Success Of R32gtr Fuel Pump In R33gtst

[benl1981]

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

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

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.
