I have the motor in and carbies ready to go. The mechanical pump of my L24 fits into the 260 but will this supply enough fuel, or do i need a holly blue & regulator. Is anyone else running a 260 or280 and what fuel set up are you using? Please send info.

Thanks for the generous offer ghostrider, I'm in Mandurah. Ph 08 95818997. 6.30 pm is a good time to ring. Again thanks Rick. I have a suspicion we're not in the same state, could be a long drive for a p/gauge.

Hey mate. I am running twin SU's on an L26 and my Peirburg electronic fuel pump is maintaining a steady PSI right through the rev range. While I am having plenty of other problems, the fuel pump isn't one of them.

Have also seen good results with the Japanese Toiko pumps or even the stock electronic fuel pump from the 280zx. Good luck with it.

Hi coupe72001 and thanks for the reply.

Just a couple more questions. With your Peirburg pump are you using a regulator or is it naturally about 6 psi, I've read that's about the optimum pressure.

Also do you have the mechanical pump still in the mix of things. ie tank--filter--elec pump--mech pump --regulator, carbs.

Finally does the Peirburg make much noise and is it like a holly blue meaning it has to be lower than tank or does it suck fuel rather than gravity feed. Sorry for so many questions but this is the last piece of the puzzle and currently I'm stumped regarding what setup to use. Thanks Ricky. One more thing, are you using the fuel return line?

Ok...

1. I had a regulator, but my fuel guy threw it out! Said it was unneccessary - which has probably proven to be true as the fuel PSI holds steady.

2. My electric fuel pump seemed to suck well, but to be on the safe side I mounted it below the fuel tank at the back of the car, so it is "pushing" rather than "sucking".

3. It's noisy as all hell, which is good because I know when it's broken and I like noisy cars anyway.

4. I am using the same fuel line setup as the stock setup... I think.

5. I threw out the stock fuel pump. Steal a block-off plate to cover the hole from an injected car without power-steering... (maybe a 280zx or an r30???) or buy a nice billet chrome one from ebay America.

Hope that helps. I can post a few pics of my carby setup if you'd like.

For the record can anyone confirm how many PSI of fuel flow would be needed to feed twin 2' SU's. I thought it was only 3-4.

I'd certainly like to see some pics if it ain't a problem, and you didn't mention wether or not your using the return line.

So if your not using a regulator your pump must be a low psi 3-4 pump, maybe I should look it up on the net. Again thanks Ric. I've tried to put pics on with thread but must be doin something wrong.

I've had SU's and Webbers on L series engines before and I've only ever used the standard mechanical pump which I have been told by numerous carby tuners is more than adequate and with no pressure reg required. Is a bit more farking around with a leccy one too.

Cheers, Vaughan.

Vaughan I believe your right in what you say as I've just finished reading about an hours worth of threads, mostly American. It seems plenty of people are running just mechanicals.

The only issue I have now and hopefully someone can tell me is, i had to use my L24s or C210 78 skyline mechanical pump as the 260 one was removed. I've been reading my workshop manwell and the L24 mechanical pump, pumps around the 80 ltrs per hour.

What I need to know is, is this close to what the 240z mechanical pump can do.

Yeh rick all will be good, I have interchanged L4 and L6 pumps from all versions and as far as I am aware they are all one and the same. Good old nissan interchangability.

Sweeeet, I think this is now confirmed and I'll lay it to rest, but of course i'll let you know how it goes in practise . Thanks for the confirmation and all registered threads, your help is a... well a big help.

Cheers Rick.

Thanks Coupe72001.How's it going now, do you get good performance out of it?Are your S.U.'s 1.75 or 2'' and are they H.S series. Do you run a return line to the tank? Sorry about so many questions, just interested as mine is still a while away from running.

On the dizzy thread I've asked what induction you use,that's been answered thanks. I've just had some parts sent from England for my S.U's, got them off ebay and it took 6 days for delivery.Pretty good i thought. Cheers Ricky.

Hey Rick,

They are 2 inch from a Rover (most likely) and they are now going like the clappers. I had a poke around and it doesn't look like I use my fuel return anymore! I had forgotten that I disconnected it way back when I first swapped the carbys. I don't know if they are HS series or not, but if you tell me what to look for Ill find out.

Good work getting the carby bits promptly from the UK. I am learning to love ebay UK and US for getting some of the hard-to-find parts.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
