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

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
