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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
