Looking into fuel pumps at the moment. Have had quite a few quotes so far...

All the nismo, Tomei etc etc fuel pumps are all around the high $400 mark...

Sard slightly cheaper...

And then Bosch and Walbro around the $200 mark...

Would they be ok for around 300kws in a R33 GTR?

It will be a DIY so i know nismo would be the easiest to put in but for half the price its worth a bit of mucking around...

any ideas?

Or any one used these pumps, pros cons?

Have searched and had mixed results from all those pumps!!!

Or if anyone can get them cheaper or know where i could get them cheaper???

cheers

Personally i'd go Nismo or HKS. It's a little more but it's much easier to work with. Bosch are good (i have the 040, no complaints) but in R33's at least, can't reach the bottom of the tank and aren't as reliable on hard cornering, but i just don't dry the tank out so isn't an issue.

Also there's no cradle modifying with these drop in pumps. If you REALLY want to save money go Bosch/Tomei, but on a GTR especially you want something reliable and for an extra $200 you're getting an easier job and less to worry about down the track.

You won't save much money buying the Tomei when It's around the same price as Nismo and HKS

So many threads bout pumps, im getting dizzy :)

Its not that hard.

If you don't want to fiddle, cant use hand tools and want a solution you prolly wont have to think about… ever again, then slap ½ a G on a Nismo bolt in – Done, so simple, you'll forget which pump you have when asked.

If you live to tweak, can use hand tools, and don't mind playing around with things, then go the non bolt in option, and stick in your [iNSERT PUMP MODEL HERE] in tank.

The pump has NOTHING to do with G forces, fuel gauge etc blah blah. Clearly one needs to mount the pick up sock in the same location as factory… to get the same factory result. This means not using 2nd hand hay twine to tie the pump half way up the cradle support. It means thinking about line flex, material, line runs etc, as to not impact other systems.

/end rant haha :(

Me, if I fitted a bosch, I'd weld up a frame that the bosch would sit in just like a std pump, then I'd get the frame bright zinc coated so it wouldn't rust etc then I'd be half happy---------but this would cost as much as a nismo in the end and be a bit more mucking about------------and don't tell me I'm overdoing it, I've fought my pedanticism all my life and lost every time.

If I didn't do it like that I'd be going down the road saying 'Yeah, I got a bosch, but I'm going to take it out and fix it up soon!!!' and would always be nagging/noring away at me until I did.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
