Default Anyone know why you would replace the stock fuel line?

So after a recent issue with my fuel line getting disconnected...i realized that the fuel line in my car had been replaced with an aftermarket fuel line...

(this occured to me when i was looking under the hood of another 350Z and a G35 and realized that they had rubber fuel lines that were somehow bonded on, and mine was a braided line and held on with a hose clamp)

so any guesses why one would need an aftermarket fuel line? is this an indication of any other possible modifications i dont know about?

Upgraded fuel is a MUST for forced induction. I have the CJM and let me tell ya, it aint cheap brotha. If you feel like it, you should take a look inside your fuel compartment. You don't have to take the fuel bucket out, but you should be able to see what/if any has been modded. If you don't intend to get full use of an upgraded fuel system, you could make some descent coinage to swap with someone.

Are you sure its not that fake fuel line cover with the pricy anodaised ends bluffing you. Or does this line run all the way to the back of the car on the underside.

nitrous, i am sure someone had nitrous on it and cut the line then replaced it somehow to fix the line, the new line costs about 100 dollars from nissan.


i bet if you look in the trunk, you will see 4 holes drilled down through the floor...
