Just bought a new Bosch fuel pump and I was wondering if I should buy a new fuel strainer for in the tank?

What is the part number for a strainer for an R32 GTSt, how much and where would I buy one from?

Also what brand/part number do I need for a fuel filter?

Any help muchly appreciated! ;)

I'm not sure whether you will exactly need one...but only way to do it is a visual check.

Petrol is a very effective cleaner.. The pump and things in the tank looked shiny and brand new when I pulled it out.. and the filter sock looked good as new. Once you take it out you should be able to give it that bit of extra cleaning if it is required. I doubt you will need to replace it.

For fuel filter do a search on old threads.. part numbers are in there..

The fuel pump sock is a very coarse filter and as such does not get blocked with microscopic particles like the fuel filter does. All it needs to do is stop the larger bits going through the pump, which will screw it up. The pump can easily cope with the fine particles which would clog your injectors. That's what the fuel filter is for further down the line.

The only time you'd probably need to replace the sock is if it's damaged (ie, letting the big particles in). If it is clogged up with gunk then you should probably buy your fuel from a different place. And you should probably also clean your tank out.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
