Hi all , I'm a bit confused about R32/33 GTR fuel pumps and std internal tank surge chamber . I one saw a picture of the R32GTR's surge chamber and need to know if the R33 GTST has this as well . I understand the R32/3 GTR pump goes into normal R33's and is a common upgrade . Are the GTR pumps poisonous to buy new and is the 33 version a higher volume pump ?

BTW don't need anything over the top just for absolute max 270/280 Kw .

Cheers A .

Hey thanks for that crack , the Nengun ask seems pretty reasonable I reckon . I'll PM Performance Wise as they gave real good price on my PFC/Boost control kit . If his ask is sort of similar I'll have one .

Can you keep me posted when you fit yours

Cheers Adrian .

PS. Id like to see that "pressure relief valve" because to me it looks like a pulse damper sort of like what VL's have on the external pumps mounting bracket .

I did the same thing, but got a nismo in tank pump (from nengun). It comes already fitted on a bracket etc, it was just plug and play really. Just slide the old one out and slide the new one in. I had fitted a walbro but when everyone started bagging them I thought I'd upgrade.

Only if you manage to get the pump cradle.

The problem with the gtr pumps is that you're replacing an old pump with another old one. Unless if you get one off a car with very low genuine kays, it's not worth it.

A pump is verey important. If the pump dies suddenly when you're wot, you'll kill the motor. If it reduces in flow over time, it can also make the motor run lean for a period of time and also kill it.

Keep in mind, that the reason why we're upgrading pumps is because we want to put out more power. We're going to need more fuel flow than stock becuase of the extra power, so if it dies, it'll be more dnagerous.

A new gtr pump wouldl be an excellent choice, but from nissan, the price is similar to the nismo/tomei pump.

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
