hehe, ben, wasn't saying you were being cheap matey :( just thought that maybe since you were doing it at night you didn't have enough.

Mine was installed when the tank was full. I didn't have to even put my hands in the fuel. Spent a bit over 1 hour to install it, no noise, no nothing. good flow. perfect.

I wouldn't stress too much about the orientation of the sock mate. My car, and others that I have installed, as well as many others that are running gtr pumps on the forums are alright.

This orientation fits the best with that bottom plate still in place. I'm not sure if this affects it, but my pump still has the bototm plate in place, and it is sitting on the gtst rubber ontop of this plate. i'm sure that would help hold the pump steady more. Maybe the orientation that I have it clears the tank.

It seems like you're spending a fair amount of time doing this. If you want, I can put you through to an honest workshop near our area that do an absolutely great job.

I know - northern beaches performance? Thats the place you were mentioning before?

Wouldnt you have trouble when you get low on fuel as the orientation ensures you pick up from the very bottom. That why you can run the tank very low before you have any fuel pickup issues.

Haven't spent too much time. Main wait was the tank seal. Just driving the car now with a noisy pump :D

I'd rather play around with it myself then I know what is done.

Hopefully the pump is ok and I can quieten it down.

Cheers..

How did you go with the pump, were you able to quieten it down?

I have a 32GTR pump in my 33 (there when bought it) and mine is also very noisy. I had no luck repositioning it in the tank, and still makes a lot of noise.

Can someone tell me, what would happen should the pump fail? Will the engine just stall, or is it possible to do more damage, ie. if on boost at the time, will it destroy the bottom end?

Well I just tested the pump for a couple of seconds without fuel. It sounds really quiet out of the car. (At first I had the hose connected and metal pipe connected - it was noisy then).

So I think it must be the way it is sitting in there.

My new pump GTR has about a 2mm thick rubber sleeve aroud it so I think Iwill leave that on and see if I can position it better. Anyone else got tips on which way to bend the bracket etc. Very fiddly job.

It is really tight in there. There seems hardly enough room to have any gap the whole way round the pump and the relief valve piece at the top. It seems inevitable that it will touch the tank. I'm thinking this might be the reason so many people complain of noisy pumps. WOnder if the sedan fuel tank is different

I see somebody mentioned they bent the cradle to the right to allow it to clear - was that when looking from above?

I did this and added a bit of rubber to test. It is a lot quieter but every now and then it makes some wierd noises. Maybe it doesn't touch all the time but every now and then part of the pump rests on the tank.

Will I dont think its moving but it does get a little louder when the car is warmed up and in traffic.

Anyone know if they bend the bracket to the right?

Also, how loud is yours? Mine is like a buzzing - it doesnt get noisier when I rev it though (compared to idle).

Maybe I'm being fussy though.

Should it be almost silent?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
