First rebuild and I have some questions

As I have gotten more familiar with the 3000gt and the rebuild side of vehicles, I started to realize some things about my specific 3000gt that I am definitely going to need help with in the near future. When I bought the car it was listed as a 95' body with a 92' engine in it. Come to realize the 95' body is from a base model 3000gt therefore being FWD. The engine however is a TT vr4. I have found minor changes to the body of the car to fit the intercoolers and such but I am already questioning other aspects of the car. These being:

I was looking at the clutch master cylinders on the 3sx website and saw the difference between the NA FWD and the TT AWD versions. I have never even driven a manual car before so I'm especially new to any parts dealing with the clutch. Obviously, the car has twin turbos but at the same time, it is not AWD. Which would I be able to use and will I need more modifications to make one of those work?

My second question for now being somewhat of the same scenario. I have read that the TT injectors push ~ 360cc and the NA injectors about ~ 220cc. This being said, the fuel pump sending unit also has a longer arm for the NA version of this car because of the smaller fuel pump. Will I need to be getting a larger fuel pump and do some modifications to the fuel sending unit to hold the larger pump seeing as I have a TT engine?

Very sorry this post is so long, I am still quite the amateur in the car scene so be kind. I will be removing the fuel sending unit soon myself to see if it looks changed in any way or if the previous owner already did the work himself. Thank you to anyone that replies with help!

Just a thought. This part of the forum gets VERY little traffic, post it in the introduction or general section where most of the action is. You'll get much better results. Good luck.

Copy that, Thank you for your response

I'll move you.

Thoughts on your situation - everything on your car is probably N/A (e.g. clutch slave, fuel pump housing), with your engine being TT (e.g., injectors) .... but you'd have to see the parts to be sure.

What a strange sale - I hope you didn't get duped into thinking you were buying a VR4.

I started anther thread because I cant delete this one. Hope that is okay and thank you for your response. I got a good deal on the car factoring in the price and what came with the car. Im glad I have it and I'm glad to be apart of this and start the rebuild process. I'm sure I can get it running smoothly with the help here.
Merged your two threads - great, glad you got it and joined the forum. There are a ton of folks still reading the boards who can guide you.
