Hey people

Ill be getting a second hand r33 gtr fuel pump for $100. A few questions regarding the fuel pump are is it different from an r32 gtr fuel pump (i dont want to get an r32 gtr fuel pump thinking its an r33 gtr fuel pump)? How can i identify that its an r33 gtr fuel pump?

Also what should i do to it before installing it (such as changing the sock thing etc) and is it a direct bolt on?

Thanks.

hey dude, I thought all the gtr's were the same apart from the 34 mayb they arnt, apart from fitting I have herd they are a c#n* to get into the standard pump cradle but it can be done and worth it in the end! Good luck buddy

Hi , Doughboy here sold me an R33 GTR complete drop in fuel pump assembly and it replaces the R33 GTST's one entirely , literally one out one in .

One thing you'll notice is the slightly elevated pump noise but it's not a biggie . I get the feeling that R33 GTRs used a different fuel pump voltage control unit so they may have dropped the voltage a bit lower than R33 GTST's one does at light loads . In my car the pump rises to full voltage at very small throttle openings .

Cheers A .

Hey thanks for the replies

when you say assembly, did you mean the whole bracket thing? I think im just getting the pump but i dont know. If i dont get the assembly will i have to modify mine or does it come as one piece? Also did you replace any parts on it?

thanks

hey

im lookin for an r33 gtr complete to drop in and was wondering the same thing? are there any differences between 32 and 33 gtr?

if u buy a complete r33 gtr pump, is it a complete drop in/change over, no hassles?

is the standard gtst pump voltage alright?

anyone got pics of the 2 just to see the difference??

cheers

I didn't take pics at the time and don't quote me but I think the R33 GTR pump sits lower on the bracket than the 33GTS25T one does - did it a while ago .

I know someone that fitted an R32GTR pump into an R33 GTS25T and it was a bit more fiddly to make work .

If I was doing it again I'd def get the whole R33 GTR assembly and fit it to the std R33 GTS25T fueltank .

Cheers A .

R33 GTR pump in a gtst is good.

Can't say much about it seeing as mine was fitted by a mechanic, but i had the stock pump, a bosch 040 and now the gtr pump in my r33 gtst. I'd say it has the power capacity similar to the 040, but it's probably more reliable.

It also sounds good, whirring away, compared to the other two pumps. If you stick your head under the car it sounds really noisy though, it's a big buzzing sound.

But try get the whole assembly if you can, beats stuffing around trying to fit it.

If you don't have a better option i'd recommend this mod.

There are much better pump options these days.

exactly!!..

why waste $100 on a 25yr old pump with god knows how many kms on it when for a 150-200$ you can get a brand new walbro or something that will outperform it...

GTR pumps aren't worth 20$ these days...

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
