Almost finished the fuel pump/ sending unit. I was lucky enough to find a used one locally for a good price as one of my spring holders is broken. Just gotta tighten the bottom hose clamp, solder and heat shrink the wires and add a hose clamp to hold the pump in place.
The pump is a walbro 450 if anyone was wondering. Hoping to get the fuel lines ran to the engine bay this weekend and hoping to install the motor Tuesday or Wednesday. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....7809352037.jpghttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....9a2488f703.jpg |

Looking good Ragg!

So after lots of swearing I could get the fuel assembly to go into the tank. I am so high on gas fumes.
I figured out why the last fuel tank hanger was broken, the tank was bent upwards which caused the spring mechanism to snap. So I pounded the tank out with a 2x4 and a sledge hammer and now its straightened out and fits....but the damn gas fumes had me going crazy haha https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....1b021f1441.jpg |
I have to run the fuel lines, install the new clutch line and a few more things tomorrow, then Monday or Tuesday (Weather dependant) I will be installing the motor/harness
|
The fuel lines are in hardest part was getting them to fit around the fuel tank took a bit of prying with a pry bar.
I only ran the lines half way waiting for engine to be in to find the final position. The run up right next to the manifold / Down pipe which is concerning https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....0db17632c1.jpg |

Well I bit of a hick up, I was flustered today and didn't read the torque specs on the clutch pressure plate.....bolt snapped in the flywheel.
Damn I really gotta pay more attention, it's gonna cost me a few $ to get it extracted at the machine shop. Also I am now wondering about the stock, 350z clutch fork doesn't seem to be locking into place on the pivot ball. It seems to lift off the ball when i press on the clutch fork, maybe I should order the upgraded one and just wait a few weeks? |
Taking a break away from the car for a bit, Need to order the 2006 350z clutch fork and pivot ball.
Currently I have the 2003 fork/pivot ball, which is too weak for the ACT stage 5 clutch. Flywheel is ready to be picked up at the machine shop. I am just waiting till payday to order a clutch fork/pivot ball, funds are tight atm, because of the turbo payments. I gotta slow down I was rushing things too much. It's not like I can drive it, when it's done as it wont be driven in the winter anyways. |
You'll get there
Do you have a clutch alignment tool? |

So I got the clutch fork and pivot ball today, I didnt realize I needed a 2006 throw out bearing spring/clip.
So another delay, damn I'm getting s bit frustrated. Just when you think you can bolt the trans to the block you realize you missed something.... Anyways delayed until Thursday. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....7285f8081f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....0d325b31c6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....f854f46810.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....7ffb930f5c.jpg |

Raggan - please please please put solid mounts in … it will be soooo worth it. I had some fabricated but the Z1 six-shooter will be perfect and will give you more space in that area.
