i have a small alumimium radiator type thing i was going to use but not sure if its quite big enough.

The measurements are 250mm long 50mm wide and 50mm high, would that be enough.

PS unit has been pressure tested to 90psi is a hydrolic oil cooler in another life.

I have a bosch 044 mounted externally (in the boot, near the battery, R33), it feeds off a 2ltr surge tank that is feed by the std in-tank fuel pump.

I am just trying to grasp what you call normal and noisy. From day one my pump has consistanly been loud, where i can hear it even with a loud exhaust. Now my exhaust does not give me a headache or drown too badly, while crusing at 100, but is acceptably loud.

Also, how can you tell if your afr are leaning out? You mentioned surging, etc; is that like a slight hunt on idle, as mine intermitantly does this, but it usually gets worse when the headlights are on.

Well my pump played up tonight... I've suspected the pump for the last 6 months as its only been the last 6months I've been having the occasional surge feel off boost & light throttle. I've swapped out afms, ecu's, tps, ignitors everything. It recently came good after giving the ic pipe clamps a re-torque (coincidence).

Primed the car, fuel pump made its usual noise but its speed was fast slow fast slow. Cranked the car and it wouldn't kick. Gave it another crank and it spluttered in to life, drove down the road and it just died, no fuel pump noise. Sat for a second, cranked and drove and it appeared fine again.

I'm up for a new pump.

To4gtr, do the stock gtr pumps flow enough for 300rwkw maybe a touch more with 40psi base fuel pressure?

LOL in my limited experience all things electrical, i know that motors just dont heal themselves all that well, they either work or they dont ( not sure about the pump side of this but motor i reckon i know ) if the smoke gets out of the anything electrical they dont work very well after that.

If you dont mind me saying it sounds like you have loose conection some where for it to work and then stop and then work again, no fuse blown or such foul happenings ?

and if anyone can invent a way of putting the smoke back into any electrical equipment you will make a fortune.

FIXED!!!

I asked a mate of mine who had a 1j cresida and he played around with tranny coolers a while ago and had one sittin there which i scored for $20... Got 2.5 meters of fuel hose and mounted it up front.

The pump was allways warmish before and when it was making lots of noise it was very warm.. now after 1 hour and 30 minutes of driving the pump was COLD. cold..... interesting and it makes no loud noises at all anymore and the afr's are stable as hell.

I pulled up at the twin servo's on the freeway after 45 mins of doing 120ks an hour and it was very cold tonight and i felt the pump - cold. felt the fuel cooler and it was not as cold as the fuel pump was but it was not warm either... So i am guessing it is doing the job but it might need to be bigger.....

Weird thing is that i felt the fuel rail on the engine and it was cooler then fuel cooler at the front of the car.. I think i will leave it how it is for now and see how it goes in traffic on my normal working week this week...

So yeah im stoaked.. no more afr issues and a happy "cool" 044 pump not whinging at all! Cant complain for a $35 mod....

Here are some pics.. ignore the cable ties i will be fixing that up shortly :( ran outta time! i mounted one side properly i just gotta extend the bracket a little bit.

I tried to up the boost to 25psi and the coilpacks were dien on me so i taped up the new ones that i had purchased a few weeks ago and installed them and now every time it hits 25psi it was blowing the intercooler piping off EVERY time.. came off 4 times.. so i need to pull them all out and get them welded so they dont come out anymore! one thing after another!!

that's sick! how big is that mofo? that's massive!!

hehehehhehee yeah man i still cant believe that i got it on my fuel line :( its just really overkill if you ask me.. but it works so my pump is happy... pump is happy i am happy... hehee

well done mate going to have ago at this myself

cheers mate - remember put it on the return line so you put it after the regulator as it goes back to the tank.

lol Well you don't. :(

I've had 2 fuel pumps in the past go in a similiar fashion.

One in a VN commodore and another in a VL. Both began working again once given a little time to cool.

I should mention the second VN pump (aftermarket cheapo) simply just died; unlike the first oem pump that worked then showed signs of leanout then worked again once it cooled, it wasn't long until it just stopped working.

Also had a fuel pump die in a 318is BMW. That simply went from good to nothing. Dead.

and if anyone can invent a way of putting the smoke back into any electrical equipment you will make a fortune.

Hahhahahahahaa!!!! maybe you can run a little cooler to keep the smoke temp's down so there is less chances of the smoke getting out...

yeah well i been thinking about that one.. i might have to re-locate it somewhere else later on...

Good stuff - well sorted - however - just make sure you don't have a front end crash, break the cooler, fuel everywhere, flash and goodbye car and perhaps driver.

I'm going to state the obvious here & suggest you take very serious notice to the advice John from UAS gave in regards to where to mount the cooler. Do you think he went to the effort of placing it in a protected (relatively anyway) space & ran the ducting etc just for the fun of it????

BTW, nice work with the fix. Just move the cooler before it BBQ's you or someone else :(

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
