Ok, well i just took apart most of my boot lining to find the cover to the fuel pump. I pulled it of and it looks fair confusing for a person like me.

Anyone willing to help me install and look out for this "sludge" everyone keeps on talking about? Plus, if there were signs of this sludge, would i have to

replace my fuel lines and fuel filters??

I'd say the sludge would most definitely be related to a bad batch of fuel as I've owned my R32 since 2001 and recently dropped an 044 intank. The tank was 100% clean an the cars now done a little over 260,000km's in total.

I've only ever ran BP with the occasional tank of Mobil and recently Shell as its only 10c more compared to BP of which seems to charge 13c more :thumbsup:

044 intank Joel nice work.

you planning on making some more power soon or just a preventitive measure?

Ahh the 044 was fitted quite some time ago.. When I first mentioned I was having troubles as you may remember

I think 6 odd months ago? Cars done hardly any km's since then as I bus it in to work these days. Only driving it does is on the weekends so I can justify a bit of a lumpy idle and bad fuel economy.

The cams are ever so slightly larger than what your currently running.

Are you still thinking about WMI? I wouldn't mind getting a kit on before the next dyno day of which should be a reasonable turn out with some decent cars. Would be nice to crack 1rwkw more than what you did last dyno day. :thumbsup:

You really dont want to push too much more than 260rwkw out of a walbro.

Dangerman 4 will justify this and if you are aiming for more then you will want to look at an 044 which will safely push over 300 rwkw.

Ok. Well after nervously looking at the instructions on how to install the fuel pump tonight, i decided to do it. Yes it was easy to install and yes you do smell like petrol after.

Infact after a while with the petrol tank lid open, the missus told me i was speaking real fast lol XD but yeah i got a headache after a while...

I took her for a spin and yes it does run good now =) Even better then before.

Ps. I pulled out my old fuel pump to find it was a Bosch unit. How do i tell what model it is... It has a serial number of some kind which ends in 040... and also has a speed flow fitting.

Thanks Madaz. To be honest that was my first time installing anything on a car of that magnitude. I thought it was brave of me to throw my hands into the tank of petrol lol! But

it was worth it. I also found out that i have a GTR fuel tank... which was random.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
