Bigger lines are usually for carbie-fed cars - ie those without any fuel pressure. With the hammer down on a carb'd car you can quickly empty out a 3/8" fuel line which is why many big HP carb'd cars run 1/2" lines or even bigger. But as Steve said, I've never heard of 600hp or even higher fuel injected cars needing bigger lines.

There was a 1000 hp GTR on Prestige Motorsport's mailing list recently and there is no mention of bigger fuel lines, just 2 044 pumps and 1000cc injectors. It's possible that he's running 2 fuel lines, or maybe the "HKS fuel delivery" is a bigger fuel line, but it's not very specific.

I got some prices today from Repco Autoparts.

Bosch 910 (200L/hr) = $382.99

Bosch 975 (228L/hr) = $517.99

Bosch 984 (228L/hr) = $506.99

Bosch 044 (330L/hr) = $1113.99

I'm looking for an intank pump that can handle ~285rwkw (~200L/hr). I can order a Nismo 17042-RRS40 (246L/hr) delivered from www.greenline.jp for ~$370.

Can anyone suggest some places where I can find these pumps cheaper? As im looking to buy/fit 1 like asap.

Tony, do UAS re-use the old bracket or do they make their own up? And is that $440 installed and including extra fittings? If so that's a very good price for the pump, if you minus 1 hour's labour and ~$50 of fittings.

I'm seriously thinking of making my own bracket, and then give the plans out to anyone else interested in fitting a Bosch pump. I just need some motivation on the weekend, at a time where my fuel gauge is below the empty line.

woa! and to think people wouldn't part with $200 for my perfectly good 910.. silly people. Ended up giving up and just installing it myself :)

I have heard you can get the 910 for under $250 new, but this seems to be "I can get for $xxx, i give you $xxx for your pump".. not sure of the details of exactly where these people were talking about or whether they were full of crap.

The 910 is a 1-2 hour job, which might save you $200 in labour costs. It might be all you need depending on your HP goals. Its an easy job trust me - i'm not an expert.. but worked it all out fine. ..this is basically the install of the 910..its that easy:

044 seems to be a bit more involved, mainly because of the size of the friggin thing...

So the 910 fits straight into the standard bracket im assuming?

What extra parts are needed to make it all "work" ? From what I can see it looks like i'll just need a large clamp to fix it to the standard bracket ? and then connect all the standard parts back to it?

I want to get it all done and hooked up (will pay some if i have to) but at the momemt im getting no where.

Its not a straight fit, but with a hose clamp (as shown) it will be held very tightly into position. The only slightly difficult part was just figuring out a way to get the sock/filter back onto the new pump with the different size connector. I used 2x small hose clamps and a small bit of hose (as shown) to overcome that. After that you just slot the bracket back in, manouver it into place and put it all back together.

Maybe I should right a tutorial? although i think i saw one out there actually...

This thread goes into more detail of how to actually get into the tank.... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=18776

p.s. JimX.. hehe.. i love that site. Just having some fun with Horus here in melb :) If you met him you might spot the likeness..hehe

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
