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?

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
