I've got an 044 and it's very quiet, except sometimes it makes weird noises when the fuel level drops below the pump. I put it down to it not being that secure in the tank mounting so it has a chance to resonate a bit when in the air. One of these days I will pull it out again and put it back in properly!

I've heard from a couple of people that even the 044 is a quieter pump than a GTR pump, so I wouldn't be overly worried if the GTR pump is noisy.

Just my regular mechanic. He said it was a piss fight to do but well it got done and its working fine so its all good. I left my car there all day while I was at work but i believe it was about a 1.5-2hr job.

SLY33, it probably depends on the mounting. They have to modify the bracket to get it to fit so depending on what they did it probably affects the noise. I just bent mine back and to the right to get mine to fit, and this has probably helped.

Also if it's in a surge tank it will be noisy-as because most of the noise insulation comes from the fuel tank when mounted internally. Mine is only quiet because it's muffled by the tank.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
