EFI Progress on my Datsun 240K

looks good! thanks for posting those up, that will help me when it comes to mounting my fuses and ECU

Looking good!

To fill the holes, see if there is anyone reasonably nearby who does aluminium construction, boats or bullbars

If you can find someone then a short piece of aluminium bar can be inserted into each hole and MIG or TIG welded into place.

I didn't go to the extent you have, just made a 5mm steel blanking plate, had it zinc electroplated & irridited gold, then bolted it on in place of the EGR valve. Looks factory stock and was easy!

I've sent it to our welding department (TAFE Tasmania), I have spoken to one of the teachers, and hopefully he will weld it up,

But my next hold up is where to mount my fuel pump, I had a quick look under my car, and there don't seems to any good spots to put it, and i'm not wanting to put it in the engine bay, so where has every one else put there electric fuel pump ?

Picture of the fuel pump I'm going to use (R30 Skyline one)

You 'should' have enough room under the boot (trunk) floor to the right front of the spare wheel well.

It will need a sheet steel shield protection plate in front, under and at the side of the pump area.

For filtration use something from a late Holden - spares tend to be easier to get!

Have you got a picture of this ?

Sorry, I missed your question on the position of the pump - not that it mattered as you worked out the preferable position anyway!

Once it's on the road check the pump and surrounding area for gravel rash or any sign of stone/debris impact - just add a simple steel shield if you spot any.

If you had the luxury of painting the entire underfloor not too many would even realise that pump wasn't a standard fitting.

Looking good on the EFI conversion!
