Hey all just thought id share my little experience with you....

To cut a long story short, got a workshop (supposedly a good one) to install a 33 gtr pump in my 33 gtst

I wasnt happy with the amount of racket it was making so i got a walbro one to put in myself

when i opened it up i was amazed at how shit the work was and also unsafe!

Picture 1 and 2: Both positive and negative wires insulation were ripped

and

Picture 3: The rubber seal had also been damaged

Picture 4: Cap was bashed off with a screwdriver or something that would damage it (cant u see its plastic so u shouldnt use metal!)

and last but not least they did not mount it on any sort of rubber just cable tied it to the cradle THATS WHY IT WAS SO f**kING NOISY!

sorry no pic for that.

/end of rant

If anyone wants to know the name of the workshop, pm me and i will tell you

my fuel pump was installed in a similiar manner.. but in addition to the above problems, they also neglected to put the fuel pump in the bracket, or put the sock back on the bottom of the hose.... ALSO.. part of the hose towards the top had disintergrated in the fuel tank leaving floating little white bits throughout my fuel! :D

$20 says it was the same place! PM SENT!

Should have a petrol resistant foam rubber sleeve and hose clamp/s to mount it. I've not seen ANY shop including autosparkies that wire things up neat. Kindergarten kids could usually do better!!

They usually use the biggest soldering iron they can find, two rolls of dodgey insulation tape per job, have five twist joins in a 500mm length of wire, and crimp all connectors with a hammer or sidecutters.

    • Not sure what you mean by electronic speedo drive.  Speedo reads fine up to 180 yes.
    • For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.
    • This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   😂 😂 
    • This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
