hey guys

did some mods to my car and needed to get a new fuel pump installed , so i got a brand new Bosch 040.

had the workshop the car was in to install it as i didnt really have an option

but ever since i got the car back and the petrol has dropped below half a tank , it feels like its just surging...

me and a mate just took the cover and lines off and this is what we discoverd...

shit does NOT look right to me...

the dickbags used carby hose and it basically blew off the top of the pump and cracked because its not reinforced...

top workmanship right there!

so after basically re-doing the install myself my car now runs perfectly. after buying a new ecu, coilpacks , plugs etc...

last time i take my car to a workshop

Name and shame the workshop please. That is a serious error of judgement right there, for the sake of perhaps half an of saved labour, these guys have put your motor at risk.

i will be.

its cost me so much f**king money because i got told it was my ecu , z32 and fuel pump...

so i had to buy a new z32, new ecu & new fuel pump , only to have said pump installed by a monkey.

f**k sake , me and my mates did a better job installing it AT NIGHT WITH AN IPHONE AS A LIGHT then these wankers did...

none of us are mechanics either , just enthusiasts. now thats saying something is it not?

I must admit , i really do love paying money and having my car run lean and surge under load, i really hope it pops a cylinder so i can spend all this money on my money tree ive been growing...

You had an iPhone hovering above the opening of the fuel tank? :D

all that bullshit about mobile phones causing petrol stations to blow up is just that... bullshit. modern phones these days have zero spark producing ability. Furthermore its pretty hard to ignight fuel in some situations... if you lit a ciggy lighter inside a petrol tank it would probably not even light, nore would it ignite anything due to very low levels of oxygen. that said i wouldnt try it ;)

lol ive been stooged by the tool bags at repco twice.

If you ever ask for efi hose make sure u watch them cut it off the drum and read the drum.

For some reason they seem to seem that low pressure carburetta hose is rated to 70 psi and will be fine on my track car.

also its partly my fault for not looking at the hose until i got home.

apart from myself. the only people who touch my car are my father and uncle (both motor mechanics and deisel fitters)

i know both my tuner and engine builder well now and would not let them near the car if i didnt know how reputable they were.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
