ok well this is my second attempt at getting the walbro pump to work...

first time some random elec prob wouldnt allow anything on the car to work i thought it was the pump it wasnt but i put the stock pump back in.

this time the pump primes makes all its noises but its not pumping any fuel, put the stock pump in... no probs, fuels easy.

i havent soldiered anything, ive crimped on connecters to the walbro wires and then used the screw from the original pump and wires and screwed them together, (my soldering skills are VERY limited)

is the connection super pathetic that it wont pick up fuel ? theres a bit over a quarter of a tank and the pump is well inside the cradle.

your thoughts please.

no flaming, i no im shit at this sort of thing.

dangerman you seem to be correct.

ive just read on NS.com that the readings on the pump are the wrong way around. hence the pump primes but wont pump.

im yet to actually check mine but it was brought from the same seller so i assume its the same......

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
