Hey guys.

Currently in process of installing Nismo intank fuel pump on the 33. Working off the tute in the diy section. Everything was going to plan until i put the new pump back in the hole. I cant find the spot to actually mount the bracket inside. When i pulled the original pump out it didnt appear to have the mount part holding onto anything either. It is sitting right at the bottom of the tank part. Am i pretty safe to close it all up and leave it go? Or is there issues this could cause (maybe like fuel surge if the pump moves (even though it seems fairly steady).

Secondly. With the black ring that you have to tap around (with wood and mallet by the tutorial). A few of the tab bits are starting to dent a bit. Has anyone come across a better method to tighten the ring over the lid???

Thanks for any help.

ps if anything doesnt make sense im a bit "fuelled up" atm. :) lol.

Cheers Luke

the bracket has like 2 forks on the bit thats at rigth angles to the main bracket . these slide into 2 slots on the front wall of the tank just inside the whole .

get a blunter screw driver

ive seen pics of people using big multigrisp on the ring thing. god that gave me the shits putting it back on. too fiddly to get off centre.

also, it may take a lil while to get it on the mount. took me around 10mins of constant trying. you'll get it eventually :)

Thanks for the help guys.

Pump is in. Car is running again (cant take it out of the street to test as No interior or seatbelts atm. and i dont have a milkcrate to use as a makeshift seat :(

For peoples future reference. My ring was getting a knocked about trying to get it back on. (No funny comments there please ;) ). Ended up putting a bit of inox on the inside thread of the ring. Went on like a dream, then secured fine once tightened.

Literally took about 2 minutes to finish off.

Cheers. Luke

Well. The car finally left the garage with the new pump in tonight. Running fine. Ive read the nismos are fairly quiet. This thing sort of howls. lol. Admittedly with no back seat or sound deadening. But wow. Sounded pretty tough though i must add.

Is it normal for nismo pumps to be approx double as loud as standard??

Secondly. I know i dont need a tune straight after getting the pump done. But if the car was running perfect before the pump. Am i fairly safe to be revving it right out on the new pump without affecting tune at all???

Thirdly (full of questions tonight). With a power goal of approx 250rwkw. On the Nismo pump should i be doing the wiring upgrades to make the most of it??

With a power goal of 250rwkws, you'll be fine with that pump as is, no wire upgrades.

As far as tunes go, if your tune was fine before, and you've upgraded your pump.....all i can see happenning (and that's a maybe) is you'll be getting slightly more fuel which is actually safer so rev to your hearts content.

just make sure you did secure the pump to the bracket inside the tank. otherwise you are going to get fuel surge issues and possibly damaged/dead pump eventually.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
