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

hahaaha at least its an autech

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

hahah nice Andrew

i go to AutoPerfection tomorrow to have my splits fitted, any one have questions

alarms, installs, tints, what colour undies to wear :D

shit balls. thats crazy.

alarms, installs, tints, what colour undies to wear :D

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

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
