It is worth the money? it all depends on the rest of your build? by itself no. What fuel pressure regulator will you be running?
Have a nice day

oh i see...i forget how much i payed for mine...it was i think 175 with the TB spacer and all the connections you see in that pic....

for me its worth it...i like that it cleans up the engine bay alot instead of that trumpet...and since ill be needing more fuel its a def go...

have you looked at pallnets rails??

conisderably cheaper and im sure same quality ...

HuH? I thought JSK sells those for $69 right off their website! No need to Buy It Now for double the price. They have them in stock and you will get it for the min bid.

Nice end connections, Skully. I got my JSK recently. It makes an EXCELLENT paper weight right next to my 2.5" downpipe and Fairlady Fender mirrors.

Anyone see that episode of "Top Gear" where Jeremy Clarkson did that with the motor out of the Porsche 928? It was pretty cool.

ROd.

Correction guys, it looks like JSK might no longer be around.
Now everyone scramble to buy that fuel rail and shoot the price up to $500!

Website gone, all ebay auctions gone.

Message from JSKinovations: I am finishing up with the Datsun items. I will have no more of these great products. Please grab what you can at these prices. Thanks!

Some of their last few auctions in Oct started the fuel rails out at a very low price. Some had a Buy It Now for $49.99 (black anodized is an additional $20)

I've been wondering. Are those Fairlady Fender Mirrors actually useable? It just seems like the passenger side mirror would be unusable and they just don't seem like they would work as well as the regular door mirrors. More for looks I guess?

The fender mirrors were actually required by the Japanese DOT. They actually eliminate the blind spot you find in cars with door mirrors. Unfortunately, it's a total bitch to adjust them, especially from the drivers seat!

And even though they eliminate the blind spot, they suck for field of vision being so far away, it's hard to make out what's what in the reflection!

Of course, since they aren't available in the US, everyone wants them so they can be 'JSpec'!

Funny thing is, the Japs all want door mirrors so they look like US versions of the cars!

Maybe we should setup a straight swap...? Find 25 Japanese Z car owners and swap fender mirrors for our door mirrors?!

Everybody wants to be somebody else...
