hey all,

when i start my car well.. before i start it, i always turn the ignition to 'acessories' and let the fuel go through before i tick it over..

now i think its just becuase its cold in the morning, but it makes a moan/ groan of a noise when i hear the fuel going through..

just curious if its normal, or is it a sign i need a new pump.

its the factory 33 pump.

thanks

jake

Was the noise from the tank or the engine? It should make a buzzing noise, but not a moan as such. Low power may turn the buzz into a moan?....

First thing to do would be open the fuel tank one morning, then get someone to turn the car to ACC while you watch what happens and listen for the noise. Trouble is you only get 1 shot at this per day. Maybe its a hose leak.

nah i get the buzz noise as per usual, normal. im talking cold night or morning. like 5 degrees this morning.

kind of sounds like fuel going throgh the lines is struggling maybe beacuse the lines are really cold?

but more so the noise is from the front. It stops after the fuels makes it to the injectors or wherever it ends up like normal.

guessing an upgraded pump will bring the fuel to engine on start up quicker? not a skyline issue either cause ive had it with my old commodore

nothing wrong with the car or anything else, no noticeable signs, just an anoyoing noise for a few secs (ONLY WHEN REALLY COLD)

yeah when i click to accesories in the morning.

I hear a high pitch noise and then get a low moan/grumble near the front passenger footwell only for like a second.

I park my car on a steep hill overnight so maybe its causing more work?

Would it be fuel pump?

My car is running a bit lean which could be due to old fuel pump

Hey guys,

My fuel pump used to make the groan every now and then.

My car was running consistently lean throughout the rev range so i replaced it with a gtr pump last weekend.

Now it just makes the nice quiet buzzing noise. Havent dynoed it again yet so we'll have to wait and see whether it fixed the fueling problem.

I think the groaning probably means your pump is on its way out (maybe its the bearings or seals wearing away)?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
