On a side note, the new Nissan gas tank didn't fix the problem.....

interested in this as well!

I'm interested too. May not get in the first buy, but certainly sometime in the next few months.

Will anything have to be done differently when combined with a return ruel system if added later?

phunk 09-11-2011 07:06 PM

yes the mapping of the fuel lines would have to be altered. i have a map i drew of how i would probably try it first, i will focus more on that down the road.

phunk 09-12-2011 07:36 PM

Ran into this Saturday at Texas World Speedway. 2011 Nismo, stock wheels. Had a student in the car showing how to connect clockwise turn 6 to 5 (~4 second sustained right). So, turn 7 high speed right, straight, sharp right a entry of 6 with big arc to 5 and... Choke... Left at 4 and left at 3 with high speed right sweeper 2 to 1 choke there too. Oil temps 240 and no error lights or other indication. Heck of a "track car" ya built there Nissan. Hot oil, hot brakes and a fuel system that can't handle a spirited turn... But I did like the handling during my sessions on track even though I was limited to three laps per while all the stock BMWs and Porsches went without a hitch for a dozen... May be something there... And so, the track mods begin!

Quick thanks. Hey folks, thanks. Based on this I topped off my gas tank before the first red session today (still at TWS today). No issues in the turns where I was getting the starvation. Little extra weight but beats losing power and having the nose of a GT3 invading my exhaust pipes in turn 2-1 at 130!

Yep - CW at TWS is a killer from the front straight to the carousel. I was at Cresson 2 weekends ago running the 3.1 and forgot to fill up for a session - "2 dots down from full" and dam if it didn't happen in turn 9. No matter how you slice it - CCW or CW - big right hand sweeping turns and the current Nismo setup will not work.

Come on Phunk - WE NEED YOU!!!!!! :tiphat:

track testing got pushed back a week! :(

the car had other tech issues that they had to work out and it took them until just a couple hours before having to load up the trailer and leave to get it all sorted and ready, so they had no time to get our part installed. they are going to try and get it in for this coming weekend now.

wstar 09-20-2011 04:56 PM

travisjb 09-20-2011 10:56 PM

gtkiller 09-21-2011 02:15 PM

Aw mannnn.....

the thought of always having to track at a full tank just kills me...
