^^ yep, those all have to be fuel resistant.

when i did the pump in the R31 I put some ordinary closed-cell foam in as a spacer, and the petrol destroyed it in very short order. if I was doing some custom work in the tank I would cut off small pieces of what i wanted to use and soak them in petrol for a week to make sure they didn't dissolve.

sweet setup though, well done B-man :ermm:

Did you have 1 or 2 Duncan ?

Fuel pressure is base - no aftermarket reg

Had to put a check valve on the line just out of the tank as the ones that are allegedly on the Walbros don't work very well - apparently this is common.

  • 2 months later...

So far so good with the Walbros - 45 PSI idle fuel pressure - goes up to 60 when boosting. Not a problem at all.

People seem to love them or hate them the Walbros - the Yankees love them - They flow well, draw less current, have a small form factor - thus in tank fittment of two is not a problem. And they are in-expensive compared to some others.

So - just an update on where I am at with the Cosmo now.

After sorting thru some small issues - Fitting a 4.5" exhaust, new mufflers, re-tune etc - am now at 340rwkw (that's with the auto so engine HP would be close to 400 or so. And that is running 10PSI

Boost starts at 2300RPM, 5PSI by 3000 and Full boost 4000RPM all the way to 8200RPM (nice power band from 4K to 8.2K) Power climbs and climps and is still climbing at redline.

Boost will be going up soon - to 15 PSI. (Need new 3 bar MAP sensor and complete retune - bugga) So hopefully over 400rwkw

I have a MV Stage II built box coming with a 3800 RPM stally.

10s here I come :P:D:)

I took the return fuel line off while on the dyno (Ok Ben at UAS did it but I watched :P) and at 255rwkw the flow completely stopped. Scary stuff. Also had major issues with fuel pressure which went away once I put an R34GTR pump in there.

As you say though, some love em and have no problems and some love em.

It's a MUST to run a dedicated relayed circuit from the Battery for these pumps. They don't voltage step well.

340rwkw - my 1600cc/min secondaries are running at 20% or something - no fuel problems for me

You also gotta ensure you get Genuine Walbros - there's China copies out there that are shite.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
