Hey there

Just sourced a R32GTR fuel pump for my R33GTST. Aiming for around 220-230rwkw so better to upgrade from the stocker.

The pump is supposedly only about 5-10,000kms old. This may or may not be true as I didn't see a receipt for it. I did ring Nissan and they just quoted me $880 for a new one, so the bloke that bought it new either shelled out a shtload or was telling porky pies or had a cheaper source than Nissan Sydney.

What I am wondering is if anyone has any idea on how long these pumps are good for? I know it comes down to a lot of variables..

It appears that the body of it is in very good condition and you can read the writing on it very easily. Is this a sign that the pump is farly new? Would a 15y.o. pump be visibly arnished by the petrol?

Will be installing it soon and will see how it goes but was keen to hear from others that have put R32GTR pumps on their R33GTST's

Thanks!!

Installed an R32GTR standard fuel pump into an R32GTST in 1999 and it is still going strong (185,000 ks).

Installed a used R32GTR standard fuel pump into an R32GTR in 2000 and it is still going strong (80,000 ks).

Installed a used Z32 (same as R32GTR) fuel pump into an R32GTST race car in 2002 and it is still going strong. Now used as a lift pump.

Installed a used R32GTR standard fuel pump into an R33GTST in 2006 and it is still going strong (30,000 ks).

and a few more...........

:( cheers :laugh:

Thanks Sydneykid.

I was just concerned that I may blow the motor if the pump fails..

Hope for the best I guess. But if you have trusted them (even though they are old) I feel a little better :P

Cheers

Hi Ben, if the pump fails, the engine stops, no damage there. They usually start to make noises before they die completely. If you are using a standard computer, then the knock mapping will save your ass. If you are using a Power FC, the knock warning will flash on the dash. Not a lot of risk there.

So this should apply to any fuel pump? If so why do people keep banging on about risking your engine with Walboros?

i think the biggest risk is when the fuel pump cant keep up or progessively failing. if its just instantly custs out it should stall, but if its progressively flowing less and less you will lean out and then go bang.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
