Its better to upgrade your fuel pump!! A lot of people said skyline stock fuel pump does not provide enough fuel!!! many of my friends get the nismo upgrade fuel pump. Also if you're going to upgrade turbo or anything else, you don't have to worry about your fuel pump again!!

You may not NEED the extra fuel at the moment, but you will need it to get more power with a decent tune...

The nice thing about a new fuel pump is thats it new... It gives you peace of mind knowing that it has a better chance of not dying, therefore killing your pride and joy...

Fuel pumps can die, slow lingering deaths, slowing reducing the amount of petrol to your engine and therefore possibly damanging it at the same time...

I have a walbro 500hp in tank pump. Not hard to fit, I use the standard pick up point and it doesnt make lots of noise... It didnt cost the earth either, coming in at i think 160 delivered... There are definately better pumps though, like the NISMO and TOMEI pumps, but they are circa $450+ delivered (are a direct fit though, with no mucking round)

All depends on what you are after...mods are never ending...trust us...we all know that far too well...

First step...change the fuel pump...as mentioned...a 18 year old pump is as good as dead and i can almost guarantee that it will be leaning out under heavy load...

had that problem on my r32.

stock fuel pump was causing my car to run lean, replaced it with a GTR fuel pump and all good now :banana:

If the GTR pump is 18 years old then it might soon start suffering from the same problem...even though its rated to flow more...with the price of warlbro and bosch pumps nowadays its probably better to go that path...

yeah thats true, with the prices of bosch pumps today, better to get that instead of gtr pump. Once the gtr pump starts playing up, then ill upgrade :D

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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.
