I've found one... :D

Based on the following table:

Bosch 910 pump is 200 litres per hour and supports 450 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 975 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 984 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 044 pump is 330 litres per hour and supports 730 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 040 pump is 235 litres per hour and supports 520 bhp at 73.5 PSI

There is a Nismo 4.1Litre per minute or 246 litre per hour intank pump that should support approx 540hp.

Greenline sell them for ~$500 AUD.

if your pump does the same noisy thing when hot then I guess they all do it

i was going to mention this!

was curious to know if anyone elses gets annoyingly louder when its hot (long drive + warmer weather)

im not sure how mine was mounted (its intank), but the only issue i have is that when the fuel gauge is on the second last notch, its classified as "empty" and will surge if it goes lower and i dont fuel up :cheers:

Yes yes yes - mine does this - I thought is was a problem with my pump - but if others do this too -then I guess not ! !

Phewwww - I feel a lot better now ! ! ! !

I have put 55L in mine, guage was well and truely on empty, and it didnt surge - that was with bosch 044.

If you have surge, there is a very good chance that the pickup isnt correctly located. next time you have low fuel, try pulling the pump, and checking that the sock is in the right spot, ie, it locates in the little section at the bottom of the tank designed for it to fit. Also, check the tounges on the back of the fuel pump bracked are secured (fitted) properly in the locator.

Err yeah, but why?

Edit: in tank it will be farkin' expensive. You'd really need to put them in a custom surge tank. But again I ask why? The 044 handles up to 700hp on its own. Combined with a smaller pump you might find it harder to control the fuel pressure. If you want to pair them up it's best to use the same pumps.

If one fails you'd never know, unless you had a really keen ear. You'd be better off just carrying a spare of the same type and the tools to fit it, if you were really worried about pump failure on the road.

The "surging" noise happens because Skylines have a variable resistor for the pump. When 100% fuel pressure is not required ie at idle or light cruising, it increases the resistance and the fuel pump slows down. 

With the PowerFC it seems to vary this a lot more between simply "on" or "off" like the factory ECU does. It also seems to want to vary a lot even when just idling, so the noise becomes a bit more annoying and "groaning" kinda because it dips up and down rather than just clicking between high and low pressure like with the factory ECU.

Joel, if your pump does the same noisy thing when hot then I guess they all do it. Design flaw maybe?

Ive noticed this with my 32...Anything below around 2800rpm, u get the shit groaning noise on/off. Though reving higher I never get it. Is there anything that can be easily changed? I get pretty much the same noises on empty or full.

So you have the pump mounted externally?

Originally my pump was mounted directly the chassis and petrol tank. I used to be able to feel the vibrations at my feet when driving through the floor pan.

I have since rubber mounted it and the noise can still be heard all though it is now heaps quieter & the vibrations have totally gone.

Before you get under the car take it to a car wash place and hit it with the high pressure hose up inbetween the diff and petrol tank other wise you will have lots of dirt and junk in your eyes by the end of the mod.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
