Basically if you install a pump that doesn't have one of these, you have to prime the system before you start the car (044 for example). This simply involves turning the ignition on and letting the fuel pump run for a few seconds before turning it over.

Yeah that's basically what every EFI car does anyway. Having the system hold pressure is the whole purpose behind how an injector works properly so having a fuel system that doesn't hold pressure is going to cause some starting issues.

You are better off having it than not

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

The check-valve sounds like a good thing to me.

Can I detach the valve and fit it to my new pump, or is it non-removable from the standard pump?

Tomei and Nistune replacement pumps seem to have this valve present while other universal pumps don't

Thanks ...

Hello,

I have recently received a Skyline R33 S2 pump (at least that's what I've been told)

The pump does not have this 'valve' but there is something which looks like a pressure valve (?) at the upper halfe of the pump.

Would anybody know what this is?

Secondly, is there a difference between Spec1 and Sepc2 fuel pumps?

Many thanks ...

having starting issues myself, ive got a Sard 280lph direct fit fuel pump. its using the standard fuel lines in the tank, standard cradle etc

does this pump have a check valve?

my car never had this problem up until few weeks ago, pumps been in there for about 3ish weeks or so

all you lot are wrong .

its a spring loaded relief valve . dumps fuel out of the line back into the tank it the line gets blocked or something . stops the hoses blowing off in the engine bay

So why can you blow through it one way and not the other?

my fuel line coming off the fuel pump had one of these inline with the fuel hose about 20cm or so from the pump

does it do the same thing? looks like a fuel regulator or something

got a pic but cant attach for some reason

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
