I made 370+rwkw with a Nismo pump and Nismo 740cc injectors, as have many others.

You will be fine.

The nismo intank will be enough for you wont have any problems great pump if dont want to go external surge tank setup.

Thanks guys. Do you know what the Nismo pump is HP rated to or how many LPH it can flow in comparison to the 040?

A few that I have found on the net say they are Nismo fuel pumps for GTR's, I am assuming this will have no problem fitting one like that in my GTS-T? When installing would I need to drill out any restrictor to get the max flow out of it like I did on the Bosch, or can I just install as is?

Does anyone know where I could pick one up for a reasonable price in Melbourne, saves me waiting for one to arrive in the post

Even though you were using a 040, but is the consesus still that a Bosch 044 mounted intank will die a premature death if using E85?

Very curious as I'm running a 044 intank and I want to switch to E85 but just wondering if anyone has ran E85 since the last post and had good results :thumbsup:

Thats not to say every Bosch pump be it 040 or 044 will die using E85, I was just speculating on why mine failed but I don't know for sure. Maybe somebody who has been using these pumps for prolonged periods can share their experiences

been using 044 in e85 for 1 year now no problem.

Do you have your 044 intank? I know its meant to be an inline fuel pump but can it be installed intank? My friend has a spare one thats all and I can get it tonight, if I could do it that way at least I could use my car until the Nismo arrives

go the nismo pump brent

Cheers Hamish - I will try and source one from Japan, hopefully it doesn't take too long to get here. Any ideas of the usual delivery times from RHD?

Nup I have my nismo intank and my 044 is mounted inline externally with my surge tank.

I have just picked up a Brand new 040 tonight for an awesome price so at least now I will be able to get the car back on the road.

I am still intending on getting a Nismo pump down the track its just right now getting the car on the road ASAP was my number 1 priority.

I will drain what is left in the tank tomorrow (United fuel) just as a precaution, as the fuel pump had problems shortly after using that fuel from that particular station (i'm not blaming the fuel or the station I am just being cautious). I am also under the believe that the United blend might have a higher ethanol content then the advertised E85 as I've heard it is often around the E90 mark & the guy at the servo stated that often it is E90. Going by that theory is it possible that a 90% ethanol blend with only 10% unleaded might have seized my pump due to lack of lubrication? I might be completely wrong with what I have just said but its just a thought..

Anyhow, after putting my pump in tomorrow I shall start with a fresh batch of Caltex E-flex which will generally have a lower ethanol % and see how I go

I will report back after using it for a while and let people know whether the same thing happened or not

Brent, ID1000's, Nismo intank, 400rwkw - Trent said no issues what-so-ever.

As for United, Braeside has varied between 83-85% Ethanol over the last couple months, seems quite consistent :) My sensor has yet to read anything higher than E85

Caltex has been bang on E70 for ages, sensor never read any different except for i period during winter last year when it went into the 60's, but never seen it change from E70 since and i've been on United for about 3 tanks.

Daz: Aren't we running similar setups? why so hardcore? You didn't need to change the lines either, standard will cope fine.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
