Yeah, I've thought about going back to stock taillights for a bit.
I bought a Nismo FPR but the problem was, the FPR is pointed towards the head on the KA24DE fuel rail.
A member on here shaved some metal off the head to make room, but I didn't like this solution.
Spooled240 had a nicer solution though, he cut the fuel rail flange and made a new one to sandwich it on there:
What I ended up with:
I didn't feel like cutting metal so I cut the end off a flange from another fuel rail from the junkyard and used a dremel to make it work.
So here's what I did:
The flange looks like this from the back of the motor:
Then I cut the top of it off so the FPR doesn't hit it.
Then I ground the hell out of the flange I snagged from the junkyard so it looks like this:
I also had to notch one side like this.
That way, it doesn't hit that square bit on the on the fuel rail.
Ta da!
Of course, since I modified an FPR flange, it's already threaded and everything.
I also bought longer bolts. I used allen head bolts because it's a pain to get a screwdriver back there, no idea why Nissan thought it'd be fine to use cruddy phillips head bolts back there.
Then I painted it all and slapped it on.
Stuff for the future:
740cc Nismo Injectors
Z32 MAF
Retune from EFISpecialist (Only $50
)
Z32 brakes all around.
Yaaaay!
Now, I just need to decide what color to paint my Z32 brakes.
Either gold:
Or silver with black letters, like AMG or Infiniti brakes:
I'm leaning towards silver though, I think gold might be too bright for my car.
I'm no good with photoshop, but you can imagine it:
So what do you guys think?
Gold or silver?
