the best option if you are chasing just a lil more power with a good tune would b a walbro pump in tank direct replacment just make sure it aint a ebay on i got one of those a long tome ago lasted a 2 power runs

A lot of people say the walbro are shite etc etc but I've been using mine for months now. Made sure I got a genuine one and it was installed correctly. Real test is coming though with a PFC (finally thanks to Slide) on the way and aiming at 265rwkw.

Your fuel will not 'run out early' with a bigger pump as the pump does not control the fuel delivery but merely circulates it. As already mentioned you can run into the problem of heating up the fuel in the tank if too much fuel is being recirculated back to the fuel tank (like being stuck in traffic with a 044 or two). You could get slightly less economy if your engine was running lean due to a dying pump before it was replaced.

yer i connected it to the steel bracket but you have to be careful i got a hose the same size as the inlet glued it and zipped ties it to the small inlet the attached the filter to the bottom of the hose i only extended it about 7-10 cm hard to tell i was a while ago and im sure its at the tip now lol

I've heard that with the 040, because it doesn't have a pick up on it that you mount the pump as low as possible in the tank. But even so it won't be able to pick up as low as the stock pump and thus you'll come across running short of fuel before the tank is empty.

Has anyone here made an extension or pick up for the 040?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
