Sorry for the revival. I have put in 2x R33s and neither are valid. (at least I didn't have to pay yet!) I ended up phoning them, and they then passed through the VIN so I can now search online....so long story short, if it doesnt work - call them, and if you are selling, maybe call them before your buyer cant find the info and walks away

Hence me saying... "2) Have a look, and work out if you can get to it as is. I couldn’t; so I chose to remove the following, you can skip ahead if you think you can get to it without removing them."

Sorry for the thread dig. I was asked about this recently and just found this thread. Forgot to post back saying drifting without the baffle was fine. Drifted for another year before I sold it.

Loosen it like 1/4 of a turn. They are done up really tight and when you pull them off you can't get them loose. If you undo them too much, you will bend the rods.

I would have measured both off the terminal and from an earth.

Mine was around 12v mark at idle...so i don't think that is true, unless it drops voltage when you throttle it a bit, which I doubt... measure it for us and let us know,.

pretty sure you need to have the rod / ends in as well, then they will stop it spinning. Crack the big nut, then remove the whole lot again. dont do more than crack it, as you will bend the rod if you take it out while its still on.

It's cause you didn't crack them while it was mounted... 3) You are using car stands aren't you? Good...Use the BIG shifter or the correct size spanner if you have it (Which I doubt unless you're a trucky) to crack the rod end. DONT screw them out all the way unless you have the outside end of the tie-rods off. You will need to mount them back on, or find a way to crack them hard and fast so it doesn't spin (ie. it's like needing a rattle gun on a pully)

Looks right to me, just undo the rods from the HICAS and put them into the lock bar

Thanks for the comments, other peoples experiences are always good when doing something like this. My views however; A) It's what 'everyone' on the forums here seemed to go for, which is why it continues to be a popular choice (even though now I'd say buy a walbro, cheaper, i had less problems and it would fit in the standard mount) B) No idea about that, but it didn't cause me any problems - Unless that had something to do with me going through 2 of these pumps...the walbro never had a problem... so it could be? not sure why I went through 2 Bosch's cause the tank was not contaminated. C) Like I said in the tutorial, you need to cut it down. D) Wasn't noisy for me at all. The Bosch was much louder than the Walbro however. Cheers Chris

The pipe on top of the pump should be in pretty well the same spot as the old one, take a look at the pics in the first post, it should fit?

SOLD

I've got the pink slip

I will sell it with a pink slip for $7000 before I get it rego'd... save me the cost of getting the rego done.
