Hi all,

I have received my Nismo 600cc injectors and Nismo fuel pump for my R34 GT-R and am curious to know if I can install them now before I get my mechanic to retune my Apexi Power FC along with other parts that I am still waiting on? (boost controller, cams, turbos...)

I ask this because the Nismo injectors/fuel pump are bolt on replacements and shouldnt effect my current tune with my Power FC right? Plus they seem like easy DIY parts... so I was thinking of doing it now so thats one less thing that my mechanic has to do and save money on labour.

Cheers,

You can do the injectors yourself as long as you change your PFC to reflect the new injector size, but I would only recommend it for a short distance and driving very sedately and not getting on boost at all on the way to the mechanic.

put the Power FC in and set the injector correction to about 70% and it will be fine to drive to tuners.

Thanks for your replies guys!

So all of you agree that definately the fuel pump is a go without any ECU dramas? Access is under the rear seat?

Nothing has to be transferred from my standard fuel pump to the Nismo one right? ie - seals/0-Ring/bolts etc? Just worried that I might miss something...

Cheers,

If it's anything like my R33 you'll get to it through the boot, and it will be behind the front boot liner on the opposite side to the battery.

There should be a big plate with the fuel hoses and wiring running into it - you unbolt that, then there should be a round collar below it that holds the pump assembly in.

In fact, I think there are a couple of tutorials in the DIY section for installation of Bosch or Walbro pumps. The Nismo should go in a lot easier because you don't have to hack anything to get it to fit.

If you get stuck give me a shout - i'm down in the deep south but happy to help out.

Wow, lucky I didnt pull out the back seat and discover nothing! Cheers for the info guys!

I'll be sure to contact you JD_R33 if I run into any dramas.

Cheers,

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
