Yes you go through the boot.

It's on that shelf part on the drivers side.

There is a metal plate with 4 10mm bolts. Take that off then you will see the top of the tank.

Use a piece of wood and a hammer to get the round plastic cap thing off after you remove the hoses.

The stock fuel pump is mounted on a "gold" bracket... it is set at an angle into the fuel tank (about 45 degrees). Take your shirt off and reach down into the fuel tank you will be able to reach the pump easy.

From memory, the bracket just slides off it's holding plate with a firm tug - there are no bolts holding it in.

NOTE: Make sure you don't have any sparks or lights shining down there... don't want a fire starting now do ya?

Thanks for that Bob...

Yes as my sidekick has mentioned it slides straight up...

The Bosch 040 sucks from the bottom of the pump, the stock pump utilizes a "sock" which reaches all the way to the bottom of the tank.

Now here's the choice you have to make;

1) Somehow fix the 040 to the bracket (I had to modify mine) and make a custom extension to the bottom of the tank - you will need a reducer made up and some thick silicon hose that goes to the bottom.

2) Extend the fuel hose and just drop the pump into the bottom of the tank. You may get some "noise" :ermm: But with a little bit of thought, you can get around this.

I went for Option 1) as it seemed like the better one to follow (at a cost of course).

If I was to do it again, I would get the Nismo or Tomei drop in's or use the stock pump and run it into an external pump + surge tank setup.

Cheers

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
