hey fellas putting a r33 gtr pump in my gtst abd just wondering. where the lugs go onto the pump, the positive has a rubber boot around it and the negative doesnt.. just wondering what would happen if the positive one did not seal properly? would there be a risk of explosion ?? reson being is the gtr pump has a slightl different mounting point so it does not seal up 100%

anyone give me confirmation that its ok for them not to be 100% insulated??

thanks, awaiting reply before i do anything else

hmmm, anyone else?

also the fking rubber mount doesnt match up with the gtr pump so now im stuffed with no car to go anywhere. spewing hard!

also there is a thing on top of the pump that the gtst one didnt have, whats that for? and also a threaded hole underneath the pump too

am i missing anything else? like a pressure relief valve or something??

try and adapt the rubber if you can if not then you might have to remove it. as long as the pump is mounted in there ok and the wires cannot short out in anyway then you should be ok.

Dont worry about the round thing on your current pump because if you have a fuel reg it will be okay anyway

Where's the dedication !!!? :P

As mentioned there would have to be a crossing of wires. The spark would take a fair amount more then 12v to jump from the + to the body. That said, i don't think normal heatshrink is fuel proof ... im sure it wouldn't hurt leaving em exposed.

well heres an update, the workshop installed the pump for me. and damn its loud. can hear it when turning the ignition to ON and when pressing the accelerator very loud inside and out. and whn on idle u can hear it humming inside the car only

is this normal? or have they not used a proper rubber mount on the bottom of the fuel pump??

its pretty loud and im not really happy

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
