If the 32 setup is anything like the 33 then it's not very hard at all, put one in mine a couple of weeks ago took about 15 minutes to do the actual pump swap and another 30 trying to undo/do up the stupid screw ring :unsure: . Was a bit fiddly getting everything in/out of the tiny access hole but overall only some common sense and reading of SAU was required.

Yea its pritty simple I did mine a month ago. Do not use the filter it comes with as it is to short and dont get the inlet and return hoses mixed up like i did. hehe. Try it yourself you can't really do major damage its just a fuel pump. live and learn :cool:

woops i did use the filter, the car has been idling a bit rough since the install. I'm getting it tuned tomorow (nistune) so i can find out exactly whats going on though.

Its most likely the filter.

To have a better look, I would remove the fuel inlet on the rb and aim it into a bucket - switch the key onto on and you should hear it prime (listen for a high pitch sound) and immediately fuel should come out consistently for a short period. If it doesn't seem to be consistent change the filter - go to Nissan and get a new one.

You herd back from the tuners?

Goodluck

thanks mate, yeh got it back from the tuners and its all good now, i had the afm changed with a z32 at the same time, so that could have been causing the bad idle.

He said it pumped in plenty of fuel and the car runs heaps better now :ninja:

Tune not required, it's also a good time to change your fuel filter if it hasn't been done in a while, was surprised how blocked mine actually was. Genuine from Nissan set me back 40 bucks.

time for me to get a fuel filter for the 33.....cheers for letting me know the price of it :/

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
