hi all,

just wanting to know what differences there may be between the nismo fuel pump and walbro fuel pump for a R33 GTST?

i see that i alot of members are using walbro fuel pumps but im curiuos to know is there a difference in they way they perform or is it just the fact that it says nismo thats why its so much more expensive?

walbro costs about 160, flows 255lph uses standard cradle, standard filter, standard wiring and requires about of soldering and mucking around to make it fit in the standard cradle, not bad if you get a genuine one but its probably worth paying the little extra for the bosch

tomei costs about 429,i think theres a few places that sell them cheaper in the 390s, flows 248lph, comes with its own cradle, wiring, and filter its simply pull in pull out, very reliable designed to run of the 12v instead of the 14v the walbro uses, i find it better than walbro i had but pretty pricey

hope that helps

You can also look at the HKS pump kit which I think is 240L/H. The Aus Distributor has them on sale until the end of the month for $400 I think. You can email them to find out at [email protected]

I thought the HKS fuel pump was closer to 250L/hour which is good for 550HP at the engine. Bonus of the HKS pump is that it comes as a BOLT IN kit with strainer and new fuel tank seal. I put one in my R34 a few years ago and haven't looked back since.

Here's a pic of the HKS kit.

Cheers

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
