    The better question is, are you going? There were only 2 Z31s last year, and mine was one of them.

    Do you have the 37° flaring tools? Could you to elaborate what size you went with? fuel pump in tank? etc, PM if you like

    I think cost considering I would fit the feed side with AN fittings/line and route the return in standard high pressure line. Were you able to retain the OEM fuel rails? I'm running the MB '036' now and would like to avoid changing injectors, possibly cutting and flaring the OEM rails, though fitting it with my intake may be an issue.

    not yet. I took from the stock hard line, to -6AN, and ran a short SS hose up to a filter, then 90* to SS over to the Palnet passenger side rail. made a loop from one rail to the other at the rear, then comes off the front of the drivers side down to the upper cross bar where the Aeromotive FPR is located. I have a 45* into that. then a 45* out the bottom to a SS hose along the frame rail to the stock return hard line. we will see how it does with this setup, the Walbro 255, and RX-7 560cc's once it's on the dyno.

    Solid. -6 would be a good choice, as is what i planned. besides the little details, i plan to experiment with flaring the OEM hardlines and fuel rails to 37° and hope they don't pose a fire hazard - as most of the car has done thus far.

    Currently running Bosch 044, MB '036 injectors, A-1000 FPR @ 60psi + plenum vac routing, which will also receive AN treatment. Will need to add a decent AN fuel filter. From there the low pressure side should be fine with standard high pressure FI line and clamps.

    Word. I've got some at the hanger for aircraft work, but the boss isn't about to let me borrow a $$$$$ piece of equipment to hard line a antique Nissan.
