Change Fuel Pump For Compliance?

As the V35 coupe has no separate fuel filter, Ive been told that I have to replace the whole fuel pump as part of compliance. This alone is setting me back $700.

Just wondering if there is any way around this?

Thats a bit steep to change the fuel pump!

Yeah $700 is for the compliance workshop to get it direct from Japan.

I just rang the local nissan dealer. They want $1015 :O

part number 17040-CD400

Theres nothing wrong with my car. Its only done 26,000km.

The compliance workshop said it needs to get done - I guess according to DOTARS??? He said there is nothing he can do about it.

Basically every filter/fluid etc needs to be changed. And as the coupe doesnt have a separate fuel filter Ive been told the whole fuel pump needs to be changed to a new factory one.

F'king waste of a fuel pump and $$$ if you ask me.

Iam currently getting my car complianced i dont have to change fuel pump for my car... why what wrong with your how kms has it done ? thats is very expensive for a fuel pump ?

They are supposed to be replaced but since people wont pay the money as they just want cheap compliance till the filter goes (yes I know it's very rare), just did M35 Stagea and it was a shit of a job as it is in the fuel tank.

Guys, isn't the fuel filter in the V35 one that doesn't need replacing? Hence why they've put it in the tank.

I'm on my second V35 and this wan not mentioned in either.

I think the requirement is that all "consumable" filters be replaced. If the filter is designed to last the life of the car, the it shouldn't fall into the same category as say an oil filter, or air filter.

My opinion is don't do it.

Its just another wank of a job doatars have stipulated.If the evidence has been updated to include this now,its a joke.If it was there from the start then i suspect 99% of compliance centres wouldnt have bothered-thay cut costs wherever they can.

Tell them where to go,and get it done somewhere else.Thats the risk importing yourself-you havent the 'customer loyalty' that an importer would receive due to the larger volume of work they would bring.simple as that.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
