hey everyone

has anyone on here installed a bosch 040 internal fuel pump into an r33 gtst.

I tried doing mine the other day but have had a couple dramas.

Was wondering if someone could help.

Is there anyone around ferntree gully (eastern suburbs)

willing to come give us a hand. If ya wanna get paid for fitting

thats cool, just let me know how much ya willing to do it for.

Ive taken the old pump out, and mounted the new one to the cradle, but when i

went to put it back into the tank, i found that the long plastic cylinder which i assume

reads the fuel levels in the tank won't fit back in. It seems since the new pump is

physically larger it causes grief re-mounting the fuel sensor thingy lol.

Hope someone can help.

cheers.

I just did one yesterday......You shouldn't have to remove the plastic cylinder thing.

The pump will fit back in but it is pain, you just need to get it in the right angle.

Yeah i didn't think i would either, but while i was doing it my gf (whose an apprentice mechanic) thought it'd be a good idea to do it, so now im stuck, cant get it back in. Where u located. wanna come fit mine lol.

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
