lol, well fair enough steve-o and paul, I still say you guys are lazy. shit even F1 teams use gravity to put their fuel in!!! but you guys need pumps? maybe an easy idea would be a simple gerry can stand? hold the can at the correct height, would flow a hell of a lot faster than a pump rig... would be hands free once you lift the can up, and let the good times flow....

still each to their own. i need the exercise I get from occasionally lifting up a 20kg can and holding it for 30 seconds or so. :)

LOL. It came in handy this week. Draining fuel from a car which you couldn't turn the engine on. Through the boot and suck away. We got a multi on it.... 10.5 V at the pump terminals. Hmmm. Shorter cables with a possiblilty of doubling them up or a thicker cable with a 12 V rated switch, not a 240V. V 2.0 in progress ;)

I thought about a stand before this, but all the stands that I was thinking about had the same problem of being too big when packed away in the car when driving somewhere but the fuel pump is just that, a pump and some lines all of which easily fit into one of those enviro bags you get from coles :)

Time to shorten the wires, get slightly larger ID tubing and then finally mount it so it doesnt look to pov spec

paul has guns to hold 100kg of e85 - stevo on the other hand...hmmm

HA!

beerbaron - u cracked me up with your comment of f1 teams using gravity fed jerry cans, very true & very funny

lol, i'm reading that marko thinks he can take steve-o in a bout of greco roman wrestling... happy to referee if needed...

just don't fart when you are locked in some kind of gay choker hold. it's not polite and will get you disqualified. and no john hoppa type finger pointing pls.

this is what I envisage. marko v steve-o. who can tell where one man ends and the other begins? beautiful it's own disturbing way...

hi nathan - house reno's is taking up too much of my time, im always thinking about this damn pump though & very keen to see how it performs.

the good news is that i did sell my old surge which had 2 x 044's & also sold my intank 044.

i also need to determine what pump is currently running intank in my gtr - i should just ask my mate who had this mod done 15yrs ago (i think its a nismo)

Back from the Dead..

what in tank pump would be best to use on a R33 300-400rwkw running E85

Aeromotive 340 Stealth inline and deatschwerks pump look the goods but would they keep up for a car on E85 say 350Kw and boost max of 25Psi?

They look like they can for 98 but will the flow be enough for E85?

(currently have a Walbro 255 HP? which i don't think will cut it.. could i be wrong?)

i believe the Aeromotive 340 pumps dont like E85 ...i have heard of a few failures of them when using e85, shame because when i saw them i was hoping i could use them also.

Looks like 044 wins again.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
