Hi guys, I've got a R33 GTR V-Spec. I'm in the process of changing my stock fuel pump but upon opening the tank I noticed some dirty fuel. Mind you, I only use V-Power. So I don't to risk clogging up my new fuel pump because of dirty tank. So I've decided to change the tank for good. I know its not an easy job so I'm thinking of getting a local mechanic to do it for me.

What I want to know is what other R33 model styline fuel tanks will be suitable for a R33 GTR. I know for a fact that the fuel send is different for a GTS-T compared to a GTR and they both have different part numbers (I'm assuming they want to sell the GTR one for more???)

Need to get this sorted quickly to get car moving again :P

Has anyone done this before? any place recommend to get this done at in melbourne se? rough cost of changing tanks?

Cheers

why not just clean your tank? seems pointless to change it cause its dirty.

also remember your fuel runs through a filter sock on the fuel pump then another actual fuel filter.

maybe replace your old filters and flush/siphon out the old petty

Hey, so far I've changed 2 fuel pumps coz they got blocked. I've changed the strainer and fuel filters as well, but they just get blocked again. If you think cleaning the tank may make my job easier, how do I go about doing that? or should I get a radiator place to do it? From memory they charge a few hundred dollars as some have to physically remove the tank to clean it! I wouldn't mind siphoning the old fuel and putting some "fuel tank cleaner" in there and mixing it or letting it say until tank is ready for emptying.

Like I said, I haven't attempted this before and if someone has, could they please guide me how they went about doing it?

:)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
