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!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
