So im getting a fuel pump and regulator installed on my car. Just need to decide which one im getting, I've had an extensive chat with Mark at godzilla motorsports and have been told that the bosch fuel pumps are quite noisy, the walbaros have a bit of screwing around install wise to get them to fit and that in his opinion the smart way to go would be with a Tomei. There a straight bolt on, little noise but are quite pricey.

Anyone got any other suggestions, or any knowledge from personal experiance that would help?

Cars a R34 GTT btw.

Cheers

Sammy

i fitted my walbro with a mate, who helped out coz he has done one before and we had to modify the bottom rubber to make it fit but that didnt take too long, it was pretty much a straight fit besides that. i have never fitted one before and it only took me about 1 hour, having never done it before. wasnt too hard at all.

personally i'd rather go a bosch, but depends on what you want out of the car.If you want just manily bolt on and say 260kw, then go a walbro, if you want more go a bosch, but once again just my opinon and from experience.Id rather have more leeway and more fuel then not enough.Also why other with a fuel reg unless you run big boost and bigger turbo, plus then alot of other high HP cars that i see are still running there original fuel reg.

Ah ok very cool. Well Im having an emanage ultimate installed at teh same time so I think I will just have the pump installed by godzilla at the same time. But from what I was told I just gathered there was alot more screwing around involved with the walbaro as appose to the tomei but apparently not...

as for the regulator. its for future modifications, Id rather have it installed when im doing the Fuel pump and computer than later on when im having the turbo and injectors installed.

Make sure you do something with the intank reg as well, it's a crappy piece of violet plastic inline with the hose, they're not so great. If you can get one from a GTR they're better. Even an R34 GTR fuel reg on the rail is a straight swap :blink:

+ 1 for either the Tomei or Nismo items, i went through the same thing you are going through and decided to bite the bullet and i am glad i did, no noise except when priming for a second, even then it is not bad at all. Your call though i cant comment on the bosch or walbro pumps but i can give a massive thumbs up for the Tomei and Nismo pumps, IMHO definatly worth the $$$.

+1 for the tomei/nismo

Quiet and has good pickup right down to near empty. Good flow rate to and easy to install

have heard nothing but bad things from a mate with a walbro in his 32 4 door and have limited experience with the bosch. Hear its noisey and has a bad pickup

I've got a Walbro in tank and a bosch 044 after the surge tank. The bosch is quite until you start driving hard then it starts to make a heap of noise like a buzz saw cutting wood. It goes back quite again once all has cooled down. First time I heard it I thought the pump was faulty but the second one does the same thing.

Make sure you have a good gaws on the in tank pump as well.

I reccomend the Nismo pump high flow rate and easy to install comes with everthing down to the mounting bracket. Contact Dan from Elite racing he will hook you up. :D

+11ty

I have a Nismo 600HP one...awesome item. I had to shorten one tube that is all.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
