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?

any info please, even if there are links which i couldnt find

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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
