Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm rumming the 6-speed w/ a 4.11 welded diff to be exact. Should be a lot of fun. I'm currently trying to get my driveshaft worked out but, once thats done I'll have some driving vids posted.

I'm running my fuel pressure with the stock settings of 52psi w/o the vacume line attached.

ohh, i should if specified. I am swapping in a VQ35DE into my 240sx and want to utilize the stock fuel return system. Thats why I asked what the fuel pressure would be set at in fuel return mode VS returnless fuel setup. And if the factor ~195LPH would be enough or should I upgrade to a 255LPH ?

if stock pump is 195 lph that's bigger than a stock Z, so should be more than fine

stock fuel pressure on a Z is around 53.5 IIRC

I'm using a Walbro 255 which is good for gobs of power. Overkill if you ask me. You should be fine with what you have if your just going to run a stock engine.

I have a short low quality vid. More to come later.

This is with a Borla 3'' XR-1 round, and a 4.11 rear end. I start in 2nd gear only going 1/2 throttle!

Thanks guys.

I'm curently changing out my rear end out for a 3.54 because the 4.11 were waaaaay to short and I wasnt able to put the power down when exiting corners. It was pretty rediculous I was shifting gears all the time and I could accelerate in 6th fairly quickly lol.

Here are some finishing pics.

I would definitely go with a different swap for that car! In fact, I would never swap in a vq into another car, so much money for not much of a return
