Story is started the car and let the fuel pump prime....then drove off...After 10 mins of driving the pump would eventually get a loud hizzing sound...

While revving the hizzing is loud but toleratable

but when i take my foot off the accelerate pedal to slow down or came to a complete stop, the hizzing sound would get really loud....

My fuel tank level is half way and i put bp ultimate...

Any one got any ideas?

PS. When a mate installed the fuel ppump it was running fine..Test drive it for 2 days then i stored the car for 6 months in the garage...6 months later started to use it today and all this happened.....

Hey man, i had a real noisy buzzy fuel pump wen i bought my car ,heard it from the moment i put ignition on, got louder wen i accelerated, i thought it was aftermarket until i took it out to change it. does ur car take a while to crank?

my old one died on me, turned out to be a shitty stock one,,maybe u should check the wiring on it, but otherwise from wat ive heard, aftermarket ones are meant to be a bit loud..

but yeh, the one i installed in my car only buzzes wen i turn ignition on, and never again

What pump did he install? Some aftermarket ones are rather loud, i have a Bosch 040 in my R33, and it is rather loud but i live with it.

Benzimo - my car cranks fine..i just gotta wait for the priming to finish which only takes 5 secs

I can live with the noise but i just wanna know if the fuel pumps are meant to have a loud buzzing sound when accelerating and on idle...

Aberax - Its a bosch 023 (big bro of 040 i think)

My Walbro makes a similar noise, kind of like that noise your speakers make when they are not hooked up properly. Got really worried because I thought the Walbros were rather quite. Went to my tuner and all good just noisy, you get used to it.

Just turn the radio up louder to drown it out...hehe

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
