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!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
