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 ;)

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
