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

it pretty easy to change mate , the pump is on a big long bracket that has a slide in mount inside the tank , the spin on cap to seal the tank is a cvnt though , make sure you don't cross thread it :D oh and watch you don't spray yourself with fuel when you undo the fuel lines on the top :)

Toffy is on the money. It isn't really that hard to fit (and yes the bosch 040 is a an easy fit for it) but does get a little fiddly thanks to the tank being almost impossible to see down into.

The easiest solution is to give some kid 10 bucks to jump into the boot and use his little arms and a torch to pull it out/put it back in for you. But this could also end up sounding pretty suss when you have to explain to the cops why there is an 8 year old kid in your boot passed out from petrol fumes.

So if possible, get yourself in there with a torch or like I did, do it all by feel. The hole bracket will just slide up and out and then its the same process as any other Nissan - simple modification etc. The hardest part is getting it back in properly and sitting at the same level. I thought I had it in right but after a quick double check relised it was not sitting deep enough in the tank which would result in less pick up. It should feel like it has slid and locked into place almost.

Good luck, as Toffy said, that plastic cap is the worst part about the job...

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
