I would personally leave the stock pump in and fit the new pump in line. The stock pump would work as a helper. I would also suggest fitting a light pre-pump filter to save your new pump from any risk of damage!

But then again, there is more than one way to skin a dog (or cat for that matter :laugh: !)

I did my Bosch 044 myself a few years ago because my mechanic didn't want to do it. Hard to get the right fittings etc. Also it was very difficult to get the pickup right down into the bottom of the tank. A dodgy install will pickup about 1/4 of the way off the bottom, so you tend to run out of petrol at that point and get fuel surge (read: leaning out) at more than that when you corner fast.

In fact when I first installed mine I had that problem (but at just below the Empty line) and I could first tell it was a problem when I went around a corner and the engine cut out momentarily. I wasn't flooring it though so luckily no leaning out problem. But I ripped it out and installed it properly. I had deliberately run it low to test and see if I would get this problem.

I don't have any photos because I lost them, but the exact same pump is doing a transplant within the next few weeks so I'll definitely make sure I get photos and post them up while it's out.

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
