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:

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
