sort of fell off on my mods. Any chance I can put that toward this run?

Oh for sure.

We can put you on the list but we have to see how many finished pieces we end up with now. There are 12 in production, 1 is going to get modified for a sponsored 350z race car. If no parts get screwed up, there should still be 1 available.

Great! Let me know.

I've fuel starved at about half tank at least a dozen times now (turn 3 High Plains raceway lol)

Topping off is getting old!

Punk, I ran mine at Sebring this weekend and did 3 sessions with it on one tank of gas, and it never missed a beat. When I started the cool down lap I looked down at the gauges and it was flashing 20 miles until empty, and as you know on a boosted car thats saying you are out of gas. I limped it back and had to borrow a gallon of gas just to go to the gas station. The last time I was there I was getting fuel starvation before I got to 3/4 tank left, thanks again for creating this great product!

Excellent! I appreciate the feedback very much.

Hello from motorsports ranch in Texas. Quick thanks. Did you know GTRs suffer from fuel starvation? They are envious of my road race pump! Back to the One Lap now...

Just wanted to throw in an update. I know I have been silent but the parts are coming along!

Actually, we are getting pretty close now. There are 2 just components left to machine and then we can do the light fabrication and anodizing.

Attached is a photo of the new top hat... I made some cosmetic enhancements just for fun.

^^Thanks for the update Charles!

I posted a month back that I definitely wanted one as soon as a new batch came out and also talked to you on the phone a few times just to make sure. I didn't make it in the list? Haven't been following this thread like I should have I'll admit so thats my fault. Any way I can get on there?

cossie1600 · 05-08-2015, 05:26 AM

I believe Rusty might have put together some pics on how to install it? Do you mind sharing it again? I bought the last one from the last batch, it is still sitting in the box! I need to get my act together and install it.

When this batch is finished, perhaps I should start a new/fresh thread and try and compile the most useful data into one. Then again, I am a quite the "thread dreamer" and fantasize about creating or finishing all types of dang threads LOL
