I figure a formal introduction is in order..

I tried a stock KA fpr. Then I replaced the fuel filter with a 300zx tt filter. The fuel pressure is still doing the same thing: When the fuel pump comes on, the gauge slowly creeps up to 20psi and stops. It does not change when I crank the car or rev the engine. When I turn the car off, the pressure immediately drops to 0psi.

Think my fuel pump might be run into the dirt by the previous owner not knowing how to adjust the regulator (Nismo Type A). Try, try again.

New Fuel Pump today! Yay! Car is running good, just need to go exchange my new battery. All that cranking and almost no driving has run it into the ground.

Then, its off to my buddy's house for exhaust fab!

Video to come! However it will be in a new thread... a thread of sheer triumph and championism! Thats right... I made up a word. :yesnod

Whoever made this janky harness would have to do that. The guy who had the car before me chose to scrap my wiring (messy, but worked) and buy all new harnesses and waste alot of money and time having unneccesary harness work done by some third party. In the meantime, he killed the dash lights, blinkers, windows, wipers and I have about 25 useless connectors hanging off of my engine and transmission.

The guy who did the wiring harness is mentioned earlier in this thread. The way I originally did it was run individual wires to all of the neccesary equipment to run the car. Its fairly easy if you have wiring diagrams for both of the cars. The only thing I did different was straight wire the fuel pump which was going to have switch to itself.

So... I drove the car for a while tonight. Didn't ride it too hard without a boost gauge or BOV. Will be much better/quieter with an exhaust on it.

I'm not sure that it's this particular car, BUT Beau (apex) is telling me his drift car was part of the tornado's lunch yesterday. I have yet to see pictures or anything. I'm sure he'll pop in here when he's not busy
