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.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
