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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
