    Hi guys,

    I'm strongly considering going to a stock front valance.  My car currently has an airdam installed.  I like it but eventually this car will need to go back to its former glory.  I may consider one of the BRE short airdams in the center though.  Anyway, do you have any ideas where I can find a set in good condition?  I've been away from the real world for awhile.

  2. Update: I did purchase this and was contacted by the shop owner, Taka Sato, soon after I placed the order.  He said he has a new (v2) in stainless and would be interested in my feedback.  I agreed to the new version and he threw in a T-shirt and sticker.  Great guy and very safe purchase.  Now I just need to buy the actual fuel pump.  🙂

    Can you tell that this group is a bunch of talented self taught fabricators with healthy dose of DIY and offer to help when needed?

    Yeah, that’s us and damn proud of everyone here. 

    Yep, that's why this group is so great!  We all know how to get things one way or another.

    Nissan already made a electronic fuel pump bracket for the S30;

    Or am I missing something..... is the price of these OEM ones so much, or so rare, repro's need made?

    You can't find a decent bracket anymore.  Most of the unit's I've seen are rusty, bent, or just not available.  AFIK, Nissan no longer sells them.

    Please do not devolve this request for help to a bashing of what this company produces and sells.  Like Alan said, if you can do it yourself then go for it...there's no need to hammer on the point that the part is over priced by most people's opinion (and I agree, it is pricey for what it is).  Though the ask was not one of value.

    The way I look at it, we shouldn't bash a company because of something we can do ourselves.  However, they have found a need and filled it with a product.  I highly respect this idea and encourage it.  I don't have the time, nor the resources, to build my own.  So, I have purchased it with the intention of focusing my time elsewhere.  Do-it-yourself projects are always a decision between time or money.  But I WILL be installing this myself...  😉

    As far as my status, I received an update the next day I placed my order with Kyusha.  The next batch of brackets are in production now and I'll get one fresh off the press.

  4. For me, the list is small but complex:

    1. Find and install a rebuilt brake switch distribution valve
    2. Install higher temp brake fluid (damn headers are too hot)
    3. Buy and install a Mikuni heat block shield (again, headers)
    4. Buy and install Nismo electric fuel pump and bracket

    @SteveE There may or may not be pre-drilled holes in the subframe - I need to look at my car tomorrow - but, regardless, Makita makes an awesome drill for just such occasions.

    Yes, there are holes pre-drilled in the frame.  I found mine over the summer -- behind the passenger rear wheel and near the tank.  Sorry can't find the pic.

     

     

  6. Thanks guys!  It's all good, I didn't see how this map update screwed up the profile page but it's a programming thing.  Rather than try to fix it, I think we need to do some updates on the server back-end to get the newest update installed first.  And, yes I'd love to visit Hungary to go check out their beautiful Z cars !!  😉
