i had a fellow sau member put on a bosch (032 or 040 or somethig) internal fuell pump and the installlation went well....drove it for 30 mins around and it was running well....as i was going home and then i had a a quick lose of power and the engine would slowly die.Tried starting the car and it wont start at all...

i could hear the fuel pump switching on but it wont start..It would just be cranking on the ignition...

Called him up and he told me to check my fmic piping and afm (there could be a leakage not getting enuff air) and check the fuel pump wirings ( a wire would of came off). I checked em all but it still wont start...

can someone help me out as please....it seems it wanna start but something is stopping it....

cheers

Take the fuel hose off the end of the reg...

See if fuel is coming out.

Sounds like a botched install of the fuel pump - is it a genuine BOSCH? Plenty of fakes on the market - usually easy to pick as they are just too cheap.

yeah he does, and yeah if no fuel then maybe the stock wire just isnt big enough to power the 040, im guessing the 040 is similar to 044, when i got mine done u run another wire that follows the stock on thats a thicker core, otherwise it'l melt like it did on my mates vl after he got a respectable well known dyno'r in sa to put it on...

car feels like ders no fuel going thru the engine....fuel reg might be faulty..what do i do now??

Have you pulled the fuel line off that goes to the reg and turned the key to on? Does the fuel pump out?

If not the pump pickup may have fallen off.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
