hig guys,

need your help once mor,

ive just gotten my apexi s-afc 2 put in and i got 177 rwkw witht the following mods:

3" exhaust from the turbo

fmic (600 by 300 by 76mm)

turbosmart dual stage boost controller

all this with the stock turbo...

im running 0.65 bar of boost on high, just under 13 psi i think, i thought i could get more boost out of the stock turbo but the guy that dun the dyno said dont push it, so we left it at 13 psi.

anyway, car runs pretty good.

my mate wants to sell me his fuel pump out of his gtr for $200. worth getting??? i mean, i reckon $200 for the pump is pretty cheap, considering the bosch 044 is $400, and if i cant use the pump now i can always put it in later, after i get a bigger turbo.

but my question is if i do put the pump in will i notice any difference in power?? it'll probably drink more but that doesnt bother me as long as theres some sorta power increase.

looking forward to ur replies, thanx

You probably won't notice an actual increase in power, as all you're doing is giving more pressure to the fuel system. Say you put larger injectors in, the current pump may have problems proving enough pressure for the new 'jectors to fire properly. Put in a better pump, the injectors can fire properly, everything's happy. That's what a new pump will do for you. Not a bad thing to do though. Better pumps are generally stronger and less prone to shitting themselves. $200 doesn't sound too bad.

I can buy a Bosch 044 for about $280 (wholesale cost). The GTR fuel pumps are a considerable improvement, but I'd go for a new one considering the price difference. On your current setup it is not necessay, but if you are considering a turbo upgrade in the future then it's worth buying.

No, a pump will pump the same amount of flow constantly, and although a GTR fuel pump does pump more, it is the injectors which use the fuel. So aslong as your fuel pressure doesn't increase then there will be no increase in fuel usage.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
