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

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
