G'day guys. I thought i'd save me some cash and install my 040 fuel pump myself. Now i searched in the tutorial section and was going by this tute: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...75&hl=bosch and all seemed to be going ok.

As i started to pull the hoses off (as per the tute) i got the top hose off, which only dribbled a little fuel, then i proceeded to take the bottom hose off (which is circled in red in the attached pic) and it started to absolutely piss out fuel. Is there something i have done wrong? In the tute it says the hoses should only leak a little, but this hose was pouring fuel out and i had to reattach it.

Any help would be appreciated as i dont want to put it all back together only to find out it was something simple. AND i dont want to have to pay someone to do it!

Heres the pic:

I hope that tank is not the same as my series 2 R33 GTR. If it is the pump wont fit. I got a shock when I pulled out the pickup assemly to find that it was nothing like the pictures of the 040 being fitted to a series one GTST. You have a plastic screw on cap like mine, not a screw on plate.

i loosen the cap before i remove any of the lines. when fuel comes out i just let the sucker drain back into the tank. you may cop a face full though so be careful.

also, youve got some ugly looking wiring jobbie in your boot, clean it up before letting fuel all over the place.

Agreed, that wiring is horrible! =-o

Disconnect battery.

I saw a few steps of a R32 GTR replacement fuel pump when my mate did his.

From memory, he went under the car and hose-clamped off the fuel line (the high-pressure outlet one. Return shouldn't be too bad) where the line changes to rubber pipe for a bend.

That might save a lot of fuel flying back out in yer eye!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I ended up just taking the fuel pump fuse out and turning the engine over a few times. There was still some fuel spilling out but it wasnt too bad.

It was a bit of a mission getting it in but it ended up fitting.

And i agree with you guys, that wiring IS horrible, thankfully its not from my car, its a pic from the tutorial that i used as an example!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
