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:

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
