they're not the quiestest of fuel pumps but they do a decent job and the sound isnt that bad its just a buzzing sound.

I've got a Nismo pump in the GT-R, and it whirrs fair loud when you turn on the ignition, but yeah thats the only time I can hear mine.

I got it from www.nengun.com

Just checked the prices, one for your 34 is $331.30 delivered atm (good exchange rate)

High Flow Nismo Upgrade fuel Pump. 4.6 L/min( at P=294kPa,3.0kg/cm2), an increase of 125% compared to the standard pump.

I chose it because it's a straight swap for the stock pump, I think with the Bosch and Walbro's you have to modify the cradle it sits in?

modify the cradle yes, but it takes 15 min, and it flows a hell of a lot more..

what sort of dollars are you going to spend on the chase of kw's

I'll always be spending (its a skyline)! Looking at 250 kw at next upgrade, later down the track would like max of 300 kw.

then stick with the 044, get a aftermarket sock/filter from sprints of a 5ltr efi falcon, and rubber mount the 044 onto the stock cradle.

once installed you will never have to worry about fuel again until you go past 400 kws at the rears..

and it will sound the same as your stock pump.

I had an 040 in my S15 and it was noisy as a mofo - so much so I had it removed and put in a Walbro instead .... the 044 is even louder - a constant buzz - especially when the weather is warm, hence the fuel pump works harder for some reason.

I am fitting a Walbro 255lph and Malpassi fuel regulator in the next month or so - I have had them sitting in my garage for months ....

Got a 040 sitting right at the bottom of the fuel tank in the Stagea. Mod'd cradle etc to make it fit right down low, also got a direct wire feed from the battery. Very loud, like a commy I guess, but hey who gives a f#, with a Stagea and the seraphic glass windows and some *beats* you cant hear a horn let alone a pump, lol

Has anyone upgraded their fuel pump on their 34??

Nope but my exhaust is pretty loud

Steve at AMMAR did mine he built the brackets and mounts, did a quality job, you can listen to it next cruise

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
