The Bosch 040 I originally had put in my S15 annoyed the living crap out of me with its incessant buzzing - and it WAS mounted in-tank, on the factory mounting points. I was most pleased when it shat itself and I put the near silent Walbro in.

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

why would you bother? buy a shitty copy, its dies the first time you give your car a belting, you destroy a piston, and then youre paying for a replacement engine, all because you were too tight to spend an extra 90 squid.

shit balls. thats crazy.

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

Red you go faster in red :down:

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 ones i won from the simulation event Earthquake's, car is un-ammped should still be ok its a clarion head unit

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.

Main problem was Me :down:...The fuel hose i had bought was the wrong type - designed to have fuel through it, not around it. So connected it all up, got it to fit...with no hose clamp holding it to the cradle. It lasted maybe 5 days, went to start it one day after work, was hard to start. I thought, right ill go fill up, go fill up, get round the corner...and the car dies, luckily i was just round the corner from work. Coasted back to work, rang my boss, he came and lent a hand, he then towed me 300m to the Maccas carpark, where it stayed for 2-4 Days. Bought some new fuel hose, mounted pump to cradle with a hose clamp...and been fine every since, other then the damn whining of it sometimes, sometimes you can hardly hear it.

Damm ppl from all over the world.

Was just bidding on a V-cam setup. Got abit too excited, so had to pull out. :D

Is that what you do :huh:

Just get a huge external setup with swirl pot.

it's what all the cool kids are doing. Loud as f**k, too.

I was in my mates KE70 the other month, and my mate in the back seat went to light up a smoke, my mate driving was like "Dude, hear that sound? That's my external fuel pump... I wouldn't be smoking in the back seat".

Love KE70's.

Fuel systems are over rated :down:

I'm only going fuel cell into 2 external low pressure bosch pumps into a pederson swirl pot then into 2 Bosch 044, then sard fpr and finally 1200cc injectors.

:huh:

i havnt had any issues with my bosch 040 for about 2-3 years now......its a bit noisy at the prime up time but after that its not as loud as people make it out to be.....and if the bosch 040 goes then i will definitely be going a nismo

Nice colossal traffic jam on the PRE this morning! Thank you to the genius who thought that would be a good idea in peak hour morning traffic :down:

.. thought 'what' would be a good idea in peak hour morning traffic?

(*wonders if I'm the only one wondering what a 'PRE' is too...*)

WOW, theifs are getting gutsy nowadays,

just had a stereo stolen from one of the work cars, whilst is was parked out the front. they removed the surround, disconnected the stereo wire by wire, and then replaced the surround including the bolts.

as if i wouldn't notice the stereo was missing...

oh well, jokes on them, the CD player doesn't work :down:

feck me. nearly fell over when i was told the price of a genuine nissan intercooler hose $432!

anyone know of anyone/ wreckers with 33GTR parts? was hoping to fix the R before the weekend

try ministry of bass man... they have tonnes of hoses

-D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
