always a good idea to have the support sytem before ramping up the power....

i've not seen a gtr one but like any other fuel pump should just be + and - up top....its quite simple take out the fuel assembly and remove old install new same way, use stainless C clamp to hold it...im not familiar with skylines but my 180 was really simple just take ur time and keep sparks away :P

When replacing the fuel pump with something like the GTR unit (on a gts-t) will anything else need to be changed/tuned? like the power signal from the battery, ECU etc..

Is it just replace and drive off?

Regards

Rob

another thing - take off the fuel pump fuse and give it a few cranks, usually helps reduce the amount of fuel spillage when u take off the fuel and return hose from the top of bracket....(spare clothes come in handy)

yep its in the trunk but not exactly like the 180's though, its right behind the rear seats, got this step thing like another level same as the 200sx u will see wat i mean....

if u decide to take off the neg. of battery then might as well reset ecu, press the brakes a few times after you pulled the plug.

ur question - if ur fpr (fuel pressure reg.) is in good order ur mileage shouldnt have any major changes though u will be running a lil more richer...

im sure jimx will be able to help ur more precisely as hes changed his to a bigass bosch item, ur will be easier though still probably require a bit of modding.

Sometimes the plastic screw top to the tank is hard to get off, but after you get it out, the GTR Pump will sit in the GTSt Pump cradle. As mentioned previously you will need hose clamps to hold it there. Make sure you put the pick up back in the right way, otherwise it will rest on the side of the tank and make a damn annoying sound. I bought an R32 GTR pump and I needed to cut some of the rubber on the cradle so that it fitted also. Not sure if an R33 GTR Pump requires this??

Should be pretty simple operation, plug in and drive off.. Shouldn't even have to adapt the fuel pickup like you would with an aftermarket pump. There is a thread recently where myself, JimX and Steve were discussing our installs - there is a few pics.

I don't think ignition is a huge concern, as the +ve battery terminal should have a nicely covered rubber cover. Just don't go making sparks hammering stuff or something.

Again, its discussed in other threads, but best method is to use a socket extender or something like this, and use a hammer to heavily tap the "jar" type arrangement counterclockwise (its a screw type thread) until it comes off. Then u can get to the pump pretty easily.. slot out bracket and it will all make sense.

Thanks for the info.

One more quick question, what type of power out put is safe for the standard gts-t's fuel pump?

If I am aiming at 200 rwk's will this be fine for the standard fuel pump (if it's in good health)?

Regards

Ps. What is the purpose of a fuel pressure regulator?

The standard GTS-t pump is capable of flowing up to around 220rwkw generally speaking. It depends on the dyno and the condition of the pump and the injectors, of course. It's not uncommon to get leaning out at under 200rwkw.

Disconnecting the battery is a bit of an overkill precaution I think. All of the wiring looms plug into the top of the fuel tank cap, which you need to disconnect before you even attempt to get the cap off anyway. If you want to disconnect the battery for this exercise, then make sure you disconnect both leads and remove the battery from the boot, because I reckon there'd be a bigger chance of accidentally zapping something if you just disconnected one lead and left the battery in place.

I'm pretty sure there is no voltage in those connectors with the ignition off regardless, so even if you did short something there nothing would happen until you went to start the car anyway.

I changed my GTS pump to a GTR V-spec pump, straight forward, only problem is getting that fiddly screw cap to thread back on. It was a direct swap, not sure what the talk about clamps is ??

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
