yeah 044 is external, the nismo ones i've seen for >600 so they're out. 33 GTR pump will drop straight in but i'm expecting Nissan to give some sort of shit pricing.

What trouble did you have with the 040 Abe? Hardest part of the install looks like positioning it close enough to the bottom of the tank.

sscond hand gtr pumps go for $100-$200, modify the cradle a bit, and youre sweet. can buy brand new walbro pumps for about $160 from ats, basically the same to fit as gtr pumps, minimal mods and it goes right in.

Yep I highly recommend the Walbro 255lph - had one in my S15 and my R34. The 040 I had in the S15 sucked up silt off the bottom of the tank and blocked, then failed.

Pumps with socks (like the stock pump and the Walbro) are better designed for Nissans IMHO.

Also, got camber? I have some camber arms ordered to address the problem, but it looks pretty slammed at the moment :D

shit balls. thats crazy.

are you feeling the blue or the beige? im leaning towards the blue at the moment.

getting them to fit is f**king simple if you have a dremel and hose clamp. i was a bit confused when i did mine, but then i looked at went "ooooooh", 30 minutes later it was in the tank.

+1

i rate the walbros, very simple to install, and they do their job well. there's a lot of mixed opinions around other areas of the forum on these, but we chose it over the bosch for its similarities to the std setup. installed, tested, and proven good performer.

fuel pumps arent hard to install if your not afraid of modifying the cradle, getting a few cuts on your hands from the fiddly bits around accessing the tank, and of course inhaling petrol fumes :D

some like to go that bit further and rewire for better voltage

would look even better with some 25mm spacers ;D

only concern I'd have with the wallbro pump is whether or not it flows more than the stock gtr pump - i know this isnt much of an issue till u go over 300kw but I'm leaning towards the nismo (125% flow rate) rather than a bosch

what splits are u getting steve? type R's ?

-D

the stag has had an 040 for 4 yrs now, no issues.

the rb26 sedan has an intank gtr pump and fitting an external walbro 305lph unit - $160 good price

040's are around 190 but you can get copies for around 100

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
