HI There,

If a fuel pump is on it's last legs what are some tell tail signs that it needs replacing?

Could one be that when I turn the boost up (to say 11 psi) and floor it a sudden fuel cut comes in.... like all power stops, cause when I turn the boost down to 9psi it works fine...

Also when I touch the accelerator lightly I can here a high pitch noise from the back of the car.. (and also when cruising at 60 I can also here it then).

So that said, if it is my fuel pump should I just replace the unit with a new factory Nissan one or buy a second hand GTR or what?? ( I have an R33 gts-t with FMIC, Air, boost - 163 rwkw's)

Are they just a simple replacement or do they need a lot of work to get in?

Thanks for the advice.

Rob

Welcome to the world of boost cut - above 12psi and your computer says I've had enough.

You can buy a defender to stop this happening, but if you are thinking about upgrading the ecu or fitting a SAFC(I think), you wont have to worry any more.

As to what to do if you have to replace your fuel pump (which I dont believe you do yet) that will depend on what your future hp goals are

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
