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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
