1- Florida I-4 between exits 28 and 37 mid-morning.
2- Nissan NISMO Z (with noticeable exterior mods).
3- SC RX8 (with not-so-much noticeable exterior mods).
4- Spanked twice with just downshifting from 6th to 5th
5- Watching the Nissan NISMO Z owner face expression after the second run.....

PRICELESS!!!

I did this to a probably bone stock 350Z. I didn't get to see his face because he pulled off at the next rest area, probably to see what was wrong with his car...

you might send me a pm.

i had a odd fuse go at a track day. rendered the pump dead.. first thing i would do is see if you are getting power to the pump..

we did that after i pulled the pump.. i am sure denny recalls that day..

and for me the odd fuse was not one you would think of being involved..

btw, i have an extra resistor if you need it.

Received my Re-medy pump and Thermostat
will install it this week end (thanks to mazda technical CD for the "DIY" help)

You did use the fuel pump check ground thingy right---if you just turned on the switch it will not pump. Safety feature.
Swoope I do remember---hell of a day.
We never to have a fuel system analysis w/e meeting and come up with some fix's.

ok i am stumped---new engine in--double and triple checked all connections/fuses. plugs getting spark--but no evidence of gas. Pump will come on for 1-2 secs then quit. fp relays are clicking when i turn the key.guess i have to pull the pump? No gas in lines at all---none! Damn car
i am going to have to use the chant again.
Any ideas yall??

Fill the tank with gas.
Check for a plastic quick connect fitting parts in the fuel line.

LOL



Seriously,
Connect a hose to the pump output at the tank, see if there is gas coming from the pump; send a wire of jumper power direct to the pump input.
If that test fails, the pump is probably pining for the fjords.

Short the fuel pump jumper in the fuse box to make the pump run continuously when the key is in the "on" position.
That's what its there for!

I've seen two of them. Burned right out.

Bad idea at the moment, so hold off on that.

I just started testing one of these and the results are disturbing.

Look on the bright side, Denny... no gas means your car won't go up in flaming glory on the roadside. Think of how good your mileage is and how you're reducing your [gag]carbon footpring[/gag]. Instead of having a high performance snarling beast, you've got a great life-sized play car like you had in the sandbox when you were a kid. You won't look near as cool pushing the car around, but if you can practice making "zoomzoom" sounds, people might not notice...

BTW, emptying litter box today, your dogs need any extra cat turds?

Seriously, I'm thinking along the same lines. Fuel pump is cavitating or shot, and may have been the cause of the original engine failure in the first place, hmmm? I mean, just because the fuel pump is making noise doesn't mean it's working. I know, I have employees like that.

yep plan on doing the short this morning --thanks.
and ha ha you guys are funny---realllll funny but i will look anyway!

Seen resistors go bad? Dang wonder how that happened---short or something?
Whats up with the 09 setup --what did ya find--fess up--so far its been working very well for me?
I do really need a fuel pressure gauge--but i am getting crosseyed looking at what i have now.
pretty soon i am going to need an engine supervisor to ride with me so i can just drive.

Rote8

Sorry for the dark humor Denny.
I laugh at things I cannot change, because I do not have the serenity to accept them.

rotarenvy

resistors go bad from overheating, the ceramic cracking or a combination. defiantly not unheard of

it's alive-----i was out of gasNot enough in it to supply the pump with the angle the car has on the stands

Getting the first fire up misfires. Grrrrr.
Now the windshield is broke----big ole crack in it--maybe i did it while i was sleepwalking?
call geico
maybe i can get one with eyeballs - like that one in the movie "Cars"?

california style

maybe the "insult chant" got so blue the windscreen couldn't take it.....

THATS IT! It should come with a warning to only use once ---instead of like I did-----daily.

Everything has side effects, nothing is perfect. You got your transmission in, didn't you? You should have stopped there. Using the Incantation without a specific object to direct it towards will ultimately result in the energy being direct towards unintended objects.

Were you really out of gas?
Just yankin' Denny, I can do much worse. And frequently do.

Hey guys im doing a Pettit supercharger install right now and was at the assembly part of it and was wondering where specifically the fuel line(?) is suppose to go. you disconnect it from the plastic intake manifold assembly (blue clip) and in the instructions it doesnt state where to place it back. please help as soon as possible! thank you!

Rote8

That blue line is the evap system, remove the little, electronic wire connected, two nippled, valve thing from the stock intake; one side goes to vacuum from the blower intake side (right below the blower bypass valve) the other side goes to the metal line near the hard fuel line.

JWoody

awsome we got that now what about the VDI actuator? i know that you are suppose to plug the VDI hose that comes out of the "Vacuum tank" but what do you need to do with the actuator? i feel like i am missing something.

JMKuco

hi,I am having a hard time instylling my Re-Medy water pump...
and when I though I was going to finish : the petit sc has a part that do not allow me to take out the water pump (see pict).

any solution please ??? !!

iTrader: (3)

Do you have to take out the SC to move that piece? Is the SC using the pump bolt?..can you get a wrench on the bolt and remove it?

Kinda sucks if you can't

JMKuco

I definitly think I have to move the SC forward...
I finaly took out every blet to acces to all the nuts...
but I do not remember where is the 4th nut (the sc in fixed with 3 nut in the front and one in the back - where is it ??)
so complicated... and I didn't start the thermostat change

Rote8

Remove S/C belt.
Remove S/C pulley.
Remove the 6 bolts behind the S/C pulley that hold on the bracket.
