Sorry to resurrect an old thread, can i get some help plz....

I have got my new bosch 040 ready to go in.

I have bought fuel resistant hose and clamps.

I went to supercheap and they didnt have chemical resistant wire... where can i get some?

Could i just use the stock fuel pump wire and solder on terminals at the end?

Cheers,

Ryan

Is there any soldering required when installing a Walbro 255? (model GSS342)

Also do these aftermarket fuel pumps have a loud whine? I don't want anything louder than the Nissan OEM fuel pump.

My walbro whines, you can only hear it bad on ignition. Once the car is running or stereo is on you cant hear it much.

No soldering done with mine. Used the crimps that came with the kit.

I used this how to as a guide and I just thought I might throw up a pic of the mounting job I did on my Bosch 044.

Had to pull it out once to readjust it cause it was making strange intermittent sucky noises which I could really only hear at idle when it was hot (afternoon). Cavitation ???

I tried to get the sock sitting at just the same height and angle as the stock pumps was.

It's only been a couple of days since, but I haven't heard the sound again... yet.

Seems very quiet in general, priming sounds tough. :thumbsup:

Hi Guys, I have a R33 GTR that I suspect has a dud fuel pump, I hve read the info here but I has going to check for voltage at the pump before I start to pull everything apart.

There is power at the fuel pump fuse, which conector is for the pump, the brown or the gray, I'm guessing the brown as it has only two connectors. Should there be power there when the ignition is turned to on or is it more complicated than that

Cheers

I haven`t read the replies about all the fuel pump installations but why not save yourselves some drama and leave the standard pump where it is and buy an external one Attach it to the underside of the car or in the boot inline with the fuel lines somewhere,that way the standard pump acts as a lift pump and the new external does what its supposed to do!.That way you don`t have to get messy in the tank!.

What happens if and when the Old Stock Pump dies? Nothing good.

I replaced mine for peace of mind.

Gonna be changing my 044 for a Walbro soon. Just for fun. :thumbsup:

Could anyone be of some assistance?, I've searched but have not come up with anything concrete.

I recently changed out my fuel pump to a Bosch. When I turn the ignition on I can here it pumping, the car cranks but does not want to turn over.

I've pulled the hose off the filter and there is plenty of flow, not sure where to look next? possibly the AFM?.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you managed to start the car at all since changing the pump?

Is the pump wired straight to the battery with a relay?

Are you sure you got the feed and return around the right way?

And I assume you mean the car cranks but doesn't want to run. The engine turns over when when the starter spins it?

just read all the replies,

imma bout to tackle the fuel pump change to a walbro 460 LPH. the thing is i think there is an 040 or nismo intank ...

thinking of just putting the new one external (external version of the walbro E85) and use it as a lift pump.

but for peace of mind i would rather change it but dont really wanna go through all the hassles tho.

but in saying that my fuel gauge works but not getting the warning light on low fuel?

cant be the low fuel sender kaput? coz the gauge still works but not the fuel light

already replaced the fuel light bulb and still nada.

any thoughts?

    • 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?
