I plan to have a fuel cell inserted in my GTR this winter, for SCCA racing in 2006. But there may be an SVRA class for the GTR too; only problem is one fuel cell wouldn't be enough capacity. Does anyone have experience with adding a second fuel cell? Is there any way to do it with just one fuel pump? The factory fuel pump? How big a capacity could I get with one fuel cell?

A fuel sell? I've heard of cars(not ultima) with smal clever elektro motors in the wheels...
How would that be...A V8 LS motor in the back of the Ultima and 2 elektro wheel motors in the front! then you've got a sort of 4wd and happy handling around town and also grip on the circuit and dragstrip and extra powerrrr...
Ofcorse the car would be a bit havier, but the techniek is there, it also can charge itself up during braking...and a Ultima can brake hard
Time will tell if this gone happen...
Its a mitsu rally evo elektro! with in wheel motors... the best of 2 worlds?
I found a link in English! here it is

A fuel cell (in [USA] SCCA racing terms) is a type of fuel tank that is more resistant to puncture/rupture. Some car classes of the SCCA require a fuel cell for entry into their events. Many other "sanctioned" race events require them, as well.

Sorry, I don't have any names, but there are companies that can do this. I am interested in fuel cells, too.

Oops, then I misunderstood...
I thought that was about other stuf, but now I understand It was because I read an German article in auto-motor-und-sport, about fuel cells and that article was also about that elektro Lancer evo...but I'm not that good in English sadly...
