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 :/

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
