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

haha ill take this stagea anyday!!!! http://www.discountusedcars.com.au/used-ca...ea/3483209.aspx

lol someone didnt get enough sleep! or am i misinformed haha

Anyone know roughly what a 33 GTR fuel pump is worth? Or should I just drop in a 040.

i have an 040 was already modded to the cradle so i just dropped in :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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
