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 ;)

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
