Do guys know if the Hinson SS headers will work with the Sikky kit? I would hate to spend 1000 on mild steel headers.

You are better off with the Sikky headers. The quality is much better. To my knowledge, the fitment of the Hinson headers is poor regardless of the kit.

You only need one fuel line. I can see if i have any pics off mine but I went to the parts store with the stock 350Z line and the ls1 fuel rail, got the fittings, clamps (f.i. clamp) and some of that $6 per foot fuel line. It hooks up just like a stock line and cost about $25.

I'm not sure if your stock pump will be able to feed the LS motor or not, I already had a 255 pump in mine.

I was thinking of going with a single or dual 255 if possible. Yes if you could post those pics that would be great.

Sorry bud, I prob start a new post and I will place a bunch of pic's. Here's what I have going on though; 1) the headers are being installed 2)Power steering lines as well 3)install solid rear mount bushings. Things I need to do are; figure out where to place the ECM, install 255 in tank pump and which fittings to use? How to get the OEM gauges to work? I have an after market Autometer tach gauge but it wont fit in the stock cluster. If one of you could explain how to get the rest of the oem gauges to work like if I were a 3 year old that would be great.
