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.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
