The fuel pump in Di's R33 died last night after she picked mu up from the Schutzenfest (pity it didn’t break down on the way there - I could have had more drinking time)

anyway, after the RAA towed us home I took the standard pump out and applied 12V across it (nothing happened). I then tried to use my old pump (from the upgrade on my car) and nothing happened either (it may have seized after sitting on the shelf for 12 months)

Has anyone got a standard pump I could borrow/buy to get the car going? Repco were no help as they don’t list a part, and Nissan wont be open until Monday.

Any help appreciated.

Guy

Some thing to be aware of mate if you apply 12 volts to a fuel pump that is not in the tank they can and will blow up. fuel vapours in the pump will ignite and kaboom. Got a R32 GTR pump. If they are the same you can borrow.

Thanks Guys

Looking for a replacement pump on Monday (shops are mostly shut, and dont list a part for an imported Skyline)

Rob, thanks for the offer, I think I will wait because its such a bastard of a job to remove the cap in the tank, only want to do it once if I can.

Has anyone priced a pump (and possibly a new tank cap), what should I expect?

Hi Guy,

If it's of any help, I still have my old original pump if you need it. I'll chuck it in the boot and bring it to work with me. I work over in Keswick, so if you're in the vicinity you're welcome to it.

Cheers,

Mike

Went to Nissan to price a stock pump - $780 :lol: :) :lol: ;) I could almost replace the pump and get 550cc injectors for that amount :PBJ:

I did find out today that you cant use a test light to complete a circuit :P But the pump works OK when you connect two wires direct from the battery.

My spare pump is working, as is the one Mike gave me (thanks again Mike - I'll return the pump)

Howdy Guy,

at least something positive came out of the exercise, eh!

Nice meeting you today and please don't go to any fuss or bother returning the pump, just pop past whenever you're in the area looking for a coffee! :P

Cheers,

Mike

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
