Just trying to tweak the position of my GTR pump so it doesnt sound like a hive of bees.

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.

Is it just a matter of bending the bracket and hopefully leaving like 1 or 2mm around the pump - though it could rock back and forth that much!

I have rotated the pump and tried to bend the bracket a bit.

Anyone have any trade secrets??!

Thanks silverbullet - so it is possible :turned:

I have a sedan - I wonder if the tank is the same.

Here is a pic. DO you have any pics of yours in the tank silver? I can slot it in ok just seems like it will definately interfere with the tank somewhere.

PS> Phot was taken before I slotted the bracket right in.

ALSO - Other question regarding hose clamps on the 8mm Fuel line. The clamps I got are new versions of the factory screw up clamps. However even if I tighten them right up you can still rotate the hose by hand on the fitting if you turn fairly had. I thought they would clamp with more pressure - Is this normal though. The clamps I used were similar but not quite as robust looking as the one pictured

I actually ended up taking the hose clamp off mine, as it created more problems that it was worth. Ive found that if its slotted into the bracket properly, the hose and the bottom part of the bracket holds the pump in fine. I opened it up about 2 weeks ago. after its been in for a few months, and it hasn't moved at all.

And no I dont have a pic of it sorry.

So you didn't even cable tie it? I cut off the base of the bracket. Did you? I might just cable tie the pump. The hose clamp is a bit of a pain.

Do you have much trouble getting the lid back on with the seal in there?

My new seal is busted now. Was swollen as soon as I oopened it. It might be because there was a hole in a fuel line that could have let some air in I guess??

hey this is your other one.

I thought u probably got it sorted?.

No, see I didnt cut off the bottom. You are probably going to have to use the hoseclamp now to be safe. You will just need to re-position the clamp a few times, till it allows you to slot it in properly.

if u can get ur hands on another cradle cheap. from a wrecked R33. just use that. just modify the rubber at the bottom a bit. the pump will sit in the cradle on a bit of a slant, but it will work fine, and no need for clamps :turned:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
