I just bought the bosch 910 fuel pump to go onto my R32gtst, Man its alot bigger than the stock one. How did you guys attach the strainer on the bottom to the new bosch fuel pump and how do you connect the top hose from the fuel pump to the existing pipe.

anyone got any pics of their install? someone told me i have to buy some earls fittings. True?

Has anyone done this before coz i need a hand hehe..

Thanks guys!

i gotta put mine in soon, to make it fit, i was told u have to cut the pipe going down to the pump, so its shorter and join it to the top of the pump with rubber hose and clamps. there shud be lots of info in the search section

the height of the sock when fitted to the new pump shud be same height as standard so the pik up point is the same.

yes: jvs007 speaks the truth :)

sky32t: if you read the posts a little more closely, it should be covered in there.. basically some thick hose can be used to extend the filter to the bottom of the tank where the original one did sit .. hose clamps can be used to attach the pump and to sit it correctly on the bracket.

You will probably need banjo connectors depend on how your pump comes, which may require a visit to Earls, Enzed, or another hose specialist.

Those threads should be in the FAQ section, in much a lot of stuff should thats trailing down and you have to search for pages and pages to find what you're looking for :) .. mods!!

There was kind of one, but buggered if i can find it :) .. Me, JimX and Steve were doing roughtly the same procedure at the same time on each of our cars.

It appears we lost most of the user uploaded pics in November or so when there were a few probs :)

You're moving down to Brissie sometime soon aren't you? If so I'll be happy to help out if you can wait that long.

/me starts ferrets away on hard drive.. digging up old pix..

okz... digging successful here we go.. These were with my old camera so you'll have to excuse the quality. The 3rd photo shows the tank cover with the lid removed.. the 2nd shows the stock pump assembly removed and what it looks like

The 1st pic is how I rigged up the new 910 before putting it back in the tank and putting everything back together again.

Here is the exact thread i was talking about, unfortunately with no photos anymore: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...00&page=1&pp=25

Basically the procedure is this:

1. Get into boot near battery.

2. Use socket extender with a hammer (tapping) or some ghetto method to unscrew the jaw leading to the tank. This has to twist off (just like a jar top), and is fiddly. Proper way is via a custom tool, however a gear puller may work if you have one.

3. Remove rubber inlet and outlet fuel hoses going into tank. Unclip electrical plug

4. Remove lid, whole pump slots into a bracket inside. Should all come out as one piece, bracket and pump if you pull gently. Can now take it away and work with it somewhere suitable.

5. Remove old pump from bracket.

6. Remove fuel hose from metal feeder hose going to bump.

7. Gently pull off the plastic connector, and sock filter from bottom of old pump.

8. Use sufficient hose to go from bottom of new pump to fit over plastic bit of the filter. May need to shave the old tabs of the filter off. Use small hose clamps to secure top and bottom (shown). You want the distance of the reach/angle of the filter to be able the same distance as the old pump.

9. Connect banjo connector to top of pump. Connect the rubber feed hose to this connector.

10. Secure new pump to bracket. I found that one thick hose clamp did the trick.

11. Slot new pump+bracket assembly into position in tank. Be sure to align filter/draw point to angled left side of the tank (same position as old pump).

12. Reconnect all hoses, plugs, etc. Give it a run with the jar off, then do up tightly.

All of this will make more sense when you actually start pulling it apart.

Warning: Note that I can't guarantee the method I used is a very professional or the "best" way to do it, but after months mine is still working perfectly. I must have got the draw angle correct too as it will go right to yellow fuel light without falling over.

Will not be responsible for your self immolation!! Petrol is dangerous!

It is a good idea to do this when there is not much fuel in the tank

Otherwise you can not see what your doing in the tank if it is full

Predator-

Your first photo shows the stock pump and fuel filter pickup

The position of the filter pickup is in a different location to the new location with the bosch pump.

I installed mine in the same position as the factory height on the bracket, but I have surging problems around left hand corners when the tank is about 1/4 full or less

I am going to remove the pump and try lowering the pickup as per your third photo.

I also had a problem re fitting the new 910 pump back into the tank

I had to mount the pump as high as possible on the bracket so the pump did not hit the side of the tank

This meant I had to cut the factory metal pipe on the bracket out of the way.

Did you have to do this?

Hey Pred! I might take you up on that offer, I'm not to confident when it comes to fiddling with the fuel system and petrol at the same time :flamed:

Moving back at the end of March, will let you know...

cheers guys

hey suppose I wanted to mount the pump outside without a surge tank

would it be ok to just run it inline with the standard pump

and draw the current by splicing the power wires and running the 910 in parallel with the standard pump?

Your first photo shows the stock pump and fuel filter pickup

The position of the filter pickup is in a different location to the new location with the bosch pump.

darrinspenser: yup, this is true :D I did this I think at the time so that I could position it right down in the tank a bit further than stock as I didn't think it would hurt. The only time I do have any form of surging problem I think the only time this has ever happened when the tank has been nigh on empty, going around a corner hard, etc. You'd probably get that with the stock pump anyhow.

with my 910, I left the metal tube in place (as you can see its almost a bit of a brace up the top there), but its not needed. You'd probably definitely have to remove it for a large pump, 044 or similar.

When I think about, with it fitting back in, I think I recall bending the bracket out slightly a few degrees from where it slots in, and that is probably the real reason for the extra hose length ... to get the draw point in the right position again. I've made a quick diagram of it - so people can visualise what I mean..

lukits01: yup, I believe that is how its done, one pump lower in the tank feeds the other higher up in the tank. The greatest work the pump does in drawing it up out of the tank, so a secondary pump works outside onwards, working to pump it to your engine. I think that is the theory anyhow. You can also do parallel pump arrangements for different reasons. I'm not really an expert on that, so maybe somebody else can help there.

I'm not to confident when it comes to fiddling with the fuel system and petrol at the same tim

Me either really, and I was really cautious the whole way through but i think in the end it is a relatively safe operation (fuel vapours need a good supply oxygen to ignite, and there is not much in the tank)

    • 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.
