Replacement Fuel Pump


MYRB30
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I have a case of the lazy fuel pump disease. It's not holding up it's end of the bargain.

What fuel pumps are people using these days as replacements? The cars pretty stock, just exhaust and filters. So I'm not fueling a 1000hp monster.

Is there a suitable replacement that slides straight in? or are we messing around with brackets and stuff now?

Thanks!!!!!!

Also consider what the requirements will be for the pump maybe later down the track. A walbro or bosch 040 is rated about the same as a stock gtr pump (close enough for this discussion) with a new power feed run to supply them. If you splurge on a set of turbs and injectors down the track neither will do the job with any safety margin.

After faffing about getting my 044 intank set up properly, I would recommend any of the jap drop-in jobs, nismo etc.

What filter sock and fittings in and out did you use for this install?

I used a falcon filter sock with a custom bastardised inlet fitting and a wierdo outlet fitting.. Nothing off the shelf that I could find to fit.

Got a part number for the Sard unit? and is it just a rebadged Bosch/Walbro pump?

Looks like its 58252. Its 280L, so i guess thats 280l/h. Made in Japan - not sure if that helps in determining if its rebadged (not bosch i guess)

Uses all the standard bits, including the pick up sock.

My Walbro is a GSS342 (255lph) and will support up to 500 ponies.

I got it off eBay for less than $160 delivered to my doorstep.

It may be no Nismo 280lph which costs about $500, but if you plan to run less than 500hp, why not give it a thought.

I think I paid $140 for my 044.. :) I have installed one of those 255lph walbro pumps, into my brothers falcon. Easy install. Personal preference I'd stay away from it, but have heard all sorts of good stories about installs into supras and whatever.

500hp isn't all that much really. I am running 350rwhp at the moment, and as 26's go mine is right down the low end of the scale. Confirmed by trap speed as well..

Just make sure you wire in a dedicated feed with relay and fuse protection, no matter which way you end up going. I'd probably do this before changing the pump, as well as throwing a new filter on there.. I did.

    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:  
    • Oh I have mine all sitting in boxes ready to go, two sets of rotors, four sets of pads and caliper rebuild kits. They send a survey asking me if I had installed them months ago :p Grinder not necessary to fit the fronts, and not *really* for the rears. They have some good simple videos on how-to. I don't understand brake lines but from what I understand... somehow... OEM lines work, even though people say 350Z and 370Z use different banjo bolts, so it's possible 350'z had some different setup that Nissan changed to the 370Z/R33/R34 system? ....though are a little short, but past-me made a new bolt hole to bolt them to to reach my current fronts so I should be okay... maybe. In any case HFM don't sell any *different* line kits for R33/R34 front brakes than they do for the 370Z kits. So in my mind they must be compatible or they would have different products made to suit the different calipers. Please test and confirm for me kthx.
