to all of those people supporting the 255lph walboro pump - they are shit. You need to get the Walboro 255lhp HP version. The high pressure version handles pressure a lot better than the standard 255 one. The standard one is for a NA car.

And I Don't care what you all say - I have one, and I have seen what they do. As soon as you up the boost beyond 10psi, you are playing with fire. The pump can't handle pressures above 50psi very well at all.

Standard fuel rail pressure - 42psi + Boost (10psi) = 52psi.

As soon as this pump reaches 55psi - 60psi, the flow drops dramatically.

Have a look at the Blue line on this flow chart -

I picked up a brand new genuine Bosch 044 pump off ebay for $204.50 + delivery. Going to mount it externally in the boot and draw through the standard intank pump which my mechanic assures me is fine.

So are you saying my mechanic is a liar? personally I would take his word over some random on the internet - no offence :)

Does your mechanic deal with much performance stuff? When it comes to performance some mechanics dont know there arse from their elbow, all they know is servicing etc etc standard stuff.

Talk to a performance workshop or fuel systems shop. Theyll tell you the same thing.

He has a 10 sec RB30DETT powered VH that he built himself, does that qualify? I also went to school with him and he is a very close friend :)

I had the same thoughts as you when he first told me to mount it externally, he assures me it will be fine. Either way, he's putting it in so if it doesn't work he can redo it .

I dont understand why people insist on fitting fuel pumps in the boot, its illegal for a reason, people do die from cars catching on fire. Ever wonder why there isnt one car that is complied that has the fuel pump in the boot?

its because the mechanic is lazy...... simple as that.

Hey champ,

16 is not really a good air/fuel ratio! in fact thats really really lean. I would suggest a fuel filter change, injector clean, and possibly a fuel pressure reg and DEFINATELY a fuel pump. There are a few around 040 bosch, walbro or nismo or gt0r pumps. it really depends what your power goal is. A re-map of your ecu or a piggyback fuel computer like a SAFC1/2 or a Neo will help harness those ponies.

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
