No Posts in this thread..... Hmmm OK I'll put one up Just so its not empty 
Installed and tested the AAM Competition 350Z Stage 1 Fuel Return Kit.
The reason this is being installed before the engine swap is that so many parts will be changed in one go I thought, if I install, test and prove some parts working they are less likely to be an issue when the new engine goes in should any problems arise.
It started of looking like this
The workshop foreman immediately took up position
Stripped the plenum etc out -
Then out with the stock fuel rails
Removed the injectors and got all the new bits together
New fuel rails installed
Installed the new fuel regulator and test gauge.
On Sunday Buster (350-UK) popped round to play - Be warned keep clear of Bob and a pair of pliers
I'm not sure if he was planning on lowering the car on me at this point
Fuel pump assembly removed -
Modified and installed - nice neat job
New return fuel line mounted next to existing fuel feed line -
Pressure test -
We had 2 leaks to deal with when tested to 90psi One was a missing rubber washer the other is where the new braided fuel feed line connects to the original metal fuel line - this is due to the kit re-using the OEM connector - which I don't have - must have been removed at some point in the past. We have done a temporary fix at the moment with jubilee clips (that's when bob tried to remove my finger ) I will be replacing this with a proper aftermarket connector later.
So the senior mechanic put her back together -
Back to this
The only sign we were ever here -
