stock 33 GTR pump is only really good enough for stock 440cc injectors. for your sard 800cc injectors a nismo pump will do fine and is the best option. it's actually a bit under your injectors. at 100% duty your injectors flow 4.8L min = 288L/ph. nismo pump flows 276L/ph so it's a bit underrated for your injectors but you'd have to be mad to be running them at 100% anyway. just buy the nismo pump.

You might have to test a factory new Nissan pump mate ;) I hear they flow almost as much as the Nismo item.

What's on paper is not correct in terms of their specs.

Proof of that was Snowman who ran what, 380rwkw on the factory pump for a while.

But i agree, buy the Nismo item, it's massively cheaper so the best solution

wow, that is the first nismo pump failure I've heard of. I've never personally seen or had one myself and until now had not heard of one. the longest I've used one is 6 years and it's still going. I've only ever owned one walbro and had to replace it once in 2 years. and heard of plenty of bosch failures too (granted many due to improper installation) but until now had not heard of a nismo failure.

I had not started the car for a while (few months) and then once I tried to start it again that was it, just died. Put a multimeter on it and it was not drawing any amps. Had me f**ked for a while trying to figure it out... was going to try warranty via RHDJapan but it was too much of a headache. So ended up fitting a Bosch 044 for I reckon $300 in total, a proper installation though :)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
