well the old wiring was just sh!t. and it was all Exposed and Uncovered. as u see it in the pic it was the same b4 i replaced the wires.

if ur worried about the wires its not hard to take the pump out and have a look. it only took me 10mins to pull the pump out

Just a tip for those who may not know....

MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TYPE OF FUEL HOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only reason i say this is my 040 was put in with the wrong type of hose and the bloody hose literally fell apart!!!!! Caused MASSIVE knock and shudder, luckily i got it fixed very soon after.

Cheers

cable ties are fine in the fuel. although i probably would've used some spliced fuel hose between the pump and the clamps to reduce the noise. thats what i did with my install:

you can see that ive put something in between any kind of metal and the pump. also made it sit lower so it doesnt get '1/4 tank syndrome'. which i think will happen to yours as you dont have the standard pick-up any more.

my fuel pump sits lower than where the standard pick-up did. i can run less fuel on a track day and not worry about '1/4 tank syndrome'.

why would u use anything else but fuel hose? if ur working on fuel pumps or fuel lines u always must use fuel hose....

Yeah there are diffferent types of fuel hose, some of which do not like being in the tank. My piece of hose delaminated, and the outer on the hose split away from the inner part. Not fun.

All im saying is make sure you get the right type of hose in there.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
