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.

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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
