I agree about cutting off the tabs. I do that too.

You can use hose clamps mate. I have 2 hose clamps on the pump in my car.

I'm pretty sure that the wire on the side of the pump isn't for dual stage. It is just a ground. The reason I know this, is 32,33 and 34 pumps all have that extra side ground.

I didn't install the side ground for my car, and I do get the 2 stage. On idle, it's soft. If I blip the throttle, it goes louder.

Cheers

Well Ive been having issues.

The gtr pump is a bit of a fiddle to get into the GTST.

You have to be careful with how your rotate the body of the pump. The GTR pump has a piece at the top (not sure what it is) Maybe a relief valve or something.

This fouls on the tank if rotated incorrectly.

See fouling on pic..pump couldn't go all the way down

Also when you take the sock off the GTST pump you cant use the post and lock washer as you need to rotate it to the same orientation.

Chris did you find the same problem? When you push it on hard it seems to hold pretty tight. Hopefully this is ok.

OLD PUMP

I still haven't been able to test it as I need a new tank seal as mine is rooted.

So for me it wasn't a 2 hour job :D

NEW/2nd hand GTR PUMP

Mine was different again. the R34GTR pump is fatter, cased in Rubber and is Black in color. Im also having issues, As also I cannot get it all the way down. AS the pumps casing has also its own Hose clamp on it. which is in a position that it fouls the side of the tank also, and I cannot just turn the clamp around as the clamp has 2 teeth on the far side of the clamp which earths to the middle of the pump. Wondering if i should just remove the pumps casing clamp altogether, but this earth will no longer attach..

Mine didnt have that Weird thing on top of the pump near the Terminals like yours does ben.

hang on ben. I'm a bit confused. did you cut the bottom of your bracket off?

When I installed my gtr pump, you know that metal pipe up the top? I had to cut that up (so I used to next nipple to clamp the hose). The pump was significantly taller.

that way, I could still have the pump sitting on rubber, sitting on that bottom part of the bracket. That's why I was asking if you had cut the bottom off yours

Yeah I cut the bottom of the bracket off.

When you rotate the body of the pump so that the sock will angle the correct way the bit at the top fouls on the tank. SO I rotated the pump so it doesnt foul but then I can't use the locating post for the sock.

Was wondering how you did yours.

I cut some of the pipe you are talking about also.. so that it sat on the next bead..

Well I got it all the way down now. My +ve terminal is next to the bracket I think. When you swapped over the sock it would be the wrong orientation if you used the locating post..did you just push it on as tight as possible and not use the locating post and locking star washer?

Edited by benl1981

I have mine attached still using the bottom part of the bracket. For me, cutting the top pipe was enough. I have the sock clipped on.

I did it when the tank was full, so couldn't see how far down it went, but it felt the same as when i had taken it out.

Are you sure it's not all the way down? is that how it was when you took it out? if it's fouling, give the bracket a bit of a bend.

Well I guess that makes sense then. Do you have problems with when you get really low on fuel i.e. it not picking up the last 5-10 litres?

Oh, you didn't use the post either is that what you mean?

I don't see it as a major problem but thought maybe I hadn't lined something up right.

Haha, ok, what i did, is you could say the sock faces the wrong way. i did use the clip. Basically, the sock still points down, just slightly backwards. When I stuck it down into the tank, it still sticks down to the lower part of the tank anyways. No problem with low fuel (having said that, I normally fill up at about a quarter tank - I don't go down to the empty light. but even the empty line is fine on my car).

If you want the sock the right way, and use the clip, you could just bend the bracket out slightly, or space the pump out a bit with some efi hose. From the looks of your thing, even a couple mm would help it clear. But I don't think it'll come off even without the clip.

I can't believe that you cut the bottom of your backet off. There's enough room after you just trim the top barb back a bit. lol. I like that part, because from a mechanical point of view, imo, it would stop the pump sliding down. If I was you, I'd add another hose clamp on (yes I know it's clamped to the hose above). Like I said, I like things perfect, and i am anal.

Well if you leave the bottom piece for the pump to still sit on it it has to be spaced out from the main assembly that I was hose clamping it to. So I just chopped the bugger off.

1 hose clamp will do..as you say the hoses are holding it and the clamp. There is no real load on it. Maybe some vibration from the unit but 2 is overkill. 1 in the middle of the 2 ridges on the pump is good for me...

My tank seal was a bit split and when I tried to put it back in its become all mangled. The petrol has deteriorated it and made it all tacky etc. the car is almost 14 years old now!! And I'm going to be pushing it to make as much power or more than a new 6L v8 hahah

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
