i still dont need to repaint it! Once you go single, you want look back... IMO
I don't know what exhaust gaskets you are using, but everyone seems to frown on everything but the OEM 1JZ ones. I chose to use the aftermarket brand and so far so good. No leaks or anything. I also replaced the studs with new ones and tightened the correct way by the shop manual. Maybe I have had better luck than others.

so guys ive installed my fuel rail kit the other day. in order to get to the front fitting, you will need to take off the throttle body. and in order to run the hardline and connect it from the rear, it would be a good idea to take off the iac valve.
this is the fuel line u will need to connect to the bottom of the fpr. this line comes from underneathe the car into a hard line and out the other end to the front of the fuel rail. get rid of the hose at the front of the rail as you wont need it anymore and use the hose at the rear.
this is it going underneath the car
and this is the hard line that comes with the fuel rail kit from driftmotion. it takes some wiggling to get it on right, just have patience
and here is where i decided to mount the fpr. i was going to mount it on the side of the intake manifold, but in order to do that, i wouldve needed to buy a longer fuel line. which i didnt want to do since i already bought the kit.
i used zip ties to mount it on the hardlines by the firewall. it has a little up and down movement but no left and right movement what so ever. so hopefully itll work

however i do have a question and i have been trying to find the answer but cant seem to. im actually not quite sure these were hooked up before but figured id ask. do i cap these 2 coolant holes (i think theyre coolant)
the one on the rear and front. from what i understand, the one on the front is supposed to run to the coolant line to the block, but on my car, it isnt run like that. the coolant line off the block runs to a hardline by the fuel lines underneathe the intake and back to behind the intake...and as for the rear one i dont even knw....

nvrmind i found the answer to my coolant lines question on the throttle body. it seems that indeed the line from the block goes to the front of the throttle body and the line are the rear goes down into the hardline that i was talking about. i dont knw why my car is set up so weird so im going to change it to the way it should be
