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

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
