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.

Edited by Japav

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

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
