Hi

Wanting to upgrade fuel pump in my R33 GTR, I want something that sits in the factory position and clips in like the stock fuel pump does

Besides the Japanese pumps, TOMEI, NISMO, SARD etc which are like $400 + is there any other pump that can use the standard mounting bracket, in maybe a BOSCH model?

Don't mind if it has to be modified 'slightly' as long as it sits as the factory fuel pump does and flows like a NISMO/TOMEI etc

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

the japanese pumps, nismo, tomei etc are well worth the money. in both of my heavily modified GTRs I used japanese pumps and couldn't be happier. they fit straight in in about 10mins. sure you can hack up your cradle to fit a bosch pump, but the number of times I've seen people fit an aftermarket pump to the stock cradle and then get fuel surge due to improper mounting is insane. considering how important good fuel supply is I would spend the extra few bucks and get a nismo one.

out of the japanese fuel pumps, which do you beleive is the best choice?

they are all much of a muchness. i've used nismo and tomei and hks. if I had to buy one now, I think i like nismo the best. dunno why, I just have an image of them being slightly nicer quality. but in reality there is bugger all between them.

Probably the best thing about Nismo is that 99.9% of the time is going to fit perfectly.

well i just fitted a gen. walbro fuel pump..rated at 550hp..

its like half the size of my stock fuel...

it was the BEST fit...and i didnt think it would..but wen i saw the pump..i was lik wow!...lol

which is way smaller than an bosch 040!!!!!

but i drive a gtst...

But i was gona buy a tomei one..its lik an extra 100ish bucks...

but its really up too u..

it fix a lot of flat spots after installed too.. :P

Thanks for that Adam

Anyone put a BOSCH 044 into an R33 GTR tank?

I put one in a 32 GTR tank; I don't know how different they are internally to the 33 tank.

I wrote a tutorial on it and someone was kind enough to take photos, you'll find it in the DIY section

It may be of some help, I don't know.

In a 32:

* It is not a drop-in replacement (cutting/fabrication/adapters needed, but the work is pretty simple).

* It is as quiet as the standard pump was.

* It flows more than enough fuel at ~65psi (something that walbros seem to struggle with).

If you can verify that your aftermarket pump of choice:

* flows enough fuel at the target pressure

* is a drop-in replacement

I'd go down that path. Drop-in replacements are always that much easier to deal with and you can always go back to standard anytime you want to.

Saliya

    • 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?
