hey

i have a r33 rb25det sedan. i went to install a bosch 040 pump into so i can begin the next stage of power mods. (turbo, pfc etc) thinking it would be the same process as most nissans. pull out the cradel, slightly mod it and hose clamp the bosch in place. hmmm no.

now if you are familair with 33 4 doors, the tank is further forward then most import nissans, basically under the parcel shelf, also its plastic not metal. the other main diference is the fuel pump is not in a cradel but attched inside the tank and bascially impossible to get at. One option would be to drop the tank, requiring the whole rear cradel, tailshaft and exhaust to be removed. but that stil doesn garruanty that i can fit a bosch 040 to this tank.

what options do i have?

or what have others done in there modified r33 4 doors????

thanx in advance

cheers

Sounds very much like my 2 door r33.

Tank is plastic.

Opening to the tank is under the parcel shelf.

The Cradle that everyone refers to is inside the tank, not attached to the tank lid.

I had to reach inside the tank and pull it out. My tank was full of fuel, so I had to reach under the fuel to get it.

also, could any who has installed a 040 to there r33 please post up a picture of the pump mounted to the bracket for reference.

i to am interested to know what was done about the sock/strainer when using a 040 pump as they do not have a fittin on the pickup end, only a gauze.

i did this the other week in my series 2 r33

it WAS.NOT.FUN.

i ended up just clamping the pump onto the end of the cradle which i cut the end off

and pushing the pump in as far as possible, the tank is an odd shape and the pumps diameter is too large.

good luck is all i can say

i just got my 040 fuel pump the other day and i have a 33 gtst s2...

do most ppl do this install theirselves or get a mechanic 2 do it... sounds like a major pain in the ass!

you guys need to harden up a bit.

044's fit in there simple as, so whats your prob with a 040?

attached is a photo of a r33 4 door set up with 044 on stock cradle.

go ro pirtek with the photo and say match this please,

then go to repco and get a efi v8 falcon fuel strainer and copy.

2 hrs start to finish and that includes going to the shops.

pretty much as above

undo fuel cover in boot, disconnect plugs, fuel hoses etc (if you cant undo the lid get a flathead and a hammer and give it some help)

pull out full pump assemble bracket thing - its just slide in and out with some clips

take off stock pump

bend the end of the bracket out of the way or cut it off

hose clamp bosch 040. maybe use some fuel hose so it doesnt make as much noise

slide assembly bracket back into fuel tank - this can be a bit fiddly. you have to manipulate it a bit (i got mine sitting down right near the bottom of the tank with no sock filter or anything.

reattach everything and close it all up.

also do the direct wiring mod thats in the DIY section.

ive done all this in my R33 series 1 sedan

and in my new R33 series 2 coupe.

both were pretty much exactly the same

thanx for all the info, and the dude who pm'ed me.

i got this all sorted now. made up a tool to easily remove and do up the big tank scew.

got the 040 in there nice and low. hav driven it well under 1/4 of a tank an no probs so seems pretty good. also did the direct earth mod aswel.

cheers

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
