^I know we give skyline drivers sh*t from time to time, but maybe they are smart enough to keep the tank more than 1/3 full most of times?

I owned one of the really old HR31 skylines from the 1980s with first gen IRS which meant the rear bar would literally hit the ground if you had more than 200rwkw and stock suspension, you could do this with less than 1/4 of a tank and no problems. A surge tank is not even on the list ever as far as it goes for skyline mods, even guys who run 10-11 seconds run the stock tank.

Skyline to Falcon have different design tanks (everything!,) so NO COMPARISON.

Each to their own, surge tank or intank swirl.

Right or wrong?

Same results, grunt!

More grunt can potentially be achieved with a correctly engineered intank set up.

I'm not surprised almost no one has developed anything with such a small market, be a very poor return on investment.

Hence the higher unit price. Guess you've answered your own question!
