    I agree with satan, unless that was your umteenth time doing it and you have a bridgeport or something and every tool and all materials and EVERYTHING at your fingertips, a good job just takes longer than that. Especially with a polished finish. From scratch that is.

        The injector bosses are 110mm apart on the stock lower manifold... 600cc injectors are ready to feed my beast.
        Not with polishing it didnt, Why do you try to convince every one that you are super man and can do car fabrication at impossible speeds all the time? I dont get it. what are you trying to prove? I promis it took you longer than 2 hours to make them. :roll:

        So you are saying you can make two of these, in two hours? BULL SHIT
        Wow Satan! Those are hella nice. Better looking my junk that I am building.
        Yeah and I didnt do it in no 2 bull shit hours either. But thank you!

          I didn't polish the outsides... just smoothed out the inside bore for the O ring to seat.

          I have a full shop with a mill and a ton of tools. I'm not trying to impress anyone, this is what I do for a living. I hope I'm decent at this kind of stuff... otherwise I should be looking for another job.

          Without a shop this would have easily taken twice as long.

                Don't worry... They're on the way. A little while back I ordered enough length of fuel rail stock to make 15 sets. I should get started on machining them in a little while.

                  You should offer different types of stock. Polished is nice, but there is the other type that has "louvers" around it to dissipate heat. Helps cool down the fuel that the pump heats up.

                    it's called a heatsink , and i think it would be more for looks than anything else ... but i don't know shit about fuel rails ....

                          HA! Agreed.

                          I could make my own rails using my buddies machine shop OR I could spend a little more cash and save myself the time/trouble as well as supporting the Z community.

                            I didn't mean to piss anyone off... sorry if I did.

                            I didn't polish my rails yet, but to mill the holes and weld on the -6 fittings it took me about two hours because I messed one up (I'm still getting used to the mill). Sanding and polishing the outsides of the rails will probably take another 45 minutes to an hour, and making the brackets and welding them to the stock lower will take another 30-45 minutes.

                            If Jason is making rails... I'd jump all over that. Jason's work and quality are top notch.

                            Here are some pics of the rails I made (today actually)

                              I have aluminum fuel rail and I had to trim the lower manifold for it to fit.
