Making A Better Fuel Pick Up In R32 Gtr Tanks

Dose any one know how the yellow plastic fuel pump holder is clipped in or held in the tank for a R32 GTR, I want to take it out to make better mounts on it to mount my aftermarket fuel pump in the tank. Or try and make a better pick up as I am getting fuel surge in right handers at Oran Park GP,

It seems to be clipped in some how and has a slight amount of movement all of 3mm where it's clipped in from but I can not find a release clip,

Don't want to push to hard on it as could be bit brittle from having over 15 years of fuel on it, and don't want to be fishing plastic bit out of my tank.

Or how do other people mount aftermarket fuel pumps in the tank?

I don't want to fit a surge tank in the boot as I need boot space when I take the car on holidays, hate listing to noisy fuel pumps from a surge tank, or fit a fuel cooler to keep fuel temp down when a surge tank it fitted. Just want to get the best possible use out of the standard set up with a bigger pump.

Any help would be great!

the clips are at the base they are about .5cm high and are on each side of the bracket right at the bottom. can be very stiff after all this time, but if you break them you will need a new bracket (otherwise it will float around the tank)

the standard fuel pump has a little arm with a sock filter on the end that goes right to the bottom of the tank. aftermarket like the bosch pumps dont normally have this but you might be able to refit the arm to the aftermarket ones

but really, the best way to stop the surge is just run a little more fuel (over 1/4 tank) Oran Park off the bridge is about the worst it gets.

i did a fuel pump installs on a few r32's and have realised that the 044 fuel pump with an earls fitting on the end of it seems like it was purposely fabricated for the r32 fuel tank and bracket. i mounted it on the standard bracket with no dramas at all, and sat around 5-7mm from the bottom of the tank.

this is what it looked like after getting it on, but this was on a gts-t, im not sure if its the same on a gtr:

pm r32woohoo as he supplied the fittings for his install.

the 044's have their own strainer, just like the 040's. if you have a look inside the pick-up there is a fine steel mesh.

Thats Duncan for your help, was able to get the whole mount out, mount the pump on there better played around and

got it as low as possible.

Also thanks Security for your help looks like the pick up is totaly differnat on GTS-T to GTR?

GTR pump mounts on the bottom of the tank in a little cradle surge pot.

Thanks again.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
