Hi guys. In an attempted leadup to the possibility of me coming down on the weekend i have encountered an electrical issue, or a pump malfunction when i was getting my car dyno tuned. It seems the pump is dropping off in pressure greatly, it was said to be a gtr nismo upgrade pump. What im wondering is wheather there is a fuel pump speed controller and is it by-passable, is it worth rewiring the pump and peoples experiences with similar issues. The tuner is new to the GTR so im a little worried. Please dont grill me for posting here first, i thought id ask the locals before throwing it out to the world.

Hi. The fuel pump is using the standard wiring as it was a drop in nismo item. And no, im not using a rising rate. there is no need for the power goal im after. 400awhp. I was advised to try and hardwire the pump and also to ground the pump directly to the chassis as there was a FPSC on the strut tower in the boot. Something about it regulates the voltage by resistance through the earth. Its worrying me because these guys have little to no experience in GTR's and its racking me up a massive bill. In the vicinity of 2k for a tune and to fault find the problem with the pump!! They are trying to tell me that the vi-pec software is hard to use, similar to the VCM suite VE software and it takes more time?? I mentioned the autotune functions to speed up the tuners time and was basically ignored. Getting me pretty worried :)

thats just it bunta, the tuners havnt described anything. I have to hassle them to get updates on the car and the updates i do get are fuzzy to say the least. Im not an average joe, i have a pretty extensive amount of knowledge on cars and everything ive been told ive already suggested. They dont want to take any advice/tips/hints or anything, i think its a "were fine, we will work it out ourselves, we dont need any help" thing. I guess im just like an expectant father, very nervous to say the least. Im just really worried they might do more damage than good, these cars are not cheap to work on or fix :( Heres to hoping i guess

well, i had to go in and show them myself this morning. Got the car back this afternoon, cams are still not dialed in. made 360whp@18psi. was told that to dial the cams would be approx 6-7hrs, and thats on top of the 1971bux they have just charged me :rofl: I think that now the car is in a driveble state and the AFR's are fine i will be paying Godzilla a visit. The power curve is a shallow straight line so its not exactly responsive by any means sadfase

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
