mine is sorta resting on the bottom of the tank which makes it louder, when the fuel gets hot on a hot day you can really hear it outside the car, buzzing its ass off. it'll be fine mate. FWIW the walbro pumps are quieter but who cares when you got a decent exhaust anyway

it is pretty loud, but not unbearable.

yea they are supposedly rated to 400hp. they are only loud when priming, and i can only just hear it on idle when i blip the throttle when the stereo is off.

but overall it gives great bang for buck.

5/5

but 3/5 for its power capability

Ive had issues with mine, and am taking it back to the workshop to try a different pump as i have had starting issues ever since installing the 040. it holds fuel pressure fine though and has no trouble holding sub 12 afr's on full boost, but starting the car sometimes sucks!

If i can only 'just' hear it at idle i can live with that. Anything more though and i'd probably get pissd.

Hey! I hope i don't get starting issues. My mate has one and recommends it, never had starting issues. Did you install it yourself and stuff it up? Hehe

I got one for my R32 GTR, but swapped it and another $200 for a sard. The 040 didnt fit into the nicely engineered cradle, so i would have lost fuel pickup depth and sound/vibration isolation if i had used it. The car already surges on 1/4 tank at the track... For GTS-T YMMV.

Bought it today from CRD. Will be fitting it over the weekend. I'll post comments if anything interesting happens.

I agree with you, the gtst will never surge like a GTR so i think it should be fine. Plus my car won't see the track that much.

The nismo 275lph pump comes with its own cradle and touches the very bottom of the tank.

It shits all over any bosch.

Oh, and its quiet - I can't hear it at all.

You're right but for half the price i think it's a good compromise.

na didn't install myself had it done professionally by a workshop then checked by another workshop as i was sceptical of the install and they have said it was installed fine

Ok dude, you're a mix between paranoid and OCD. :P

Nismo bolt ins, are for gurls :banana: lol

For the cost of em, you'd want them to be quiet (undoubtedly they use a fuel resistant insulation, like factory)

Lol. I'll agree with that one, only cause it makes me look tougher ;)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
