Hey guys

I just received my nismo fuel pump from nengun and am wondering if i should install the little fuel relief valve thingy ,its says on the nissan box "A VALVE CUT" , im not sure exactly what it is and what it does but im wondering if i should install it or keep the stock one, if i need to install it were does it go?

I need to get this pump in tonight so if anyone could please reply to this thread and let me know if i should use it or not that would be great.

Thanks alot

Jason

Not 100% sure but the guy who did the DIY thread on the Tomei pump had the same valve and i believe he didn't bother.

Apart from pump brand, the kit is similar to yours and has the same parts.

last i was there, it was lurking in the first page of the DIYs

How much was it?

'98 R33, nice one brother !

Hey mate

Yea i saw that DIY thread and the guy didnt bother installing that valve, but it must come in the kit for a reason, i dont think they would put it in there for nothing, anyway i will start doing the pump tonight and if i can see were that valve goes (Im guessing its just a replacement for the stock valve) i will put it in, but if i cant find were it goes i guess i will just leave it out, unless someone can tell me if it need to go in and were.

It cost me $420 nzd shipping if i can remember right, i choose it over the usual bosh/walboro setup as its a straight no hassel bolt in setup.

Cheers :blush:.

I think i remember seeing them installed between the pump and the screw-top for the tank..ie just above the pump itself if anywhere.

I just ordered the Tomei pump today too for the same reason as you.

Well, actually the main reason is the no noise factor.

It will run completely silent due to the ready made bracket and rubber housing.

Looking forward to putting mine in too :laugh:

I installed it on mine, it worked for approx. 30km then I pulled it off the road to do more stuff to the turbo etc.

I think/thought it was a non return valve to stop your fuel line from draining back into your tank but when I blew into it it didn't do anything so FIIK. I thought it would valve off and on if I blew into it??? I had to put it on line on a bit of fuel hose.

Hmmm its interesting to see that some people have used it and some havnt, in my opinion the "relief valve" must come with the pump for some reason surely, it would seem strange to me if it didnt have much of a purpose.

Also the valve has a threaded end (it is a male thread, the thread is on the outisde) on the bottom of it like it is meant to screw onto something which i thought was a bit strange, maybe it will all make sense once i pull out my stock pump.

I bought a Nismo pump and I never used the pressure relief valve either (partly cos i couldn't figure out where to install it). I had the same questions about why they would include it if it wasn't *really* necessary.

From what I could find out, and as mentioned, it is installed to prevent the fuel from draining out of the lines. But, I guess that what your fpr is meant for too. The only other thing I could think of is that it would slow the draining of the fuel lines when the engine is not running?

Ok, what that valve is, is it's an anti reversion valve. What it means, is that when you turn off the car, the fuel line stays pressurised. If you don't have one, then you'll have to turn your car to on, let the pump prime, then start it. Otherwise, you'll need to press the gas a bit or it won't start.

The stock setup actually has one of those valves already. I suppose the reason why they supply you wiht a new valve, is because they expect that you'll be running more pressure/flow with the new pump, so maybe the new valve is better at handling that. Having said that I have used the stock valve, and haven't had any problems.

However, as it's there, I don't see why you would not use it? lol.it's just like howit comes with a new gasket, would you consider using your old one? What will you otherwise do wth the new one? sell it? lol

oh ok, that's interesting food for thought jase. I know that nissan is renowned for part sharing (all car manufacturers are). Just a guess, since s14 injectors and r33 injectors are the same. If the part numbers are the same, maybe that means that nissan went lazy and reused the exact cradle on both cars :P

who knows, all that I can say, is in regards to the valve, if I got a nice shiny new valve, i'd be like you beauty and pop it in anyways :O

Well ive just finished installing the pump :), was rather easy, only main problems i had were, took a while to actually find the right spot that the pump bracket mounts to as you cant really see into the tank so i had to just go by feel, took me a while but once its in the right spot you will feel it click into place, 2nd problem was trying get the dahm plactic screw on cap to go back on, in the end i got it on but that also took a while. those two things were the only main problems.

Now to the "relief valve",i decided to use it as it obviously came with the pump for a reason, so i followed the instructions/diagram on the instruction sheet which showed that you have to cut the standard "pump to feed line" at 260mm , this is then were you put the "relief valve", this is obviously why 2 new nismo clamps come with this kit as you need a clamp on each ends of the hose for the relief valve , i couldnt find anywere that the relief valve would screw into (remeber that it has a little thread on the end of it), so it is just hanging in there , this is most likley why nismo give you a specific measurement as to were to cut the fuel line, possibly so that it wont hit the inside of the fuel tank etc etc, i had a good look/feel around and the relief valve was far from hitting anything).

So to sum it all up it was a very easy install ,the car runs like stock and you cant hear any difference at all, i would reccomend this pump to everyone :), I would chose this pump over the usual walboro/bosch/gtr fuel pumps anyday, for a little bit of extra money your getting a pump that is hassel free to install and comes with everything you need, no mods required!

As a matter of interest, how muhc was it, and where did you order it from?

I know that the tomei pumps also come with the anti reversion valve, new tank seal, hose clamps, pump, and bracket.

Did the nismo pump also come with the bracket/cradle? or did it fit the stock bracket?

would you by any chance have taken a picture?

The nismo comes with the bracket, it would fit the stock bracket if required, but its not needed, the bracket supplied is exactly the same as the std one. I had a walbro on mine, and changed to a nismo, I sold the walbro with the bracket and all as a going concern. Ooh and I got mine from Nengun, can't remember how much, I think around $350.

Just checked, now $386 delivered.

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
