while i remember, anyone doing an EFI conversion, I can highly recommend the aeromotive phantom stealth 340. Will post some photos of it but the one pump did away with the need for a swirl pot, extra lines, fittings and mounted directly into the mk2 drop tank. also means nothing gets mounted in the boot. Was a good find and has so far proved very reliable....

That fuel set up is an awesome solution, i believe paul dunstan is doing something like that with some oem parts.

I know all about Pauls OEM fuel solution. We have been in regular talks for quite awhile now as we have very similar builds. Huge help to see how some bits go back together, share problems, what works etc. I am also running one of his bias pedal box assemblies and rear disc conversion kits. Both are working brilliantly.

Hey Robbie, Brake system V1.0 and 2.0 all kept the original drum setup.
Version 3.0 which is the on road version changed to rear discs courtesy of
Nissan R31 calipers and P.Dunstan conversion kit...

Hi Robbie,
What make is the rear sway bar you are using, looks like it uses the standard diff mounting points like the one I have on my RS, I want to use a beefier one , plus my standard one is a bit bent and needs to be replaced.  Most of the aftermarket ones seem to use U bolts to hold to diff housing.
Cheers, Len

The rear sway bar is the standard item. How much it is actually doing I am not sure. I have had a few people mention that it really doesnt do a hell of a lot. That said, cant be doing much harm either.

Thanks for the prompt. Just created a Flickr album with nearly all the photos I have from start to finish.
Note this includes photos of parts that may have been removed prior to the car going on the road. Any
problems with the link, let me know...

Unreal mate, pretty much perfect and how id want mine. Pity its such a pain in the ass getting a decent motor engineered here in SA

Also you were able to make the throttle bodies clear with standard booster?

The legal/engineering issues were definitely the most frustrating bit of the build. So much misinformation.
Luckily found Stewart Reid at SR automotive to get it across the line.

Did manage to get the ITBs to clear the brake tower but then the alternator is the problem. You need to move that to low down on the passenger side. That would have been a pain but doable. Then got the all clear for pedal box so dodged that bullet
