Not positive but could be the fuel valve (in red on pic) , fits on the pump outlet hose inside the tank, you should see it when you pull your old on out. What did you buy and from where ? looks like a Skyline pump assembly.

completely different, although basic pump may be the same, which is all you needed, wiring is also diffferent. may be a challenge.

I ended up getting a SARD universal, direct drop-in replacement for the Stagea pump

well positive and negative is all the same regardless with wiring so that wont be hard to overcome shoudln't be to hard to get the pump into the stag bracket. so with any luck i will make it work. cant complain for $300 all up.

hey chook, i to have the sard fuel pump but i had some problems with its dual flow rates..the idol flow rate makes the stag have a flat spot on takking off from a standing start.. did u have this problem? the auto spark is going to earth the pump so it runs at 100 percent all the time

Hi guys, anyone installed a Walbro GSS342? It's 255LPH/500hp pretty similar spec's to bosch 040, and is also an in-tank pump... workshop recommended them over the Bosch; apparently the feedback they have had is that they are quieter than the 040 and very easy to fit. Just wondering if anyone's fitted one themselves to a series 2 stagea? How easy is it?

Sorry for waking up an old thread, but if you're fitting a 040 pump how much do you fuel-proof the wiring to the pump? Are the rubber boots enough. I notice the stock pump has the plugs, but no real protection against the fuel.

?

Did you find out anything in the end Ruby? I just got a 040 replacement for my 12-month-old Walbro (which died :rant:) and could do with some advice on how to get it into the bracket - it's frickin huge compared to the GSS-342 Walbro!

there is a photo on here somewhere of a 040 mounted on a stagea bracket . yeah its big but it fits well. i am not a fan of wallbros really . if something is smaller then it is doing more work and going to wear faster than something twice the size doing the same amount of work . and it would be twice as hard to make to the same standard so it should cost twice as much but it doesnt so yeah .

Hey that's interesting, thanks Lachlan. Didn't find that one! Just what I was after.

However ditching the cradle completely like that means no direct supply of fuel to the pump when the inch or two that's left in the bottom of the tank runs away during a corner... and I thought that pump had been designed to mount vertically? The pickup covers the whole end; so as the fuel level begins to drop a lot of it will become exposed...

Sold my 040 now but having a fuel pump die on you is still a little concerning... had a bit of a hassle starting it again tonight, after only about its 3rd real run since changing the pump. Not sure if it was still bleeding air out or I had bad fuel or what.

    • 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.
