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...

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
