Hi there SAU members after tinkering around with the spark plugs etc etc to fix my 32's spluttering prob starting to lean towards that it might be the fuel pump starting to fizzle out so to speak, so i wanted to know if im only producing no more than 250kw what is the best for my money bosch or walbro and how much should i expect to pay for either and where is the best place i could get one ,example ebay, repco,supercheap,autobarn,(taking into account im in the bush and we have a limited spare parts shops! so they usually over price everything,,so i dont want to be taken for a ride)hopefully it'll be money well spent !!!!! opps reeally like to know also what model numbers they are !

Thanks R31Nismoid had previously looked at to of those threads shows me i shouldnt go walbro should go bosch but one thing that all these threads are how much you guys are actually paying for one ? i think a 040 bosch should be adequate for my needs so who has bought one and what did it cost you?

Mine was heavily discounted through someone at Bosch hehe :(

... i dont actually know the RRP for them mate so i wont send you off with some silly figure.

I think around $250-300 is what people pay for em going by the For Sale section where they come up now and again.

how about throwing your car on the dyno for an hour (about $100) and find out if you really need a new fuel pump

if you're just changing it as a hit or miss to fix your stuttering problem, it would be a shame to waste money for no reason if its not the cause ofhte problem...

but on the topic of fuel pumps, i personally have a walbro pump as apparently its easier to fit in the stock location. i had it fitted at the mechanic and they ordered it through their supplier.

cheers,

Warren

Hey warren you are right it is a hit and miss fix seeing how the closest dyno is over 100klm away worried about breaking down before i even get there tried coil packs spark plugs new fuel filter etc but seems as the prob getting increasingly more noticeable (slowly occurring more often) just removed the AFM to have a look and my god it is full of dirty shit cant believe i didnt see it before so ill clean all this up before i go a head and buy a new pump incase thats why it could be playing up

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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
