Hey guys

i want to replace the fuel filter on my Fuel Pump. It looks like a little white sock / filter thing.

Anyone have a part number for this item or know where i can get a replacement one?

I know that nissan say that it is a non serviceable item, however, i want to be able to put a new one in for peace of mind when i install my new fuel pump

Cheers

-Mark

Have you got the new fuel pump yet?

Last time i replaced one was on an evo. The new pump (walbro) actually came with a new one of those white sock filter things...

That is not the fuel filter as such.. there is usually another one somewhere in the car.

hey guys thanks for the suggestions. on my trip today and total waste of time, i have found that for future reference:

1. as zei said, there is no engine fuel filter. only the sock strainer thing. however there is a filter in the tank which the fuel pump itself sits in, its a massive white one. i tried to buy one from repco, both X-Trail and Maxima ones did not match the V35 one. I went to Nissan and they said it only comes complete with a new fuel pump, which from them costs $1100. ouch!

2. the stock fuel pump is very easy to get to. under your rear seat on the drivers side.

3. my car is fine, and i got worried for nothing all because of a stupid dyno readout. :P

4. i saved money on buying a new fuel pump woo~!

5. my car made approx 8-9kw extra with the motordyne plenum spacer and the intake tube over a stock VQ35DE which is about a 12hp increase, which seems about right.

Just want to know how hard is it to replace the fuel pump back to the spot without stuff things up??...on a CVT sedan ofcoz.

I just had a 80,000k major service at CBD nissan.......its been over 2 week and back to them with petrol leakage under the body.

they said it was the O-ring on the fuel pump as it curved when they place it back on the first time...

second time they said they applied some "glue" to stop the leak - but still leaking....and had to leave the car there for 2 days to get it done

now just found out the car still leaking petrol for the third time....just send the car back to nissan.....plus sniffing petrol emission out from the back seat while driving over 2 weeks ...

is this like a common issue? is really that hard to replace the o-ring/fuel pump back to the original spot?

bro suspecting they might replaced incorrect part on the fuel pump/filter causes the leak.

what happens is the o ring will swell up which it probalby has when it has come in contact with the petrol they have spilled onto it.

you will need to replace the whole o ring it only costs a few measly bucks if they are serioulsy GLUING the oring down WTF??? take your car elsewhere

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
